Choosing from a menu of topics, students develop an idea into a paragraph, as they write their own topic sentence, body and conclusion.

The program prompts students step by step, from pre-writing to a finished paragraph.

Teachers can monitor their students progress in the record management system.

The questions, answers and explanations of the programs can be spoken aloud.

Designed for students in grades 9 through 11 (ages 14 and up), the software can also be used by English language learners and adult students.
