Teachers have reported a need for new Quill Lessons focused on correcting double negatives (e.g., “I don’t need no friends”) and proper use of well vs. good, noting that these are very common errors for bilingual high school students who need targeted grammar practice.

It would be helpful to have dedicated SAT or ACT prep activities.

Teachers have reported that an Anonymous Mode to share data would be helpful for displaying student results to students and stakeholders without privacy concerns. In the example a teacher provided below, one program replaces student names with author names.

I have many low readers (below grade level) but they are held to grade-level standards. They have the accommodation to use audio for text. It would be helpful to have a tool built-in to Quill for this rather than having them use Snap 'n Read, an external tool that doesn't always work for them. For students who have difficulty with writing or typing and spelling, offering a speech to text or predictive text option or allowing copy and paste of a sentence stem would save them time and help them not grow too frustrated to focus on the meat of the task.

More practice for comma usage for independent and dependent clauses

There are several lessons that are tagged as sentence fragments, but it would be helpful to have independent practice activities on fragments as well.

I would love to see more content for dashes, ellipses, commas, semicolons and colons, especially for higher grade levels.

More independent run-on sentence activities geared towards upper elementary through middle school grade levels.
