To hear a word decoded or sounded-out, tap on the word. Word elements are highlighted in different colours to indicate letter sounds, digraphs, silent letters and sight words.
| Blue | Basic letter sounds |
| Green | Double letters and "ck" |
| Yellow | Extra letter sounds and digraphs |
| Red | Silent letters |
| Orange | Sight words |
Basic letter sounds: such as c, a, and t in the word cat.
Double letters and ck: such as ll in hill and ck in luck. Double letters and ck make their basic letter sound – although there are two letters, we only say the sound once.
Extra letter sounds : such as y in my and a in mask. Extra letter sounds are common ways that a letter makes a sound other than its basic sound.
Digraphs: such as sh in shop and ing in swing. Digraphs are groups of two or more letters that, when combined, make a new sound – not the letters’ basic sounds.
Silent letters: such as e in give and t in listen. Silent letters do not make a sound in the word.
Sight words: such as eye and two. Sight words are words that do not follow a common spelling convention and should be memorised.
