Why this works
Little and often is how spelling sticks
English spelling is famously unfair: rules with exceptions, words that sound alike but look different, and letters that stay silent. No child learns that from one weekly test list — words crammed on Thursday are gone by Monday.
BrainBite spreads practice out instead. Words come back just before your child would forget them, in new sentences and new forms. Rules are practiced as patterns, not memorized as lists — and the words your child keeps missing return more often, until they stick for good.

Homophones: small words, big trip-ups
Their, there and they're. Its and it's. Two, to and too. The words spell-check can't save you from, and test writers love. BrainBite practices them in real sentences, so your child learns to pick the right one by meaning — not by luck.

Common spelling mistakes
Four classic trip-ups nearly every child (and let's be honest: every parent) stumbles over.
Their, there or they're?
Depends on the meaning. Their = belonging to them, there = a place, they're = they are. Swap in 'they are' to test it.
Its or it's?
It's = it is. The dog wagged its tail — no apostrophe for belonging. If you can't say 'it is', skip the apostrophe.
Alot or a lot?
A lot. Always two words. Just like 'a little' or 'a few'. 'Alot' isn't a word, however often you see it.
Definately or definitely?
Definitely. Think of the word 'finite' hiding in the middle: de-FINITE-ly.
