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
- Spend five minutes planning before writing.
- Use the success criteria as a checklist when editing.
- Compare the model opening with your child's opening — what makes each one work?
