## What is Intermediate Sight Words?

Intermediate Sight Words 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 application 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 — No sound makes this a waste of your money

*2020-06-28*

I purchased it as a bundle. The first level app works great but the Intermediate app and advanced app levels have no sound! Don’t waste time purchasing the intermediate and advance levels. Just the beginner one. That one works great. 

It was beyond disappointing. If they fix this I am more than happy to change my review.

### 1/5 — Sound doesn’t work

*2020-06-02*

Sound doesn’t work. Rip off.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2020-05-11*

We loved the beginner version of this game and bought the bundle so my son could continue. The sound doesn’t work no matter what we do. You really can’t learn without the sound

### 3/5 — Seems great but sound is not working

*2018-09-21*

I just bought this bundle for my daughter today and found out that the sound does not work. We are unable to see the games full potential without the sound. I am hoping someone can help me figure out if there is a way to fix this.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2018-09-18*

Just purchased and downloaded. There is no sound.

### 5/5 — Sight Words

*2016-08-14*

Again, very colorful and fun graphics.  I so enjoy having a quiet learning session with my grandson.  What a great way to learn new sight words.

### 5/5 — English

*2016-05-19*

Way to learn new English words or expand knowledge for those learning to read

### 5/5 — Sight word

*2016-05-18*

Excellent second collection of words to learn. Great vocabulary builder. My daughter loves to play and learn. We got this after the Kindergarten words app.

### 5/5 — Great

*2016-05-15*

Great

### 5/5 — Great

*2016-05-13*
