Writing support for grades 3–8

Help students get more of their
thinking onto the page.

Designed for students who struggle with writing, including students with dyslexia and language-based learning differences, Milo provides a structured writing space with support when students need it, so they can keep writing while you support others.

How Milo helps

Support that stays connected to the writing.

01

Structure the writing space around the student

Students need different amounts of help organizing their writing, regardless of grade. Milo lets you choose the writing type, structure, and word goal without creating separate templates. Students can focus on one part at a time and keep their outline visible as they draft, helping them organize their ideas and keep writing.

02

Help students move forward with their own ideas

Students often have more ideas than they can get onto the page. Milo helps them find and develop those ideas through questions, sentence starters, and voice-to-text. With these supports built into the writing space, students can get help on their own and keep writing.

See the process behind the writing

Milo gives teachers insight into how students get started, use writing supports, and continue writing. See what happens when you can't be beside every student, with reports that help guide your instruction and provide talking points for conversations with families.
