AI Tools for Teachers / Writing & Reading Support
Responding to thirty drafts is a week's worth of marginal comments. Writing and reading tools share that load: feedback suggestions on student writing, text leveling that rewrites a passage for different reading ages, and read-aloud support for students who need it.
The best of these keep the teacher as the final reader. Use them to find the patterns — the same comma splice in twelve essays — and spend your own comments on the things only you know about each writer.
