Dear Friends of The Writing Revolution,
Last year marked a significant milestone for The Writing Revolution (TWR) as we celebrated our 10th anniversary—a moment that prompted reflection on how best to deepen our impact. We asked ourselves: How can we further empower educators to deliver effective writing instruction in every K–12 classroom?
The clearest answers came from the schools we serve. Those that fully engaged with our supports—coaching, classroom observations, and site visits—experienced the strongest gains in student literacy. But this revealed a challenge: How can a small nonprofit like TWR extend that level of support to many more educators, across the country and beyond?
Meeting this challenge required partnership. Enter NIIT, whose expertise in learning technology—and shared commitment to thoughtful, responsible use of generative AI—made them an ideal partner for our next chapter.
Together with NIIT, we are proud to introduce Judy, an AI-powered coach and activity generator named in honor of TWR founder Dr. Judith Hochman. Judy streamlines the process of creating effective writing activities, dramatically reducing planning time while preserving the integrity of the Hochman Method. Whether educators have the book as their guide or have attended TWR training, Judy helps them embed the Hochman Method seamlessly into daily lessons.
To ensure that this innovation reaches as many educators as possible, Judy is available through MyTWR Tools, a new offering that includes customizable writing activities and teaching resources. MyTWR Tools is included in all paid TWR membership tiers and is also available as a standalone membership, which any educator can purchase—no prior TWR training required.
We invite you to explore all that this exciting new chapter offers—and we’re grateful to support you as you revolutionize writing instruction in your classroom.
With gratitude,
Dr. Dina Zoleo and Toni-Ann Vroom
