Writable's differentiated practice allows teachers to assign an assignment to an individual student, targeted at a specific skill. These assignments can be viewed and assigned while grading a writing submission.

❗ Note: Differentiated Practice assignments will not automatically sync a grade to an LMS (i.e. Google Classroom, Canvas, or Schoology) gradebook.

Tip! Looking for targeted assignments based on proficiency for a group of students? Check out the Proficiency & Recommendation Report.
