Writing Tools for Primary Students

How do students become good writers?
Practice, practice, practice.

CompassLearning knows that developing strong writing skills takes practice, just like playing the cello or speaking fluent Spanish. So we built a word-processing program enriched with everything a student needs to become a confident writer: note cards, mind maps, templates, and more.

Story Creator

Story Creator (Grades 1–2) features interactive learning environments where students learn to read, write, and express their thoughts. Children create their own unique stories with characters, scenery, and vocabulary words of their choosing.

Odyssey Writer

For older students, Odyssey Writer’s internal tools and customization options not only provide a clear, streamlined environment for the writing process, but they actually help students develop the skills they need to become successful writers. Odyssey Writer clarifies each individual step — from brainstorming to outlining to drafting and revision — and provides the tools and framework needed to make good writing second nature.

Teachers love Odyssey Writer because it’s customizable for each unique classroom environment. They can create templates that assist young writers with prewriting, organization, analysis, synthesis, and revision. Teachers can use Odyssey Writer's customizable evaluation rubric to examine students' strengths and weaknesses, ensuring that future writing assignments are tailored to enhance students’ potential for success.
