NoRedInk Reviews & Product Details

Great writing supplement. I thought it was just grammar practice until I was able to explore the depth and breadth of the program. So many great writing activities with outstanding tutorials. The guided essay drafts are exceptional. The array of quickwrites and the ability to add your own prompts is awesome. And, the fact that there are prompts related to whole works you may read in class allows for greater integration and support of what you are already doing. But, now, the inclusion of AI generated comments for some assignments has really helped take this program to the next level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It could be a bit easier to navigate. That's the only drawback that I have encountered so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In addition to the traditional grammar practice, NoRedInk continuously adds more authentic writing opportunities to its platform. For example, they have skill-building quickwrite prompts already created and aligned for teachers to implement. I can filter by grade and and desired skill for students to practice that align with state standards. They also have guided drafts, which provide students with step by step support when drafting multiple different kinds of essays. It also includes exemplar examples for students to use as a model as they are writing. They also allow teachers to create their own prompts and rubrics right in NoRedInk making implementation and integration really seemless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside of NoRedInk is that students use it multiple years in a row and the grammar practice is the same, so it gets repetitive without increasing the rigor for the students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Noredink forces students to work to mastery of a skill not just do a worksheet, copy answers and move on. I have seen critical thinking skills even improve as students practice claims, evidence and reasoning exercises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are none. I love this program. It works so simply and easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NRI in general is a nice resource to supplement my students' writing skills. The AI grading portion is great in that it's efficient, consistent, and easy to implement. The passages given captured my kids' attention as bonus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's really nothing I dislike about NRI. If I truly had to pick something it would be that more topics and lessons could be added. But there's honestly plenty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is customized to the student, if they get the question wrong, it will be re-phrased and asked again. By contrast, if a student already knows the concept, it won't belabor it and cause the student to become bored and disengaged. Much of the content is free, which is great for school districts where there isn't a lot of money to spend on curriculum. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the students take WAY TOO LONG choosing their favorite interests (characters and names of friends, etc.) which are later incorporated in the lessons (to make it fun, interactive, etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't really like anything about this sight but one or two minor adjustments an the thing would be fine. It just has to any downsides compared to good sides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like this site. In the beginning it shows up as being cool and quirky but it isn't. It asks you for characters to choose from but the characters are just used for coding names. Secondly the app is extremely punishingly. While it gives you a chance when you get something wrong. Afterwords if you got it right or wrong it still makes you answer 2 more in a row to continue. It also isn't fun a twenty question review took an hours cause i misclicked or got it wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This site personalizes learning to make review fun. Students are doing to the same content and standards as on other sites, but because they can choose their interests, student motivation multiplies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes a little bit of time for some students to get started initially. Because there are so many options for interests, students like to look at every single one before making a decision. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When COVID-19 transitioned my school into digital learning, I was looking for another website, similar to Quill, that would support my students in their independent grammar development. NoRedInk offers that. It allows the teacher to assign diagnostics and practice that leads to quizzes. It has multiple features that allow the teacher to incorporate a writing assessment in addition to grammar assessment. I also like that it is more interactive when it comes to grammar assessment. The interface allows the students to change what they feel needs to be changed--punctuation, capitalization, etc.--thus better revealing what the students would naturally do as writers instead of forcing an answer on them. I also like that the sentences in the activities are tailored to an extent to the students' interests--for instance, involving sentences about Harry Potter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I began using NoRedInk after using Quill, which was fantastic. I shifted to NoRedInk because I figured that I had exhausted what Quill offered. One thing that I don't like about it is its lack of grammar instruction--though I may be mistaken. It doesn't seem to provide much assistance or instruction for the activities to the point where my students evidently struggled and received low scores. It doesn't seem as capable of independent pacing or instruction as Quill. Another thing that I didn't like is that whenever a new student joined the class, I had to return to the site and assign the activities that the rest of his/her classmates received. It would be better if there were a way for all students, no matter when they join, to receive the same activities that were assigned to the class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I hate it but I do like how you can customize sentences with things you like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A lot they need to go explain the difference between how we talk vs how we should write. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is actually helpful in getting students to understand the mechanics of grammar without being boring! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The free version is pretty limited, which is hard if your school doesn’t have the budget for a premium version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
