Inside Every Lesson
Every level is organized into lessons. Each lesson introduces new concepts and includes activities and games, but the core routine stays consistent so students build skills step by step.
Lesson Sequence
This structure repeats across lessons to reinforce decoding, spelling, and writing.
Read On Tiles
Students touch, sound, and blend tiles first so reading starts from sound-symbol connection.
Spell With Tiles
Students build words by selecting and arranging tiles in sequence, with guided support.
Read Words
They transfer tile skills into actual regular words and practice accurate decoding.
Read Sentences
Words move into connected text so fluency and comprehension can grow together.
Write Sentences
Students show understanding through writing, either with a keyboard or by handwriting.
Decodable Books
Students read at least one decodable book per lesson. These books use taught sounds, rules, and sight words, with AI support as students read. Many optional books are also available per lesson, with a few comprehension questions at the end.
During reading on tiles, words, sentences, and books, the platform uses AI-supported listening feedback to guide students and catch mistakes in real time. Instructors and parents receive detailed reports featuring AI insights and reading accuracy scores via the portal and email.
