One platform for teaching close reading and writing across subjects.

Our Solutions

To be prepared for the world ahead, research shows students need regular writing practice across subjects. With ThinkCERCA, students learn how to consume information, think about it critically, and express their thoughts effectively in ELA, social studies, science, and math.

Our online curriculum walks students through the process of analyzing content-rich texts and multimedia to construct cohesive argumentative, informational, or narrative writings.
