About This Service

Let Essentials in Writing take the scoring burden off your mind! Our Scoring Team includes a variety of qualified individuals, including long-time educators, librarians, and professionals with Bachelor’s degrees in English, and they are ready to take the burden of grading compositions away from you.

Parents of students completing levels 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12 of Essentials in Writing are eligible to purchase this service. Offered from August 1 to May 15 of each school year, one composition for each EIW assignment may be submitted for scoring. If purchased after August 1 start date, services still expire on May 15 the following year.

How Do The Scoring Services Work?

• One final composition from each composition lesson of Essentials in Writing may be presented for scoring.
• Students receive a rubric with a score as well as a one-paragraph write-up from their scorer complimenting strengths and sharing areas to improve, plus, detailed comments and suggestions within the composition.
• Scoring Services will be conducted online through Canvas by Instructure.

PLEASE NOTE: Scoring services are for Essentials in Writing only and are not eligible for unconditional money back guarantee.

What parents and students are saying about our scoring services!

I just wanted to tell you how thankful I am for your help scoring Danielle’s and Erica’s compositions this year. Your input was invaluable. Both girls have gained confidence in their writing skills. I think it is safe to say that even Erica enjoyed writing this year and Danielle learned a great deal from you. I couldn’t have done it without you. Erica and I look forward to working with you again in the fall. (Danielle will be attending college). Thank you again!

I used this program with my 9th grader last year. LOVED IT! I did the graded option (Scoring Services). Ms. Lerner’s feedback made my son work harder and change his writing style to improve. He would have never done that with ol mom here. How wonderful it was NOT to have to teach this subject since I am a math whiz.

Thank you for offering the scoring services. I know we mentioned it to you several times and I was so happy when you added it this last year. My son and daughter both enjoyed learning from Ms Lester and they feel like it was the perfect addition to your curriculum to help them improve! And it took a lot off my plate. Now I just sit down and read Ms Lester’s comments with them and we assess the score. It has been such a wonderful thing for ALL of us!
