✏️ Boost Your Students' Writing Skills Instantly!


Hey Reader!

Do you ever find yourself grading student writing that’s a little… underwhelming? You know, those basic sentences like, “The dog ran.” While technically correct, they don’t tell the whole story.

Let me introduce you to TextFX by Google—a no-account needed, FREE suite of tools that helps students expand and improve their writing in minutes. I just released a new YouTube video where I walk through 9 tools from TextFX that your students can use to:
✔️ Add rich details and descriptions to their writing
✔️ Expand simple sentences into vivid paragraphs
✔️ Use figurative language like similes and alliteration
✔️ Develop logical story progressions and surprise twists

In just a few clicks, TextFX takes a sentence like “The dog ran” and turns it into something like:
“The golden retriever dashed through the sunlit park, its ears flapping and tail wagging as it chased a kite.” 🐾

What you’ll learn in this video:
🎯 How to use the Scene tool to teach descriptive writing
🎯 Practical ways to incorporate these tools into your lessons
🎯 Tips to help students write more creatively and confidently
