See the learning in action
One whole adventure, Oli and Ru and the Lost Lanterns of Bramblewick, for one school year, question by question: what each question practises, a good answer, other answers that are accepted, and exactly how the answer is marked. Then the same moment at Year 3 and Year 6, and an example of the reading report a child sees at the end.
Each question’s reading skill is mapped to the KS2 reading content domains (STA test framework), our own mapping. Answers are checked by simple word-matching rules in the browser, not by a person and not by AI. The rules can turn down an unusual answer that is right, and a child can sometimes pass by guessing the right words, so please use your own judgement. How answers are judged

How every answer is marked
- Easy
- The answer needs one of the accepted ideas. A sentence starter is offered, and it never gives the answer away.
- Medium
- The answer needs an idea from each group shown. Inference and summarising answers need a reason or a second detail; a half-answer gets a prompt to add more.
- Hard
- As Medium, and where the evidence rule applies the answer must also include a detail taken from the passage.
- Evidence rule
- Always
- Words copied from the question do not count. Close spellings are accepted. A wrong answer gets a clue from the guide, never the answer.
