What the questions look like

Three examples at the ages 6–7 level. In BrainBite, every question comes with an instant explanation.

Which word can't you sound out letter by letter?

Said. S-a-i-d doesn't play fair. Sight words are learned by sight, not by sounding out.

What sound do s and h make together?

Sh, like ‘ship’. Two letters, one sound: sh, ch, th. Spotting the pairs unlocks hundreds of words.

“The cat sat on the mat.” How many words?

Six. Seeing where words start and stop makes sentences readable.
