Graider for English teachers is the AI red pen for middle and high school ELA classes that still collect paper. Students hand in a handwritten essay, a paragraph response, or reading comprehension short answers. Graider English grading starts with the prompt you already wrote and the rubric or answer key you already use.
You upload that test and your answer key or rubric. You photograph the student papers. Marks land against your own rubric. You review each mark, override a score when your judgment differs, toggle written feedback on or off for that paper, and keep the pen. Then you hand the work back as a PDF or an email.
AI essay grading for teachers follows the rubric rows you already mark. You grade papers with AI on the pages you collected, then you read before a score goes home.

Your rubric. Their essays. You review every mark. You keep the pen.
Middle school English teachers collect a paragraph on a short story and a page of reading questions. High school ELA teachers collect a multi-paragraph essay and short answers under a passage. The rubric and the comprehension key already live in the folder.
Upload the essay prompt or the reading test, and your rubric or answer key. Photograph the student papers. Get marks against your own rubric. Then review, override, toggle written feedback, and hand the set back as a PDF or an email.
The points and the marking notes you wrote are the source of truth. Photograph every page, with even light and the full sheet in the frame, including the back and any extra sheet. Keep one student's pages together. Graider matches pages to students on your roster, and you confirm that match before a student sees a score.
Put the judgments you already make on the rubric you upload, with the points for each row and what a response has to include to earn them.
Thesis or claim. Say where you expect the claim, what full credit looks like on this prompt, and what a vague or missing claim earns.
Evidence and quotation use. Say whether students quote the text, paraphrase a scene, or both, and what a quote with no explanation earns next to a quote tied to the claim. If the prompt asks for two pieces of evidence, put that count on the row.
Analysis. Say what counts as explanation in the student's own words, such as a link from the quote back to the claim. A quote with the explanation unfinished is a partial you already know how to score. Write that partial on the rubric, with the points.
Organization. Say what a clear order looks like for this assignment: paragraphs that follow the claim, and a beginning and an ending that face the prompt.
Conventions. Say how you score spelling, punctuation, and sentence control, and how many points that row carries. You review that mark with the others and change it when the page and the first pass disagree.
How to write a rubric AI can follow covers point values, partial credit, and examples to upload with the key.
A reading page asks for answers you can list: the motive, a word in context, the event that changes the scene. Put the full-credit response on the answer key, the equivalents you count, and the partial-credit versions with the points each one earns. A response that matches a line you wrote earns those points. A response with no matching line is one you read at review.
Short answer grading with AI walks through accepted answers and partial credit on a paper stack. On an English reading page, the key is still the one you wrote for that passage.
A paragraph response asks for a claim, a point at the text, and a few sentences of explanation. Mark it on the rows you use for the essay, scaled to that length: claim, evidence, analysis, and conventions when you score them.
Keep the pen by editing the comment in your own words. Change a sentence that names a missing quote when the quote is on the page. The words a student reads are the words you kept.
Some papers include a plot diagram, a story map, or another drawing. Open that drawing at review and set the score yourself. Diagrams, graphs, and drawings are yours to mark. You keep the pen on that call.
Start with answers that carry a Low confidence badge, the flag on hard-to-read handwriting. Read the line, compare it with your key or rubric, and override any score you disagree with. You keep the pen on that override.
Toggle written feedback on or off for each paper. Turn comments on when they should go home with the score. Leave them off when the class will talk through that essay and the score is enough. Edit any comment you leave on, so it is in your words.
After you review, hand each paper back as a PDF or an email. One PDF per student holds the pages they wrote, the score you kept, and the comments you turned on. Email that file, or return it through the path your school already uses. You choose when the set goes out.
The marks come from your rubric and from the review you just finished. You keep the pen.
Graider for English teachers is the AI red pen for paper grading. You upload the essay or reading test and your rubric or answer key, photograph the student papers, and get marks against that rubric.

Yes. Put your rows on the rubric you upload: thesis or claim, evidence and quotation use, analysis, organization, and conventions, with the points and the partial credit you already give. Graider marks the photographed essay against those rows. You can change any score before a paper goes home.
Against the answer key you upload. Write the full-credit response, the equivalents you accept, and the partial-credit versions with their points. A matching line earns those points. You read responses with no matching line, and any answer with a Low confidence badge, before you release the score.
Yes. Toggle written feedback on or off for each paper. When a comment stays on, edit it in your own words so it matches the margin note you would write. The score and the words a student sees are the ones you kept.
