Full-sentence answers
On questions like Q6 and Q10, the child identified the right feelings and ideas but wrote fragmented phrases instead of complete answers.
Sample parent report
See what your child can fix with guided thinking
In this sample report, the child got 0 out of 10 questions correct on the first attempt, then resolved 8 through guided practice. The report shows where the child found evidence, where answers were incomplete, and what to practise next.
The report at a glance
One session, turned into a clear picture
Not a polished, perfect-score report. You see what your child could do alone, what guided prompts unlocked, and exactly what to practise next.
What the report tells the parent
This was not a case of not understanding the passage. The child showed persistence and often found the right evidence. The main gap was answer construction: combining ideas into full sentences, answering every part of multi-step questions, and explaining motives in their own words.

Pebbles earned
First-attempt accuracy is diagnostic: what your child can do alone. Resolved with guidance shows where prompts helped them work through the answer instead of being handed it.
Strengths in this session
- Located text evidence well
- Kept trying on difficult questions
- Understood the story details
What to practise next
- Turn bullet points into full sentences
- Answer every part of multi-step questions
- Explain "why" answers in own words

Read the score correctly
Why 0 out of 10 first try is not the whole story
A plain score would make this session look like failure. The report shows something more useful: the child kept trying, responded to prompts, corrected several answers, and revealed a specific writing gap. For a parent, that is the difference between "my child is weak in comprehension" and "my child needs to practise forming complete, evidence-based answers." It is the same idea behind making the thinking visible instead of handing over answers.
Skill diagnosis
The real gap: good evidence, incomplete answers
The report grouped the misses into three clear patterns, each tied to the exact questions where it showed up.
Multi-part questions
On Q2 and Q7, the child missed cells in table questions or left out parts of the task, showing the need to check every blank and every part.
Explaining motives fully
On Q5, the child copied text from the passage instead of explaining the meaning in their own words. See how marking works.
From the full session report
From "loss" to a full answer
The full session report shows each question with your child's answer beside the model answer, and View Session shows the guided conversation from that attempt. Here is Q6, an inference-about-feelings question.

How did the character most likely feel at that moment, and how do you know?
Gloomy.
HintClose. Look again at what he says, then at what he does straight after. What does that change tell you about how he feels? Show how the text proves it.
He felt sad because of what he said, and then he stopped.
HintGood, that is the right idea. Now join it into one complete sentence with the feeling and the evidence connected clearly.
- The idea was rightThe child reached the correct feeling and pointed to the right evidence in the passage.
- The gap was answer constructionFragments, not one complete sentence linking the feeling to the evidence. That is the skill to practise, not the reading.
- Model answer beside their answerThe report shows a complete model answer next to your child's, naming the feeling and linking it to the evidence in one sentence. You see exactly what a full answer adds.

Explain in own wordsUse Q5 to practise explaining "why" answers instead of copying from the passage.
How parents can help at home
Ask your child to read each answer aloud before moving on. If it sounds like a fragment, help them turn it into one complete thought, then check the marks and ask, "Have you answered every part?"
- Write one complete sentencePractise answering the whole question in a single, full sentence.
- Read the answer aloudCheck whether it sounds like a complete thought before finishing.
- Check against the marksMake sure every required part of a multi-step question is covered.
- Support, do not supplyPrompt with questions rather than giving the answer, the way the guided session does.

Questions about the report
Parent report, explained
It is the diagnostic view: what your child answered correctly before any guidance. In this sample it was 0 out of 10, which is not a failure headline. It simply shows the starting point and where your child needs help.
It means your child reached a correct or complete answer after guided prompts, rather than on the first try. In this sample, 8 of 10 questions were resolved with guidance, which shows how your child responds to support.
Because the value is not the first score. The report shows how your child responded to guidance, which answers they corrected, and the specific gap to practise. Here the child could often find the evidence but needed help turning it into complete answers.
Yes. Open View Session to read the guided conversation from that attempt, so you can see exactly where the thinking broke down and how it was rebuilt. The full session report shows each question with your child's answer beside the model answer.
Focus home practice on the "what to practise next" list. For this child that means writing complete-sentence answers, checking every part of multi-step questions, and explaining "why" answers in their own words.
