In levels 3-15 each level includes the words from all previous levels and introduces 5 to 7 new words. All words are pronounced clearly by a native English speaker.

Support for multiple users is now included. Users can be added or deleted by selecting 'manage users' in the Settings screen. Progress is maintained separately for each user. Students can easily switch to their profile by selecting the 'user' button on the main menu. For more information on managing users please visit our website. Up to 24 users are supported per device.

Activities in each level include:

Word Wheel - A quick introduction to each word then quiz to reinforce word recognition. Hints that reinforce knowledge because the first exposure might not make it stick.

Happy Mom!

I downloaded the free app, once I noticed that you only have access to the “1st level” I opted to pay for the full version. It was totally worth the $2.99. My 5 year old went from not being able to read full sentences to being able to continually read full sentence in just 3 weeks!!! I couldn’t be happier! It really helped him SO MUCH! I recommend only letting your child play for 15-20 minute intervals.... my son started to get bored after that. It’s gets a little redundant. Regardless this app still gets my 5 star rating! Thank you creators!


Sound not working
Any nickname ar all

The mute button does nothing. I’d be happy to give it a higher rating because when the sound worked, it was fun. But today sound isn’t working.


Not recommended.

I purchased the full version when I noticed my child was learning her sight words and actually enjoyed it. The difference with my purchase is the levels continue to be locked. My card went through not so it’s not a problem there.


Not a Free app.

Here is what my 5 year old said: mommy, the lady has funny voice. My comments are yes, she does. It’s not pleasant to the ear automated voice who is leading the kids through the game. Plus, only the first level is unlocked, the rest you have to pay. The learning concept was exciting, but not pleasant because of the voice.
