Great questions! - When a child makes a mistake or needs help we take the child through a phonics decoding exercise (scaffolded 'sounding it out'.) Right now we support reading practice rather than provide full systematic instruction - i.e. we don't replace the rigorous, structured program a child should get in school. However, we are working right now on building out our own scope and sequence and detailed phonics instruction and hope to add that soon. - This one is beyond me and I don't want to pretend to be the expert here. That's Elizabeth and Lauren. Let's definitely connect and I'll get an answer from them. - Our speech recognition system does an OK job at the phoneme level. We are releasing an updated model that will go hand in hand with the scope and sequence that should be the best there is and be great at the phoneme level.

Would love to connect. My email is my first name at our company url!
