Common questions

Do writing tasks have answers?

Writing prompts include a model opening and clear success criteria rather than a single 'correct' answer, so parents and teachers can give useful feedback.

Are the reading passages original?

Yes. All passages are written by Success Tutoring and checked for age-appropriate vocabulary and sentence length.

Are these aligned to NAPLAN?

Resources tagged NAPLAN practise the same text types and skills NAPLAN assesses. They are NAPLAN-style and not official test papers.

How to use these resources

  1. Monday: read and copy the words. Wednesday: fill-the-gap and sentences. Friday: test.
  2. Say the word, say the sounds, write the word, check.
  3. Keep a 'tricky words' list for the ones that keep slipping.
