What the questions look like
Three examples at the ages 9–10 level. In BrainBite, every question comes with an instant explanation.
Your text jumps between topics. What helps?
A new paragraph per topic. One paragraph, one idea. White space is a gift to your reader.
Before writing a story, what comes first?
A three-word plan. Beginning, middle, end. Three notes beat a blank page every time.
What's missing from this sentence? Lets go, said Tom.
Quotation marks and an apostrophe. “Let’s go,” said Tom. Quotation marks show exactly who speaks, and the closing mark goes after the comma that was already there. Let’s needs an apostrophe because it is short for let us.
