The best instructional tools are backed by research. When we designed our newest assignment type, Read-Write-Reason™, we started with a pedagogy-first mindset. Every activity is engineered to embed best practices around engagement strategies like choice and decision-making, moving students away from binary, right-or-wrong thinking and driving deep cognitive engagement. Read-Write-Reason™ also guides students through low-stakes, scaffolded steps like: - Selecting texts - Sharing opinions - Engaging in self-reflection This helps them build agency and ultimately transform how they see themselves as writers. The best part? Read-Write-Reason™ activities seamlessly support daily instruction so teachers can weave them into class discussions, small groups, or peer work.

It’s a new frontier for developing critical thinking in US classrooms. At a time when outsourcing our best ideas is easier than ever, NoRedInk is putting student thinking at the center and giving teachers deeper insights into their students’ cognitive process. At NoRedInk, we understand our best ideas emerge through an iterative, personalized process that focuses on how to think, not what to think. Great ideas – and great writing – arrive when students have agency to make choices without the pressure of performance, and grow their understanding and reasoning skills over time. This fall, we’re excited to roll out our newest offering – Read-Write-Reason™. The next step in our mission to make critical thinking visible starts here, and we can’t wait to share it with you!

Join Dr. Paige Whitlock (NoRedInk), Dr. Tanya Baker (National Writing Project), and Dr. Serena Morales (Boise State University) on May 27 for a dynamic conversation with a panel of educators reflecting on how their relationship with AI is evolving in real classrooms, and how they’re balancing personal use, classroom integration, and human- and pedagogy-first approaches.
