About these lessons
By grade 3 most children can write a simple sentence; the next step is to make it richer. These lessons show them how to join two ideas with and, but, because and so, how to add a describing word in the right place, and how to turn a statement into a question that ends with a question mark.
Towards grade 4 the lessons move into the past: what happened at the zoo, who lost a shoe on the school trip, why the picnic stopped when it rained. Children learn to use the past simple, put commas in a list and tell three events in order, which is the heart of every school story task.
Every answer is checked the moment your child presses Check, and the note always says what to do next rather than just “wrong”. A short session of ten minutes after school works well. Teachers can assign a lesson to a whole class and see who has finished it.
