How BrightWorld helps with editing and proof-reading
Children practise editing and proof-reading at Easy, Medium or Hard, in mixed quizzes, in the Answer Run game and inside story missions. If they get stuck, they get a hint and a worked example; if they’re flying, the questions get harder. Parents see how they’re doing in the parent area.
