## What is Kindergarten Sight Words Intro?

Kindergarten 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. The full version of the application includes 100 of the most common words found in reading materials for kindergarten age children. 

This free version includes Level 1. The full version includes Levels 1-15. Level 1 and 2 contain 8 high frequency words with 5 activities to introduce and reinforce the words. In levels 3-15 each level includes the words from all previous levels and introduces 5 to 7 new words. 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.

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.

### 2/5 — Ok I guess

*2026-07-03*

I guess that’s a good app and the only problem is it makes you pay to have all of the things

### 1/5 — This app is a scam

*2023-02-04*

I have bought this app twice and it has kick me out this is a scam I want my money back I want all six of my dollars back

### 2/5 — Paid for access to all levels, only gave me access one day

*2022-02-22*

My daughter played free level one and mastered those words rather quickly. We love the app. So we decided to buy the full version for 2.99. She played on level two last night, we loved it, however this morning access to all the other levels is locked again and it wants us to buy the full version??? Hoping the 2.99 wasn’t what they charge each time we want to go beyond the free level one?????

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2021-03-15*

Been using this app with my daycare kids for years. Totally worth the purchase. The repetitive use of the words made memorization of the words very easy. It put them at a huge advantage when it was time for kindergarten. Highly recommend it!

### 2/5 — Voice

*2020-11-21*

The voice used is a very creepy computer voice. Also the voice stopped after paying for a subscription.

### 2/5 — Sound only occasionally works

*2020-11-12*

This app doesn’t work without the sound and it only rarely works.

### 2/5 — Liked at first

*2020-07-30*

We really liked this app at first. Then the sound stopped. Not sure how to fix on our end, but after many attempts to fix, we are purchasing a different app for our Kindergartener. Since we are distance learning at home we need to find something that works.

### 3/5 — Sound Works When it Wants To?????

*2020-02-22*

I paid for the full version. I don’t have a problem paying because we should not expect to get everything for free. However, I do expect to hear the sound EVERY TIME I use the app with my child (sound function on the app does not cooperate). I know others have complained of this issue. This would get 5 stars if I did not have this issue. It’s frustrating.

### 2/5 — Couldn’t hear anything.

*2020-01-30*

We played the first level and the app had no volume. Made sure phone was turned all the way up. Disappointed.

### 1/5 — Grand mama

*2019-09-28*

"NO SOUND", purchased the full $2.99 set. Re loaded with same issue. The contact service page no longer available when trying to contact company to fix or refund monies. Sadly just out money and want to warn other not to waste time down loading this app.
