Quill Reading for Evidence is a formative assessment tool that delivers continuous feedback on open-ended writing to build argumentation skills.

The Problem

88% of students in low-income schools are not proficient writers, and teachers lack time to provide individualized feedback. Quill uses AI to deliver immediate, actionable writing feedback and coaching, enabling multiple revision cycles, improving student outcomes, and giving teachers real time data to better support learners while reducing instructional burden.

The Solution

Quill.org addresses literacy gaps in low-income, Title I schools by providing AI-powered writing support through its Reading for Evidence tool. Students respond to open-ended prompts and receive immediate, real-time feedback, enabling multiple cycles of revision and skill development. Unlike multiple-choice assessments, Quill focuses on writing and evidence-based argumentation, strengthening reading, writing, and critical thinking skills.

Through Quill assignments, teachers are equipped with data dashboards that highlight each student’s strengths and areas for growth. This real-time insight allows educators to personalize instruction based on the diverse needs of their learners while reducing the time burden of grading. Quill ensures that feedback is continuous, actionable, and aligned to classroom instruction.

Since 2014, Quill has supported over 9 million students globally. By combining AI-driven feedback with high-quality literacy practice, Quill is improving outcomes and expanding equitable access to effective writing instruction.

Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?
Quill serves students and teachers in low-income, Title I schools, where learners often lack access to consistent, high-quality writing feedback. Our primary focus is on middle and high school students developing literacy and critical thinking skills. Quill aims to help students in building the writing skills essential for success in college, careers, and civic life. Through short, structured practice and immediate feedback, students learn to express ideas with clarity and precision, revising their work multiple times until they produce strong, evidence-based writing. This transforms writing into a continuous learning process, building confidence and effectiveness. For teachers, Quill removes the barrier of time-intensive grading while preserving high-quality instruction. By making effective writing practice and feedback accessible in every classroom, Quill helps ensure that all students can develop the communication skills critical to future opportunity.
