  • Teachers save significant time on marking and feedback.
  • Students benefit from personalised guidance that accelerates writing improvement.

  • Data insights help schools track progress across classes and levels.

Student Testimonial

“Before Scribo, I didn’t really know what to fix in my writing – I just got marks and comments at the end. Scribo shows me exactly where I can improve while I’m writing, not after. I actually enjoy editing now because I can see my writing getting better straight away. It makes writing feel less scary and more achievable.”

Teacher Testimonial

“Scribo has been a game-changer in my classroom. I teach a mixed-ability Year 7–8 class, and the range in writing skills is huge. Scribo gives students immediate, clear feedback that they actually respond to, and it frees me up to focus on teaching rather than spending hours correcting the same issues over and over. I can see real improvements in structure, punctuation, and confidence across the class.”

Proven Impact across NZ Schools

Across nearly 1,000 students in New Zealand schools, a controlled trial of Scribo showed accelerated progress in writing, with students strengthening their control of sentence structure, clarity, and accuracy in line with the refreshed New Zealand Curriculum progressions. 

By providing consistent, immediate feedback at the point of writing, Scribo delivers a dual benefit, enabling more equitable access to high-quality formative assessment for students, while simultaneously supporting teachers to deepen their understanding of effective writing instruction and strengthen their classroom practice.
