&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Practice UI now defaults to one session a day, with parental override for more sessions.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Phonetically coherent misspellings (&amp;quot;fone&amp;quot; for &amp;quot;phone&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;necst&amp;quot; for &amp;quot;next&amp;quot;) are now graded / evaluated more holistically. Grapheme-replacement on the misspelled piece is explicitly guided, but the correct phonetic match is acknowledged.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Added a mini-lesson, &lt;a href=&quot;https://letterspractice.com/curriculum/lesson/bed&quot;&gt;Making our bed&lt;/a&gt;, which uses the word &lt;em&gt;bed&lt;/em&gt; as a mnemonic to distinguish &lt;code&gt;b&lt;/code&gt; &lt;code&gt;d&lt;/code&gt; symmetry. Runs ahead of introduction of letter &lt;code&gt;b&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tweaks to the scheduler&amp;#39;s response to mistakes. Previously the mistaken item was over-practiced in the short term. Updated response is more measured and sustained. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Grouped end-of-session practiced-items.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The printable fridge sheet has &lt;a href=&quot;https://letterspractice.com/fridge&quot;&gt;its own page&lt;/a&gt;, with both PDF versions and fuller guidance for children and grown-ups.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
