DrGoatboy 132 Posted December 13, 2020 Ok so I feel a bit daft. My 7 year old daughter is reading a series of books called "code". Every now and then they have a code to solve at the end. I am rubbish at this sort of thing and I have looked and looked and can't see a pattern. This is not good for me self confidence as I am sure you can understand, but there you go. Can anyone crack the code? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TurnipJF 9192 Posted December 13, 2020 Is it actually a code, or more of a reading exercise? I have seen similar pseudo-words used to test a child's knowledge of phoneme/grapheme correspondence. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MadInventor 3884 Posted December 13, 2020 I was assuming it was simple letter replacement code, so for example kive becomes five, whosk becomes whisk, and then you use the letters you replaced to make a word. But that doesn't seem to work. I've come unstuck with treelt and koopie......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
