What it is

A word-loving quiz show. Every grade from Preschool to Grade 8 has twenty quizzes of eight questions: ten topics such as rhymes, letter sounds, sight words, word families, parts of speech, punctuation, spelling, synonyms, prefixes and roots, figurative language and tiny reading passages, then mix-up and challenge rounds. Pre-readers answer with pictures and hear every question; older readers fix sentences, find the main idea and tell fact from opinion. After each answer Olly explains the rule in a sentence or two.

What children learn

Reading foundations and language from Preschool to Grade 8: concepts of print, rhymes and syllables, letter sounds, word families, sight words, vowel patterns, blends and digraphs; parts of speech, capitals and punctuation, spelling rules, synonyms and antonyms, prefixes, suffixes and Greek and Latin roots, context clues and figurative language; and reading short original passages for sequence, main idea, fact and opinion, point of view, theme and argument.
