Narrative
Student draft

Once there was a big brown dog called Rusty. He lived in a shed at the back of the garden. One day the gate was left open and Rusty ran out.

What’s working

★You named your character straight away, so we know who the story is about.

★The words big and brown help us picture Rusty before anything happens.

★Your three sentences happen in order, so the story is easy to follow.

What to improve

✦We know what Rusty did, but not how he felt. Add one word that tells us what he was feeling when he ran out.

What a good one looks like

“Our cat Pepper waited by the door every morning. One day my brother forgot to shut it and she slipped outside. Pepper felt excited and a little bit scared.”

01Reading comprehension strategies
02Writing complete sentences and paragraphs
03Narrative writing basics
04Spelling patterns and rules
05Grammar and punctuation foundations

Your child picks their state at signup, and every explanation follows their own board: NESA, VCAA, QCAA, SCSA, SACE, TASC, BSSS or TDT.

How it works

It asks before it answers.

This is a real Year 3 moment: a blank page and no idea how to start. SubjectMate could write an opening line. It does not, because the child who finds their own first sentence writes the next one too.

  • Hints escalate if they stay stuck
  • Never leaves them stranded

I have to write a story but I don't know how to start it
Every writer feels that, so you are in good company. Before we touch the first sentence, tell me one thing: who is your story about, and what do they want more than anything?
SubjectMate always asks your child to think first before explaining. This is what builds real understanding rather than just completed homework.
Why parents choose it

Writing stops being the hard part.

They work it out themselves

Built by an Australian teacher to guide rather than hand over answers, because that is the difference between finishing homework and learning.

There at 8pm on a Tuesday

Homework help the moment it is needed, and revision before a test. SubjectMate never cancels and is never fully booked.

Follows their actual syllabus

Your child selects their state at signup and every explanation matches the curriculum their own school is teaching this term.

The average private tutor in Australia charges $80 to $120 per hour. SubjectMate is $39 a month, with no limit on sessions and no booking required.

Parent reviews

What Year 3 and 4 families tell us.

Year 3 Maths

“We used to have a meltdown every time maths homework came out. Now he actually opens SubjectMate himself. The homework has not changed, his attitude to it completely has.”

Karen M.Parent, Melbourne VIC
Year 4 English

“Reading comprehension was his weak spot. He would read the passage and just guess. SubjectMate taught him to go back to the text and look for evidence. His teacher mentioned the improvement at the next interview.”

James O.Parent, Sydney NSW
