How LessonWriter Began Writing Lessons

Are you tired of using your weekends to catch up on work? Hate missing time with your family while grading or making up new lessons?

LessonWriter was built by teachers, for teachers, with one idea in mind: make it easier for teachers to create high-quality lessons, without sacrificing their life, time with family and friends, and mental health.

One teacher created an application to perform repetitive tasks with new materials, such as formatting worksheets and creating flashcards from a newspaper article. Colleagues noticed and added their own ideas and applications, and as the collection grew, another teacher suggested they all be brought together in a single website.

LessonWriter was born and continues to grow with the support of teachers, administrators, and all life-long learners.

What Does LessonWriter Do?

LessonWriter.com automatically creates print, web, and mobile-ready lessons to promote comprehension in any subject: an article on cell structure for biology class, a primary source document in history, a short story, or this very moment’s headline news.

All you do is copy and paste the link to the article in LessonWriter.com, and a lesson based on that text is made, including vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, roots & stems, comprehension tasks, and graphic organization.

No matter the subject, LessonWriter makes a lesson to help advance students’ understanding.

Want more input in making the lesson? No worries: we have three options for customization:

1. Express: We handle all the details, and you can instantly download or print your lesson.
2. Standard: We take care of language support (for example, vocabulary and grammar), but you write your own comprehension questions.
3. Detailed: You have a hand in every part of the process. From roots and stems, pronunciation, to graphic organizers and differentiated instruction. We just do the backend!
