Not impressed – Sight Words Hangman Review

This truly is basic but in terms of literacy facilitation it has flaws. The words that are listed along with the target word should be similar to the target word in either spelling or pronunciation, so we know the child is truly reading and not just using their knowledge that the word presented starts with an s so they choose the ONLY word in the list starting with s. My 8 yr old is completely bored by this. Would have liked to see an option to spell words, perhaps, too. I also have concerns about the words chosen for the lists, if this is truly aimed at 4-6 yr olds learning sight reading. Some more phonemically advanced words are mixed with simple words. Thankfully I got it during a free promo.
