Prompting for AI - Prompting is how you ask questions to get the response you are seeking.  A good prompt will give you the best result but you can always re-ask the prompt to get a better result!

• IMPORTANT - Specifying English skill levels for use in prompts - It is necesssary to specify the English skill level you desire and that your Learner is capable of when creating a prompt.  You can specify the skill level in one of several ways:

  1. By primary or secondary school level, e.g., first grade, third grade, etc., 

  2. By National Reporting System (NRS) Educational Functional Levels (used by Literacy Delaware).  Click here to see a listing of those levels.

  3. By The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).  The linked article provides a detailed explanation of each level

  4. By Common Core skill levels used by schools in the US.
