How to answer the questions

For the grown-up to read once, then hand the phone over.

Every set has eight parts, lettered A to H, and about eighty questions in total. Nobody is meant to do all of it in one sitting. One or two parts an evening is plenty, and the app remembers where your child stopped.

1

The row of numbers is the whole part

Along the top sits a number for each question. It stays on screen while your child answers, so there is no scrolling up and down to see where they are. Tapping any number jumps straight to that question.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 QUESTION 5 OF 12
  • ✔Green — answered correctly.
  • ✘Red — answered, but not right yet. It can be changed at any time.
  •  Grey — not answered yet. The ringed one is where your child is now.

Answering, and seeing straight away

In dictation, tap Hear the word and type what you hear. As soon as the spelling is right the box turns green with a tick. If it is wrong, nothing happens until your child moves on — so they are never told they are wrong halfway through a word.

Underneath sit What does it mean? and Peek for 3 seconds, which flashes the word up briefly. Peek is there for a stuck child; three seconds is long enough to read a word but too short to copy it letter by letter.

Finish the part, then choose the next

After the last question tap Check my answers. A score appears, with stars, and confetti and a little tune if your child got three quarters of them right. From there tap Next: Part B to carry straight on, Try Part A again to redo it, or All parts to pick a different one.

Things parents ask

Can they stop halfway? Yes. Close the app whenever you like. Next time the home screen offers Carry on where you stopped and picks up at the right part.

Can a wrong answer be changed? Yes, any time before tapping Check my answers. Tap the number and try again.

What if they get a low score? The set can be redone as often as you like, and the best score is the one kept.

How long should a sitting be? One or two parts. Around ten minutes is about right for a young child, and stopping while it is still fun is better than pushing on.
