## What is Intermediate Sight Words Free?

Intermediate Sight Words Free features multiple interactive activities to introduce and practice use of high frequency words critical for reading. High frequency words or sight words are the building blocks for children learning to read. This free version includes Level 1 and the first ten words. This full version includes 150 of the most common words found in reading materials for kindergarten and first grade age children. 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.

Space Spelling - Jumbled letters need rearranged to spell the words. This activity has context-sensitive help so that even beginners will be able to learn spellings.  Correctly spelled words are rewarded with rainbow rockets.

Jungle Bingo - Word bingo game includes context sensitive help and animated text to reinforce learning.

Reading Highway - Trucks drive through carrying words. Status bar displays a sparkling star for each correct answer.

Oceans of Word Search - Underwater themed word search with context-sensitive help and interactive sea creatures as rewards for found words.

Memory Menagerie -  Animals flip to reveal the words.  Correct matches rewarded with animals flapping off the screen.

Intermediate Sight Words is the 2nd set (out of 3) of vocabulary building exercises. Also available are Kindergarten Sight Words and Advanced Sight Words.

### 1/5 — Won’t let us move on

*2022-03-01*

App will not let my child pass to level 2.  She has completed level 1 with no mistakes multiple times as have I.

### 5/5 — Enjoying the app

*2019-10-02*

My three year old son is loving the app and is learning so much.

### 1/5 — Not free

*2017-04-09*

Only the first 10 sight words on this app are free. In order to access higher levels, you have to purchase full version. Bait and switch

**Developer response:** I am sorry that you feel that we are being deceptive. The app store description reads "This free version includes Level 1 and the first ten words. This full version includes 150 of the most common words found in reading materials for kindergarten and first grade age children." 

We offer this trial version of our paid app for parents and educators to download for free in order to evaluate if they approve of the method and content of the lessons. We do this because our apps are not for everyone, and we don't want you to be unhappy with a paid purchase. We spend hundreds of hours developing and testing our educational software and believe the $2-3 we charge per title is reasonable, but want you to have the opportunity to try the software before purchasing. The versions are limited because we do not believe in advertisements or micropayment for monetizations in children software.

### 4/5 — English

*2016-05-16*

Good list of words for those new with English or just learning to read.

Great learning tool for kids

### 5/5 — Super

*2015-02-13*

Great for kids

### 5/5 — Useful

*2015-02-13*

My daughter played the Kindergarten set and wanted more so I downloaded this. The words in this set are good, but the free version is only the first ten.
