Welcome to Sight Words, a fun-filled adventure where children can learn to recognize, read, and write up to 320 sight words!

The beloved game of Hide-and-Seek is the central point of the app because it symbolically explores the cognitive skills necessary to remember sight words such as: visual attention, the morphology of the forest setting (i.e. the letters in a word), active listening, and of course visual memorization.

Developed with the The English Common Core State Standards in mind, this app will ensure that children have increased exposure to high frequency words that appear in text. These interactions will enable them to acquire the words into their long term memory. Our list was chosen based on Dolch’s and Fry’s compilations which account for over 50% of words that appear in printed text.

Recommended Ages 3-8

Pros and cons of Sight Words Adventure app for iPhone and iPad

Sight Words Adventure app good for

I would recommend this app for parents. Its been a really great tool for practicing vocabulary words!
I love this app. Learning sight words has become fun. I wish I was a kid !!!

Some bad moments

Simple and well-designed, just what I want for my 4-year-old daughter!
I was very excited when I first got this app. I thought itd be a great way for my students to practice their sight words. I was extremely disappointed to learn that this app is not used friendly at all. Its difficult to switch between players, my students can not do it independently. I have to log in every time they want to switch players. Their accounts do not sync across various devices either. All in all, this is a very disappointing app and I will be looking for something more user friendly.
I would recommend this app for parents. Its been a really great tool for practicing vocabulary words!
I like that my daughter can be independent while she plays this game. The instructions are super clear ans the games are familiar so she can easily navigate them while I work with another one of my kids, or make dinner. It keeps her very busy.
This app is a great teaching tool. I use the typewriter with my students, very efficient for learning to write new words.
My kids love this game. They learn to write the words easily. Nice characters too.
