What the questions look like
Three examples at the ages 8–9 level. In BrainBite, every question comes with an instant explanation.
'The enormous dog blocked the path.' Enormous means …
Very big. Context helps: a dog blocking a whole path must be very big.
'In the park' answers which question?
Where. Who = a person, what = a thing, where = a place.
'Tom grabbed his umbrella.' What's the weather probably like?
Rainy. The text doesn't say it, but the umbrella does. That's your first inference.
