Build confidence in reading and writing

Walnut helps children develop the core English skills they need to succeed at every stage of their learning journey.
Using adaptive AI, it provides structured guidance, instant feedback, and personalised practice that supports real progress — not shortcuts.

Whether your child is mastering spelling and grammar at Key Stage 2 or preparing for GCSE essays, Walnut makes English learning calm, clear, and confidence-building.

🧩 How Walnut supports English learning

Walnut isn’t a tutor that gives answers. It’s a study companion that guides thinking, offers feedback, and adapts support as confidence grows.

Learners can practise writing, explore literature, or strengthen reading comprehension — while Walnut adjusts questions, explanations, and prompts to match their current level.

✏️ Key Stage 3 — Expanding creativity and precision

Focus areas:

• Writing: SPaG, descriptive and narrative writing, persuasive techniques, and structured paragraphs.
• Reading: comprehension, interpretation, and analysis of texts.

Walnut supports students through exercises aligned with simplified AQA English Language Section B mark schemes, helping them practise with purpose.

It can also assist with common KS3 texts — from The Tempest to A Christmas Carol — using guided questioning to strengthen understanding and analytical thinking.

🎭 Key Stage 4 (GCSE) — Sharpening skills for exams

Focus areas:

• Writing: descriptive, narrative, and persuasive writing with feedback mapped to official AQA mark schemes.
• Reading: targeted comprehension tasks for students who need to raise their reading age to access GCSE materials confidently.
• Literature: support for set texts and essay writing skills, aligned with AQA English Literature criteria.

Walnut helps learners plan, draft, and refine essays using an I do → we do → you do approach.
The assistant models strong responses, prompts deeper thinking, and gradually removes scaffolding as independence grows.

🧠 What makes Walnut different
