Photograph a child's writing on your own device and Sage marks it for spelling, punctuation and sense, then suggests better words. Each thing it finds becomes a question, not an answer, so the child finds the fix and puts it right on paper with a pencil.
Marking a set of books is one of the biggest time costs in teaching, and children learn far more from finding a mistake themselves than from reading a tick. Pick the age and how much support, then photograph each piece as it comes to you. Sage marks it against the level you chose: “find it yourself” (just how many slips, no clues), “show where” (each spot circled with a question), or “show the fix” for your youngest writers. Show the child, then press Next piece for the next one. Nothing is stored. The photo goes from your device to the marking and back, then it is gone.
How does Mark It work?
You photograph a child’s writing on your own device. Sage spots missing capitals, full stops, spelling slips and words that could be better, then shows each one as a question. The child finds and fixes it on paper with a pencil.
Does it give children the answers?
Not by default. You choose how much support: just how many slips there are, each spot circled with a question, or the correction shown too for the youngest writers.
Do pupils need a device or an account?
No. Only you use it, on your own phone, tablet or laptop. Children never sign in.
Are the photos of children’s work stored?
No. The photo goes from your device to the marking and back, then it is gone. Nothing is kept.
Is Mark It free?
Free to try. Each piece you mark uses one token. Every account gets 20 free tokens, and Pro gives 50 a day.
