Teaching kids how to learn! Our program teaches children different learning strategies intuitively. Each of our 6 games focuses on a different learning strategy while teaching one of the three sight words lists (Fry,Dolch,M200).We separate the list into 22 smaller levels starting from the higher frequency words and teaching in a similar order to most schools.* ideal for early readers, beginning readers, pre-schools, first years of school, kindergarten kids, and readers having difficulty with reading and recalling these words. **** Try the first 3 levels for free (18 games). Then unlock the full version for the price of a cup of coffee to support us and your child!

I bought the rest of the locked levels through In-App purchase and now the levels won't unlock and it says I still have the lite veresion. I would like a refund. update: developer responded very quickly and offered a refund.

This has been perfect for my 4/5 year old grandson who has learnt so much faster with this to help. Would prefer a UK accent but infinitely better than the US one!

Sharon Lewis

Kids have difficult time recognizing letters in different fonts!

A good idea but as there is only one bit of a game to play and only three of the many lists of words visable it is hard to decide just how good it is - or isn't. Some of the (few) words that are available, are not pronounced properly. One of the voices says "off" when the word is 'of' and another says "ugh" when it is 'a'.

Tina Tortoise

Great game, wish we could get more out of it before you have to pay for it.
