Step 3 - Get unstuck

What happens when they get stuck?

  • Helpful questions
  • Planning and idea support
  • Guides thinking, not copying

Step 4 - Revise clearly

How do they know what to fix?

Feedback highlights the writing, explains the issue in child-friendly language, and gives one focused revision action at a time.

  • Highlighted writing tips
  • Priority issues
  • Guided local fixes

Step 5 - Build the bigger picture

How does one draft become long-term progress?

Each writing task and practice activity contributes to a skills profile, so parents can see strengths, weak spots, and what to practise next.

  • Ability by dimension
  • Bar and radar views
  • Next focus areas

Coins, XP, Buddy items, playful prompts and the shop help children feel that revision and practice are worth returning to.
