phonicsandstuff.com developer | svelte / sveltekit | knows more about phonics than any web developer should
As a self-taught developer I love having my tooling teach me proper standards for HTML and accessibility (Thanks Svelte). But the next step is for my linter to fix the obvious cases for me, e.g. generally no self-closing tags.

What were the rough edges you encountered? I'm looking at options too.

When do you think it'll be released?

I haven't implemented skeletons, but do want to. I think it is better than my hardcoded values.

Interesting! The cement bar does seem to lock up at 57.

Is there an example of this somewhere?

I need items to clone when dragging. Make a copy of the item and add it to a new list/drop area.

Yes, English is so broken. If you'd like to have your kid explore why the words are different, we have a word mapper. We've broken down the words into their spellings and sounds.

Word Mapper - Phonics & Stuff
The word mapper lets you type in a word and see its individual letters and sounds. It's great for teaching phonics!

Making a word puzzle game, but instead of letters you get morphemes (parts of words).

Anything that makes handling authentication easier is always appreciated. So many foot guns to leak data or give inappropriate access.

Now he can hijack your feed just by putting Svelte anywhere in a post... We must be wary of giving such power.

Nothing special, just a Word document flipped upside down (or using two-sided reverse printing).

The 'reading the pictures' is a big problem in reading instruction. There are a bunch of popular reading programs that take this approach. They encourage kids to look at the picture or guess based on the first letter of a word. Studies have shown they're detrimental to learning to read.

That's why the picture is on the back. It's there so they can practice reading the word and then check the back to see if they got it right. It also helps teach the meaning of words they may not know.

It's fun to watch kids discover the written world. It's like putting on magic glasses that let you see the world differently.

Although, I had to stop having subtitles on some of the shows I watched with headphones on once my kids could read...

What did you write this in?

Just a flash card that's printed upside down. So you can tape it to the wall and when you flip it up, it shows the answer correctly.
