With Easy Writer, you can choose
the story or essay that you want to work with. Choose from
over 85 essays that were written by ESL students, stories that are interesting
and exciting, and that provoke thought and conversation.
In addition, the Checklist of Stories from our
Teacher/Student Resource package will help you
to plan what to do because it tells you the difficulty level of each
story and essay. This Resource Package is now available in .pdf format
for download.
If you are working on Level 2, Level 3, or the
Expert Level, you will also have to edit and correct those errors once
you have found them. When you click on an error, a text box appears
and you will type what you think the correct grammatical form or spelling
is.

Do you hate those annoying buzzers everything you
or your students get a wrong answer? We believe in encourating people
to try again, not in punishing them for a wrong answer.
With Easy Writer, you'll be rewarded for trying
out an idea with the English language; you will not be penalized for
getting the wrong answer. You will hear NO buzzers to make you feel
badly....You will receive positive and encouraging feedback!
Do you or your students hate being timed? Or being
cut off in the process of trying to work out a problem?
With Easy Writer, there is no limit to how long you can work
on a particular story, no limit on the number of tries you can make
to correct an error, and no penalty for a wrong answer.
