Never writes for students

Classroom illustration created with AI: a teacher supports a student writing while another student uses a laptop.

The problem

Many students have brilliant
ideas. The hard part is getting
them onto the page — and
teachers can’t sit next to every
student.

Milo supports a wide range of learners, including students with dyslexia and language-based learning differences. It’s built for the teachers, special educators, speech-language pathologists, school leaders and parents who support them.

Who Milo helps

For students who have ideas but struggle to get
them onto the page.

You can’t sit next to every student. Some know exactly what they want to say, yet the blank page, organizing, or getting words down gets in the way.

How Milo helps

Support at every stage of the writing
process.

Get started

Gentle prompts help students move past the blank page and find a first idea.

Organize thinking

Simple structures help students sort what they know before they draft.

Keep writing

Light-touch support helps students stay with their writing and build it out.

Milo writing-interface marketing example: My Writing, Step 1 · Get started, What is one thing you already know about your topic? A student writes: Sea turtles come back to the same beach where they hatched. Supports shown: Ideas, Picture it, Say it.

Why Milo is different

Grounded in research

Research on writing instruction and language learning informs Milo’s design.

classroom up.

Developed by an

Informed by SLPs
