A prompt, and a page to fill
One prompt and enough lines to answer it properly. A writing page with a blank lower third quietly asks for a shorter piece than the child is capable of, so the rules run to the bottom.
- Prompts are written, not generated by a language model
- Helper words on the gentler settings, for a child who stalls
- Ruled lines to the bottom of the sheet
- A different prompt on every page of a multi-page pack

What’s on the sheet
- One prompt at the top and ruled lines running to the bottom of the page
- Helper words in a bank on the gentler settings
- A different prompt on every page of a multi-page pack
- Primary rules or single lines, matched to the grade
What each difficulty means
Difficulty is a real change to the numbers or the layout, not a label.
Gentle start
A sentence to finish, with helper words in a bank.
Just right
An open prompt, with helper words.
Extra challenge
An open prompt, no helper words, and more lines.
Grades this covers
Tap a grade you can use for a page of everything a child that age can practise here.
A blank lower third asks for a shorter piece
Children write to the end of the lines and stop. If a writing sheet has a picture box taking half the page and eight lines underneath, you will get eight lines of writing, from a child capable of twenty.
The rules on these pages run to the bottom of the sheet for that reason. It is the cheapest possible intervention on the length of a child's writing, and it works reliably.
Helper words are for the child who stalls
Some children stare at a prompt for ten minutes because they cannot think of a single word to start with, and that is a starting problem rather than a writing problem. A small bank of relevant words at the top solves it without writing the piece for them.
The hardest setting removes the bank entirely, which is the right place to end up by Grade 4 or 5.
Questions
Are the prompts written by AI?
No. Every prompt is fixed text. This tool reserves AI for content behind a safety review that has not been built yet, and a child's writing prompt is not worth getting wrong.
Can I get several different prompts?
Yes — ask for more pages and each one gets a different prompt from the set for that difficulty.
