What does Edform offer ELA teachers?
Edform brings the everyday work of an English language arts teacher together. AI tools write reading passages at the level you choose, add comprehension questions to any text, level a text for struggling readers, give feedback on student writing and draft rubrics. Interactive worksheets turn your PDFs into online work with typed answers. Open-ended questions are graded with a rubric checklist, sample answer and feedback, while vocabulary becomes guess the word, anagram, crossword and matching games. Every result lands in reports and the class gradebook.
