Essay helper is a vast array of resources including dictionaries and computers. It aids the various facets of the essay writing process. In common parlance it indicates special services and artifacts like essay writing services, graphic essay organizers, writing maps, spelling and grammar checkers and search engines.
Use of fancy essay helpers in ordinary school level class room essays may at times be overkill. They are meant for more complex essay writing work. They are quite helpful in dealing with topics, which have different branches to deal with. They ease the process of writing dissertations, research papers and long essays. If you need to organize your essay in many chapters, essay helpers can make your job easier.
MS Word offers an essay helper tool, which you might have seen but not noticed. Enable “Show readability statistics” through the “Spelling and Grammar” tab under “Tools/Options” menu. Thereafter whenever you run a spell check, MS Word will rate how easy or difficult your writing is. It uses the “Flesch-Kincaid” (Say FK) scale of rating. “Flesch Reading ease” tells how easy it is to understand your writing. Generally the pundits believe that a score of 50 or more is good. For a good score you should write short and direct simple sentences. Minimize the use of words with many syllables. FK “Grade level” tells you the school grade of the reader who may not find it difficult to follow your writing. FK grade level score is inversely proportionate to Flesch Reading ease score. A FK grade level score of 8 or less is good. It means that a student in grade 8 or more will have no problem understanding you. But make sure that you do not sacrifice your content at the altar of FK. Many experts feel that FK is quite subjective.
Now let us have a look at some of the other essay helpers.
