How the demo works in three steps and about 15 minutes

You can skip any step and explore freely.

  1. 1. Try a short preview check

    A few quick word and passage tasks pick a starting point. Families take the full Reading Growth Check: 16 short word and passage tasks.

  2. 2. Do one 15-minute session

    Warm-up sound and syllable drills, then read the passage aloud with the decoding tools, then answer the questions.

  3. 3. See what a parent sees

    Switch to the parent view for words read, reading speed, comprehension, skills shown and growth over time.

Practice on my own
Nothing here is scored. Read, listen, reread, and answer the questions.

Today's skill target: Short vowels in closed syllables

Welcome, Mia. Today you will work on Short vowels in closed syllables. It takes about 15 minutes and starts with a quick word work warm-up.

Break down today's sound and spelling patterns. Stuck on one? Tap I need help for another way in.

Warm-up Decoding

Vowel team: ee / ea

ee
ea
1 of 3 路 letter-sounds

Tap every word with the vowel-team sound ee / ea. Leave the others alone.

Blend: fl / spl / str

fl
spl
str
1 of 3 路 letter-sounds

Tap every word with the blend fl / spl / str. Leave the others alone.

Silent letters: kn / mb

kn
mb
1 of 3 路 letter-sounds

Tap every word with a silent letter in kn / mb. Leave the others alone.

Finish the 3 word work sets first, or use "I need help" in a set to move on. Decoding comes before fluency.
