Description
You can find lots of sight word apps, Sight Word Games stands out because you can choose the sight words your learner works on! You can share with any device as well.
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).

Ratings and Reviews
Disappointed
I was excited to find a sight word app that allowed me to choose the words to work on, but after purchasing and playing the games with my daughter I realized that it wasn’t suitable for her. She struggles with spelling sight words in the correct order. A few of the games, such as the hangman game, praises her for getting the letters right even when it is in the wrong order. Further, I thought the last game, the sling shot game, was too hard for my 6 year old. It involved trying to hit moving targets with letters on them to spell the word. It was actually pretty hard to do. This game also doesn’t reinforce spelling in the correct order.
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.
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.
