Literary critics, historians, and scientists don’t write essays. Neither should your students. Our assignments ask students to complete the same writing tasks professionals use everyday.
We let students consider contemporary issues using real data. This allows students to discover new ideas directly connected to the world outside of the classroom.
Students who complete assignments from our literacy sets gain up to nine months of extra learning.
