Quill is a nonprofit startup that provides free writing and grammar support for elementary, middle, and high school students. Founded by Peter Gault in 2014, Quill is a powerful tool for improving students' writing essentials and helping them become better students free of cost!
The Quill app can be personalized for each student, based on their writing levels and current knowledge. Upon creating an account, users have multiple learning tools available for improving grammar and writing skills. Some of the tools include Quill Connect, Lessons, Diagnostic, Proofreader, Grammar, and more. Quill can be used as an effective tool in the classroom as teachers can connect Quill to their class curriculums or virtual Google Classrooms to assign activities and track progress.
