ThinkCERCA Partners with Quill

CHICAGO, April 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- ThinkCERCA, a recognized industry leader in student reading and writing growth, is partnering with Quill to offer Quill's AI-powered language skills tools as a complimentary service to the ThinkCERCA platform.

ThinkCERCA's robust platform and blended learning model is built on a research-backed literacy framework (CERCA) for reading and writing across subjects in grades 3-12. It will now offer Quill's use of sentence combining, a highly-effective strategy for building grammar and language skills backed by decades of research, to further student growth potential.

"Building strong writing skills requires students to commit to hundreds of hours of practice and feedback to develop strong written communication skills. By pairing Quill and ThinkCERCA, educators are equipped with powerful tools to ensure that students can develop these critical skills," cited Quill Founder, Peter Gault.

This partnership will provide ThinkCERCA users with:

• Diagnostic assessments
• Quill's library of 700 activities targets 50 national language skills and grammar standards, nestled within ThinkCERCA's writing modules across core subject areas
• Personalized and adaptive feedback from Quill to support sentence-level writing skills

"We provide a structured approach to literacy, but honor the art and craft of classroom teachers," said Eileen Murphy, ThinkCERCA Founder and CEO. "With best-in-class partners like Quill, we are doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes so we can provide an easy-to-use one-stop shop for literacy. That allows teachers to redeploy their time where it is needed most, in nurturing a collaborative classroom."
