FAQ
Are the AI's phonics rules correct?
Common rules (open syllables, closed syllables, vowel combinations) are accurate. Obscure phonics (loanwords, French roots) sometimes gets fabricated rules. Trust high-frequency rules first. For rare words defer to dictionary IPA. Treat the AI's "phonics explanation" as a memory aid.
Does the AI invent stories about word roots and affixes?
Common roots (pre-, trans-, -tion) have accurate etymologies; rare roots often get misattributed or have invented origin stories. When given "this root comes from XXX language" claims, verify with Etymonline or OED. For serious study don't rely on AI's folk etymology.
