The BoomWriter App provides schools with an online writing platform. It is a quick and easy app to use for both adults in schools and parents at home.
We looked at BoomWriter and these are our thoughts:
We love this fantastic digital writing platform that is affordable, easy-to-use, and accessible for parents, pupils, and staff.
It removes the need for paper-based writing books for remote learning. All work is saved on the platform for teacher, parents, and classmates to review.
We like the reward system which encourages children to write.
Pupils have their own login information to share their own writing with school and so that they can comment about the books that they are writing.
We like the fact that you can see how the child’s writing has progressed throughout their time at school.
We love the fact that schools and parents can purchase a published book of their children’s writing.
We think the children will love the opportunity to gain digital rewards for writing and to be able to create avatars.

The true purpose of creative writing is of course to be published! Every child receives a personalised book at the end of the project that includes their own writing- all of your pupils will be published writers!
