Paragraph Punch
As students advance, to improve writing skills they need in-depth support. They need to organize their thoughts and learn to clearly communicate their ideas in writing.
However, it can be challenging for teachers to provide personal attention to each pupil. This is where Paragraph Punch fits in.

The site provides online interactive exercises that guide users step by step through pre-writing, writing, organizing, editing, rewriting, and publishing.
