Grading your child’s writing assignments can feel like walking a tightrope.
You want to be supportive—but honest. Encouraging—but rigorous. And if you’re like most homeschooling parents, you didn’t sign up to be a full-time English teacher… much less a professional writing evaluator.
That’s where Essentials in Writing’s Scoring Service comes in.
This is more than just grading—it’s expert, individualized feedback from real teachers who know how to nurture growth and build confidence. It’s the homeschool grading solution thousands of families didn’t know they needed—but now won’t go without.
What Is the EIW Scoring Service?
The EIW Scoring Service is a one-of-a-kind program that allows students to submit their writing assignments directly to a team of professional educators who provide:
- Personalized feedback
- Detailed scoring rubrics
- Constructive comments to improve clarity, structure, and grammar
- Turnaround that respects your homeschool schedule
Instead of guessing how well your child is doing, you’ll have real, measurable feedback—without the pressure of playing teacher and evaluator.
Why EIW’s Scoring Service Actually Works
Not all grading services are created equal. Essentials in Writing offers a scoring service that’s built for real homeschool families—by real educators who understand what matters most.
Graded by Certified Teachers
Every submission is evaluated by trained, certified teachers who know writing instruction inside and out. You’re not getting auto-graded rubrics—you’re getting expert eyes on every paper.
Personalized, Narrative Feedback
Instead of a simple score or vague note, your child receives clear, detailed, and encouraging feedback. We explain what worked, what didn’t, and how to improve—without killing motivation.
Revision Opportunities
We believe in growth. That’s why students are allowed to revise and resubmit based on the feedback they receive. It’s a true learning cycle, not just a one-and-done.
Perfect Alignment with Curriculum
Because our scoring service was built for Essentials in Writing, there’s zero disconnect. It fits seamlessly into your child’s learning flow, with no guesswork or outside interpretation needed.
Stress Relief for Parents
Let’s be honest: grading essays is overwhelming. With EIW’s scoring service, the weight is off your shoulders. We handle all the grading—completely. You get to be the parent, not the teacher, too.
“I Don’t Feel Qualified to Grade My Child’s Writing…”
You’re not alone. Most parents feel uncertain when it comes to assessing essays, grammar, and written expression—especially as students get older.
- Am I being too harsh?
- Am I letting too much slide?
- How does this compare to what’s expected at grade level?
With the Scoring Service, you’ll never have to ask those questions again. You’ll know exactly where your student stands, and you’ll be able to support them from a place of clarity—not confusion.
Graded by Real Educators, Not Algorithms
This is not an AI bot. This is not a checklist grader.
Your child’s work is reviewed by hand by qualified, experienced teachers—many of whom are former classroom instructors, homeschoolers, or certified English language educators.
They don’t just slap a grade on a paper and move on. They actually care. They give guidance. They respond to the student’s voice. And they help spark growth that sticks.
See Real Progress Over Time
One of the most powerful parts of the Scoring Service is the ability to track your child’s improvement from assignment to assignment.
You’ll see:
- Where they’ve mastered a concept
- Where they need more support
- And how their confidence grows along with their skills
You’re not just getting writing assignments turned in—you’re getting visible results.
Save Time and Reduce Burnout
Parents already wear too many hats. With the Scoring Service:
- You no longer need to spend hours grading and second-guessing
- Your homeschool day becomes smoother and less stressful
- Your relationship with your child stays intact—because you’re not the “tough grader” anymore
Let the teachers handle the scoring. You focus on guiding the learning.
Perfect for Neurodiverse and Reluctant Writers
Many neurodivergent learners benefit from external feedback that isn’t emotionally charged. EIW’s scorers are trained to be encouraging, supportive, and precise—providing feedback in a way that builds self-esteem, not anxiety.
And for reluctant writers, that little extra motivation of “someone else is reading this” can make all the difference.
More Confidence. Less Guesswork.
With Essentials in Writing’s Scoring Service, you’re giving your child:
- An authentic audience
- Expert feedback
- And the gift of knowing their words matter
And you’re giving yourself:
- Peace of mind
- Professional support
- And the freedom to teach without being the judge
