Common questions

Are these writing worksheets really free?

Yes. Every writing worksheet, answer sheet, study guide and test downloads instantly as a PDF with no sign-up, and you can print as many copies as you need for home, classroom or homeschool use.

Which year levels do you cover?

New Zealand writing resources run from Year 1 to Year 13. Pick a year level above to see every topic for that year level.

Do the English worksheets come with answers?

Yes. Grammar and reading worksheets include answers; writing tasks come with model answers and success criteria so you can give useful feedback.

How should my child use these writing worksheets?

Start on the Level 2 worksheet for a topic they are learning at school. If it's hard, drop to Level 1; if it's easy, try Level 3 or the next year level. Two or three short sessions a week work better than one long one.

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.

How to use these resources

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