Frequently asked questions
Is the split right?
Lexikit splits words according to the rules of their language, and you correct each split in the word's window. The final silent e is counted or not, as you choose.
Can we clap without showing the word?
Yes: set “Split word at the end” to “No”. Only the beats appear, for children who cannot read yet.
