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.

How to use these resources

  1. Do one grammar worksheet, then find the same feature in a book you're reading.
  2. Use the quiz at the end of a year level to check what's stuck.
  3. Apply the skill: edit a piece of your own writing for that feature.
