Check understanding
- Organise an explanatory essay with a clear introduction, logical body paragraphs, and a conclusion
- Develop a topic using well-chosen facts, definitions, concrete details, and quotations from sources
- Use domain-specific vocabulary and formatting (headings, graphics) to aid the reader's comprehension
“Can your child write a clear explanation of how something works — like how a volcano erupts or how bread is made — so that someone who's never learned about it would understand?”
