Look at the indicated answer together and listen to the replay. Try completing one calm session before repeatedly testing the same question to chase a perfect score.

Consider whether there was only one choice or a parent supplied the answer. Those responses differ from independently identifying a sound.

Focus on missed sounds

In the parent area, select sounds with recorded first-answer mistakes to start ten-question focus practice. Only selected sounds become targets; the other sounds in the current practice remain as choices.

The check results also offer practice for that check’s missed sounds. If you check again immediately, remember that hearing those sounds just beforehand may help your answers.

03

Take a break when needed

Check volume, background noise, tiredness and whether the controls are difficult. Stop, even mid-session, if your child wants to finish. There is no need to continue for a streak.

If adding sounds made practice too difficult, a parent can return to an earlier stage or remove the most recently added chord. Existing records and calendar entries remain.
