Everyone else marks the essay. We write the next one with them.
A mark tells your child their ending trailed off. It doesn't help them write a better one. CoWriter sits beside them while they do — a real exam prompt, a paragraph at a time, one fix at each step, and a mark on both drafts so the rewriting turns into a number they can see.
What your child thinks is happening
A genie is building a world out of their words — and the vague ones build nothing at all. That is the lesson, and it teaches itself.
Vague words build nothing. Name something real — rain, a key, a dog — and watch.
Nothing typed here is sent anywhere — the scene is drawn in your browser. In the real thing, Genie also reads what your child writes and gives them one thing to fix per paragraph, then marks both drafts so they can see what the rewriting was worth.
A session, start to finish
About fifteen minutes. The help is designed to be taken away — the last stage is twenty-five minutes, timed, with nobody helping, which is the paper they sit.
Two minutes of planning
What happens, what your character wants, and — the one that saves them — how it ends. Deciding the ending first is what stops a child running out of time in the real exam.
One paragraph at a time
A real ASET-style prompt, written in parts. Genie draws the world out of the concrete words they use, so vivid writing has an immediate, visible payoff.
One thing to fix — never twelve
After each paragraph they get a single, specific thing to change. A ten-year-old cannot act on a page of corrections; they can act on one, and then do it again.
Both drafts are marked
The first draft and the final one, on the same official criteria. The gain is the headline, because the point being taught is that rewriting is worth something.
Feedback your child can actually do something with
Every marked piece of writing in WA GATE Prep can be reopened in CoWriter — the same essay, already in the pad, with the marker's advice beside it. They work through it a part at a time and it is marked again at the end, so the two scores sit side by side. It costs no attempt, and the original mark does not move.
