Add Three Details

This worksheet is designed for students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 to strengthen their ability to expand vague ideas into clear, effective instructions. Students begin with basic prompts that lack context and practice improving them by adding three meaningful details related to audience, tone, purpose, or limits. Through structured expansion, learners build skills in elaboration, clarity, and precise language while gaining insight into how specificity leads to stronger communication and more accurate AI responses.
