Instantly assess students’ writing levels and progress!
Assessing student writing can be a very time consuming and tedious process. Reading through and evaluating dozens of multi-page documents and providing meaningful feedback during your “free” time is no one’s idea of fun.
But we’ve come up with a solution that can help - WriQ.
Introduction to WriQ
WriQ is an extension for Google Docs that automatically grades papers digitally. It’s faster, more accurate and consistent than traditional manual and subjective grading - giving students, parents and teachers clear visibility of writing progress over time against peers and standardized norms.

Building a complete picture
WriQ calculates each student’s attainment level as a writer on the basis of these qualitative factors:
- Writing Speed in Words per Minute
- Correct Writing Speed in WCPM
- Sentence Length
- Text Maturity
- Spelling Accuracy
- Punctuation Correctness
- Grammar Correctness
- Correct Word Sequences
Once that scoring is complete, teachers can assess their students’ writing from a qualitative standpoint through the use of Texthelp-built rubrics. These rubrics are based on the student’s grade and the genre of writing, measuring everything from plot, narrative techniques, language and more.
Through these metrics, WriQ can give teachers, administrators and parents a more meaningful picture of each student’s overall maturity and sophistication as a writer.
