Patana Storysmith: Levelled Literacy Tool
The Patana Storysmith is a specialized AI authoring tool designed for the British International School context, spanning Foundation Stage through Year 6. It streamlines the creation of model texts by balancing narrative quality with specific National Curriculum and IPC objectives.
Key Capabilities
Levelled Literacy: Calibrates sentence structures and vocabulary to meet KS1/KS2 milestones, including statutory spellings and ambitious grammar.
EAL & SEND Support: Integrates scaffolding, repetitive structures, and visual descriptions to support diverse learners.
Bangkok Context: Incorporates local Thai elements and international school life to increase student engagement.
Curriculum Integration: Aligns with IPC themes (e.g., Active Planet) and Talk for Writing genres.
Operational Workflow
The tool follows a "Context First" protocol, requiring teachers to define the Year Group, Learning Focus, and Genre before generation. This ensures the output is pedagogically sound and ready for immediate use.
Teacher’s Toolbox
Every generated story includes:
Power Words: Five key vocabulary terms for direct instruction.
Guided Reading Questions: Three questions covering literal, inferential, and evaluative comprehension.
Instant Differentiation: Options to simplify for EAL or increase complexity for Greater Depth.
