What the questions look like
Three examples at the ages 5–6 level. In BrainBite, every question comes with an instant explanation.
Which word rhymes with ‘cake’?
Snake. Rhyming ears come before reading eyes. Hearing sound patterns is step one.
What sound does the s make?
Sss, like a snake. Letter sounds, not letter names: sss (not ‘ess’) is what you need for blending.
m… a… p… What word is that?
Map. Blending sounds into a word — the moment reading truly begins.
