Smiley Sight Words

Paper flash cards were okay for my daughter (6) but didn't inspire her to learn her words. We found this app we both love it. I can create custom lists based on the word lists her teacher sends home. I also liked that I could consolidate just the words she needed to learn. She likes earning "thumbs up" and "wings" after she gets it right three times in a row. It's not an app that a kid should do alone since they have the ability to mark thumbs up or down themselves but I would definitely recommend for kids who maybe don't learn as well with old-school paper things.

Great, simple app that can be used anytime and anywhere to review sight words. It keeps up with your progress and automatically advances to the next level of learning.

I've tried other sight word Apps and this is my favorite. I love that it comes equipped with Fry's word list as well as many others including the alphabet (separate uppercase/lowercase list), numbers (including spelling in separate list), family, shapes, and days of the week. I really like that I can customize my own lists. My kids learn 5 words at a time. I make my lists in the order they are being learned and include previously learned words for review. I got more than my money's worth with this app!

I am a special education teacher and how amazing this app is to monitor progress in a short period of time! The only problem I have is there isn't a date stamp so I can record progress time and date. I have been taking a picture of progress screen and emailing it to gen Ed teacher but I would love it if I could record date directly from the app.

This is a great app! I love that you simply press the thumbs up or thumbs down. I hope they come up with math flash cards that you do not have to choose an answer or write an answer..just like the sight words one :).

This was my very first app purchase and I have never regretted buying it!! It is an awesome app!! Highly recommend!!

This sight word app is great, very useful. Especially I like the app because I can see the progress of my children by thumps up or down. There are only 2 things which will make me give 5 stars 1-if I can put the sight word that this does not have; 2-if I can name the custom list.

I would give this five stars immediately if not for the following.... 1. I want to be able to choose the icon for a missed word. Some kids don't mind the sad face and others are defeated after the first time you touch the sad face and cry. I want to pick from a list of generic icons and code the missed responses myself. They accept their mistakes more readily when they don't see a huge sad face when they make a mistake. 2. Sometimes I want to go through all missed words at once without having to go to each different set to find them. I want a master list of missed words that includes all from each set for each child. If this is already possible, please point it out to me. Fix the above and I will recommend this to everyone I know!

My son is now so much more confident!! He has moved Head and Shoulders above his classmates .... From a previous place of struggle!

My 1st grader loved it. Saves me the time of making flash cards. Found out the teach was using the exact same program.
