Students can use GrammarAid as long as their teacher has enabled it for the assignment. GrammarAid suggestions will only show when they student is actively drafting or revising their writing. Please note that at this time GrammarAid is only available for English writing.

1. Have students open an assignment and click 'Start assignment' or 'Revise your work'.

2. As students write, GrammarAid will underline suggested edits. In the picture below you can see the three different colors students may see, which correspond to the type of suggestion. Students should hover over an underlined word or phrase to see more information.

  • Red: Spelling error
    Students will be shown alternatives for a spelling error to replace the identified word. They can also choose to ignore the mistake or add the word to their dictionary.

  • Blue: Grammar error
    For possible grammar issues, students will be shown a suggestion. Students can also click the 'i' icon to view more information.

  • Yellow: Syntax error/Word choice recommendations
    Students can hover over yellow underlines to view tips about word choice. Clicking the 'i' icon will provide additional details. Some pop-ups will include a short informational video for students to view.

❗ If your students are unable to see GrammarAid suggestions, check that all domains necessary have been permitted for your school or district.
