What your child practices at ages 7–8

  • Longer and trickier words
  • Reading aloud with expression
  • Periods, commas and question marks

  • Silent reading for fun
  • Understanding what you just read

What the questions look like

Three examples at the ages 7–8 level. In BrainBite, every question comes with an instant explanation.

How do you crack the word ‘fantastic’?

Chunk it: fan-tas-tic. Long words are just short chunks holding hands.

“Are you coming?” How do you read it aloud?

With a question voice. The question mark tells your voice to go up. Punctuation is stage direction.

You finish a page. Quick check:

What just happened? One question after each page turns decoding into understanding.
