Vowel practice
Allows users to practice vowel sounds, and to focus on specific vowel sounds or patterns.
Practice modes
Four ways to study spelling next to your learner, each with its own setup screen, audio where it helps, and practice history so you can review what happened in the round.
Below: the settings you will see before each round (including Drill vs Learn), then what to expect from vowel, syllable, jumble, and flashcard modes.
Settings
- Question count sets how many questions are asked in a round.
- Language allows you to toggle between English and Spanish words.
- Spelling test (if available) ties a session to a teacher-assigned list, or you can pull from your personal vocabulary lists.
- Difficulty (easy, medium, hard) adjusts difficulty in modes that support it — vowels, syllables, and jumbles.
- Selections persist between sessions so you can easily continue where you left off.
Modes: Drill vs Learn
Drill
Randomly selects words from the whole word pool you have set up, so each round surfaces new words to discover and mixes in ones that have been seen before for review.
Learn
Uses spaced repetition to practice words that are still challenging before introducing new words.
Syllable practice
(Spanish only) Allows practicing words with 2 or 3 syllables. Users select the appropriate syllables in order.
Allows difficulty settings to adjust the number of options to choose from, and to focus on vowel sounds.
Jumble practice
Users choose from a list of letters to unscramble the target word.
Allows difficulty settings to adjust the number of letters available.
Flashcard practice
Users practice with mom or dad to determine their ability to read the word on the screen. If it's easy, it won't be presented for a while, while words marked difficult will continue to be surfaced.
