Poor Navigation
Austinrca
This app does a good job of presenting the words, and has some great activities to make learning fun, but the navigation is very rigid. You can't go to a particular place or activity. You have to follow a prescribed sequence to get where you want to go. That is ok the first time through the words, but after that, the child should be able to go straight to Hangman, or another activity without being constrained by the program to go through a sequence first.

My student's love using this app. The only problem I have with it is that as they're working in the app the "voice" will override the headphones, and play through the speakers. Therefore they use the app until it starts talking through the speakers, which limits there use. If this bug would be fixed it would be great!
Good and Bad

I really like the games and the fact that the kids can write the sight words in the lines like they would on a piece of paper. However, the kids don't have to spell the word correct or at all in order to move on. They could just click through or scribble to get to the games. If there was a way to track their progress or give them the option of telling them they need to do their best work, I think that would greatly increase the value of this learning tool.
Smart App!
They love it!
This app is great for kindergarten and early first grade. The students practice the sight words by, listening, reading, spelling and recording and listening to their own voices pronouncing the words. After each group of five words there is a fun game to reinforce identifying the targeted sight words. I recommend using a stylus for the writing practice. There are a couple things that would make this app better. The print could be in D'Nelian since this is a broadly taught form of handwriting. Also, my students' favorite game is the nature puzzle that follows the first five sight words. I wish that game was available for the other words or on a related app available for purchase.

So far we have bought the 1st hundred words of this app & I love it. My daughter loves the matching & tic tac toe games. Shes a little young for the hangman or spelling games so we skip them. I only wish there was a scramble function or parental control that would allow me to create a list of words my daughter is struggling with. This would make it easier for her to review specific words without having to go through all the words. I may be asking for a lot but it would be nice if there was a trace feature option on the app for the little ones that are still working on writing by way of tracing. Either way this app is teaching my daughter. She knows at least 85 of the words & she's only 3.
