Why New Zealand trusts Scribo
In a New Zealand school study with Year 5-6 students over 2 terms, Scribo helped students learn 1.6x faster than standard teaching. That’s the equivalent of 24 more students out of every 100 reaching above-standard outcomes.
Scribo had ~90% of students editing their writing in response to our feedback. This level of voluntary revision is very rare amongst edtech tools.
Testimonials
Don't hear it from us... hear it from our users in New Zealand!
"Students are more engaged, more enthusiastic, and visibly enjoying their writing in ways we haven't seen before. Students are eager to write and are staying focused longer than they ever did with our previous tool."
"I have used Scribo in my classroom this year, and can’t believe the difference it has made in the quality of writing in my class. I have a mixed ability Year 7-8 class of 35 students. The range in writing skills is a large one. Scribo has been a ’lifesaver’ for both the students and me. I have been teaching for over 40 years, and have noticed the lack of writing skills many of our students have when they enter Intermediate - poor punctuation, low spelling ability and limited knowledge of parts of speech and sentence structures."
"If we no longer had Scribo, it would be a very sad day for me, PERIOD."
Selena Hinchco from EDconnect interviews the team from Taupō Primary School on their experience with growing writing skills using Scribo.
