Questions, answered plainly.

Grade 5 through Grade 12, as one continuous program. The move from Foundations (Grades 5–10) to Applications (Grades 11–12) happens automatically — no new sign-up, no new purchase.

In Foundations (Grades 5–10) your child does one module each weekday, and the five build on each other across the week — reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, peer assessment and the writing task, so by Friday the week has gone somewhere.

In Applications (Grades 11–12) the week changes shape: three longer sessions built around one substantial article, ending in a full planned and revised extended essay.

The whole cycle is laid out on How it works.

One module a weekday. The time a module takes varies a great deal — by grade level, by module type, and by the student. Each module has a defined start and finish, so your child works through one piece of work and stops, rather than working to a clock. A senior week is three sessions built around that week’s article.

Extra, and deliberately so. WritePath is built to do the one thing school cannot do at scale: give a child detailed, individual feedback on their own writing, every single week. A classroom teacher with thirty students cannot mark thirty extended pieces a week, however good they are.

The material is the material their school is already asking of them — taught properly, at their grade level, one piece at a time.

One membership covers the whole program — every grade from 5 to 12, so the membership does not need renewing or upgrading as your child moves up. It includes:

• Daily Success — the weekday English program.
• Trio Journals — My Story, My Life.
• Personalized feedback on every submission, emailed to your child and to you at the same moment.
• My Account for you and My Learning for each child.

WritePath runs on its own sequenced curriculum — eight grades of it, designed grade by grade around what each grade is expected to read and write. The skills it builds are the ones every English classroom is building: close reading, clear paragraphs, academic vocabulary, evidence-based writing. So the work supports what school asks of your child, whichever state you are in and whichever standards their school follows.

WritePath is an independent program. We are not affiliated with, accredited by, or endorsed by any state education authority or standards body, and we don’t claim official alignment with any state’s standards.

Both, because the program is sequenced by grade level rather than pitched at one ability. A strong writer gets work at the top of their grade’s expectations and feedback specific enough to actually move them — the thing bright students most often go without. A struggling writer gets the same week broken into one finishable piece a day, which is usually the real problem: not capability, but nothing ever being completed.

If you are not sure where your child sits, our free tests will tell you: the English Competence Test measures reading, vocabulary and grammar against their own grade’s expectations, and the Writing test does the same for one piece of their writing. Both start from one page.

It takes about a minute. You add each child with just their name, grade level and an email — a Gmail lets them sign in with one tap, any other email works with a quick emailed code (no password to remember). From your My Account you stay in control: change a child’s grade level anytime, update the single feedback email where every child’s reports are sent, review your billing, and open each child’s My Learning to see their weekly modules, recent scores and what’s coming next. Your child just signs in and starts today’s module.

No password, on purpose — forgotten passwords are the single most common reason a child stops doing something online.

If their email is a Gmail, they sign in with one tap. Any other email works too: they enter the address, a code arrives, they type it in. There is no app to install either — it runs in a browser on whatever they already use.

One membership covers up to three children. Choose how many when you subscribe — monthly or yearly — and add or remove a child anytime from My Account. The price adjusts to the number of children on the plan, at US$8 a month per additional child.

Yes, any time, from My Account. It matters more than people expect: the grade level decides which week of material your child is served, so if you started them a grade out, moving it puts them straight onto the right work.

To your child, and to you, at the same moment. Your account has a single feedback email — every child’s reports arrive there, so you have one place to look rather than feedback split across different addresses. You can change that address whenever you like from My Account.

Your child’s own page. It shows this week’s modules, what is done and what is left, their recent scores, and what is coming next. You can open it yourself from My Account — so you can see where they are without asking them.

Not in any way that matters. The program is sequenced, not timed — the modules wait. Vacations, illness and busy weeks are normal, and nothing is lost by skipping them. The only thing worth protecting is the habit of finishing the piece your child has started.

Within minutes of each submission, personalized feedback reaches your child — and the same feedback reaches you, at the same moment, by email. There is no dashboard to log into and no extra step for the family. You see the work being done as it happens.

Two questions, and both deserve a straight answer.

On our side: yes. WritePath uses AI to help produce learning content and to assess open-answer responses, always inside human-designed curriculum and feedback frameworks. The pedagogy and the curriculum are human decisions, and your child always produces their own writing.

On detection: nobody can be one hundred percent certain whether a piece of writing was produced by a person or a machine, and we won’t claim otherwise. What we can do is show you what we saw. Every Writing Task submission carries a short For parent only note beneath the assessment summary:

• Total time taken — from the first word to submission. A piece saved and finished in a later sitting counts the sittings, not the gap between them.
• Estimated focused writing time — only the stretches the piece was actually being worked on. Long pauses and time away from the page don’t count.
• How the piece arrived — how much of the final text was pasted in, and how much was typed in the window.
• AI-authorship likelihood — our estimate of how likely the piece was generated rather than written by a student at that grade. It reads the writing itself and estimates.

These are signals to help you judge, not a verdict, and none of them is proof on its own. Both times are measured in the browser: useful context, not a judgment. But a high likelihood on a piece that arrived pasted in whole, a minute after it was opened, is worth a quiet conversation at home.

No, and we would rather say so. Writing feedback is one informed assessor’s view of one piece of writing — it exists to teach, not to grade definitively. Different markers, human ones included, weight different things. What makes it useful is not the score on any single piece but the pattern across a semester.

Reply to the feedback email and a person reads it. If we got something wrong we will say so and correct it — and if the grade was right but the reasoning wasn’t clear enough, that is our problem to fix, not your child’s.

Yes. Reading material, writing tasks, feedback and tone are all written for the age of the student at each grade level — a Grade 5 module and a Grade 11 module do not sound remotely alike. Details of content standards, child safety and data handling are on the Trust & Safety page.

Yes. We never sell data. Sign-in is passwordless, and every child’s feedback goes only to the feedback email you set. The AI that helps mark work runs inside human-designed curriculum and feedback frameworks, and your child’s writing is used to mark their work and report to you.
