Hi Chrissi15,
Since KL's post, the Word Split section has remained as is in both US and UK English curricula. We have released curriculum updates for the past few months, but those updates only included fixes for bugs that have been reported (like missing media files, mixed up pictures, video playback errors, misspelled words, etc.).
I believe you ended up getting Little Reader Basic, which includes full access to the software's PRO features, so you are free to edit/remove any part of your lessons that you do not want to use.
Before you show the day's lesson to your son, we suggest that you preview the lesson first. You can do this from PLAY & EDIT > Courses - just select the Semester you are in from the "Display" dropdown option and choose the "Day" folder you want to check. When you select/highlight a specific lesson section and word, you can preview the media files attached to the word from the right side of the screen (you don't have to play the entire lesson).
If you find anything that you don't like in the scheduled Word Split lesson, you can edit the word by double-clicking on that word to replace the "split" recordings or to remove a specific audio that doesn't sound right.
To edit the word split recordings:1. In the Edit Word window, go to the "Word Slide" tab.
2. In the "Pronunciation audio file(s)" section (lower left part of the window), select the "Split audio" sub-tab.
3. From the list of available "split" recordings, choose the one you want to remove, then press Delete on your keyboard.
4. To add your own recording, press the "Add" button (if you already have recordings saved in your computer), or the "Rec New" button (to create a recording using the built-in Easy Voice Recorder tool).
**For detailed instructions on how to record and add your own split recordings, see:
http://support.brillkids.com/hc/en-us/articles/2045963345. Once you're done with all the changes you want, press Save.
OR you may choose to just skip the Word Split section when you play the lesson.If you like, you can edit your lessons to remove the Word Split section from the entire curriculum. This way you don't need to manually skip playing that part while playing the lesson for your son.
To remove the Word Split section from your curriculum:1. Go to PLAY & EDIT > Courses and select the Semester you want to edit from the "Display" dropdown option.
2. Press the EDIT button (located just below the "Display" option).
3. Go to the "Session 1" tab.
4. Select the "Word Split" sub-tab (from the left side) then click the little down arrow button and choose Delete (please refer to attached screenshot).
5. Go to the "Session 2" tab and repeat step 4.
6. When you're done with your changes, press SAVE, then close the window. When asked if you "want to generate lessons now," choose YES.
We hope this helps!
