Fun Sight Words

The word trace section you do not trace words but match letters. The spelling section does not tell you what letters are not correct. You want to shut off the voice for the game because it is so bad but then you would not be able to use.

There is no sound. Please fix and then I'll rate again.

There is no sound on my game, so it is impossible to "find" all the words on level 3. You just have to take a guess at what word they want you to find. Don't buy, waste of money!

I am a reading specialist and thought this app would be great. I like how you can pick your own words from the word list and I like the format of the games. Unfortunately, there is one HUGE problem with this app and it would confuse my students to use this app based on that problem. I teach "sight" words as "trick words" that are phonetically irregular (in other words, they can not be sounded out). I teach my students NOT to sound out these words, as do all ten of the phonics based curricula that my school uses. This app gives the sound of the letters as you are spelling the words….for example with the word to, when you select the t it makes the sound /t/ and when you select the o it makes the short vowel sound of /o/ (as in the o in octopus)….those two sounds do NOT make the word to. Blending /t/ with the short vowel /o/ would make the word taw (rhyme with saw). This app would be wonderful except for this one flaw. But this flaw is big enough that it would go against everything we teach young readers about sight words, sounds, and blending.

The app has 400 words. First time I used it, I'm finding words missing that my kindergartner and 1st grader are working on. "Laugh" as an example. I like the fact that you can focus on words that you want to do, but the app needs improvement on the way you select your wordlist. The way it is now, you have to go through a painful process of flipping through four separate lists, very frustrating. Recommend a word search feature or if that is too hard, start with one long list in alphabetical order. Also there should be a way to choose how many cycle to go through. Appears the app is going through wordlist randomly which is frustrating to kids that have to do a word they just did. App could go through one by one, and repeat words that were troublesome.

Please help no sound would receive a 5 star if had sound

Great app for practicing sight words. I use it with my Kindergarten class and my little grandchildren. Love the art work. Excellent word lists, and love being able to select the words I want to focus on.

This would be a five star except for the terrible voice talent used. Please add an option for a different voice. Nice choice of sight words for kindergarten.
