While learning phonics is an important skill for beginning readers, sight words is another. Why learn words by sight? Simply put, there are some words (also called high frequency words) that appear so frequently in reading that we want our readers to know them automatically, by sight. Just the first 100 words of Fry’s word list make up nearly 50% of what we read. Wow! Knowing these words automatically helps to increase fluency, which can also build comprehension and understanding. Sight Word Lists The two most commonly used word lists for sight words are the Dolch word lists and Fry’s word lists. This Reading Mama has combined the two lists. They can be printed off for free on her blog (see link below).

Works great!
For those complaining about no sound. Either they fixed the bug or your phone was on vibrate. Make sure your phone volume is on and it works great! This has been great as extra practice for my kindergartener who struggles with sight words. I love that we can customize his list of words each time he has a new list come home from school.
Horrible!
I loved the idea of being able to customize a word list. However, it is COMPLETELY USELESS without sound. The sound worked on one occasion and now won’t work on any of my devices. There’s absolutely no way to contact anyone for support with this issue. Such a waste of money!
No sound
There is no sound on the app. I purchased this app and another one of your apps after getting an email saying they were $0.99 through today, March 29. Neither have sound and they were not the price advertised. I would like a refund, please.
Disappointed
I was really excited about this app. It worked well for a couple days and then the sound stopped working. Every other app on my phone is working with sound so it’s definitely just the app. I even tried deleting and reloading. I’m having trouble finding any support other than a redirect to the personal blog.
No Sound-No Support
Just purchased this app, but the sound doesn’t work. And, yes, the audio on my phone is on and working. No way to contact developer or trouble shoot issue. Additionally, the app is difficult to navigate; it’s just poorly designed. Unfortunately, because the audio doesn’t work I can’t give any insights as to the efficacy of the learning exercises or games. I’d like my money back.
👍
I like that you can customize the sight word list for the specific words my daughter needs to practice.
Great game!
I love that I can pick the words they study!! And they love playing the games!
