## What is Secret Fry Words?

"A great way to give parents a break and let your kid have fun and learn to read at the same time." - Jen, Kindergarten teacher and mom of three.

I have a confession to make.  Like most kids, my son always preferred playing video games and I was getting increasingly frustrated with having my son waste a lot of time on a fun but mindless game while he was still struggling to master his fry words and learning to read. 

So I decided to create a secret sight word game and to my and my son's delight, he now has a game where he is having fun and learning at the same time. 

My sons skills in recognizing Fry Words have dramatically improved since he started playing Secret Fry Words and now I no longer have to feel guilty when I need a five minute break to take care of the laundry or prepare lunch for the kids.  I know that they are having fun and that they are learning at the same time.

Secret Fry Words is an exciting educational game that helps kids rapidly learn fry words by sight, sound, and touch.  Our philosophy is that games have to be fun first because if kids don't want to use them, then you have already lost.  Fortunately, kids really like playing Secret Fry Words.

The interface is so easy to use that even a 9 month old baby will delight in using this app. 

FEATURES:

• Press on the picture clues to hear the word and then drag the correct letter to the correct slot

• You decide what to focus on - turn individual categories and individual fry words ON or OFF from the settings page

• Learn by sight, sound, and touch

• Fun game play, sounds, and animations keep kids engaged

• Fully customizable.  You can easily adjust the difficulty based on the user's skill

• Tracks user progress

Adjust difficulty from settings page. 
 
• Wrong answers do not interfere with gameplay, the child can immediately try again (most other games are too slow to keep kids interested by interrupting the gameplay and slowly repeating the instructions)

• Play Fry Words from A to Z or in random order (adjustable from settings page)

• Multi-sensory learning tool - combining audio, voice, and touch

• Want to work on just a few Fry Words?  No problem… head to the settings page to turn entire categories or individual Fry Words on and off

• Want to record your own audios? No problem.  Just click on the category and record your own Fry Words sounds

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2019-08-25*

All I get is a blank screen that displays a message saying “you need at least one item with a label in the selected board to play SecretWords.”  App works fine on my older iPads, but not on my newer ones.

Extremely useful for the young students. 
Great practice tool.

So hard to customize and it keeps telling me that the list needs a label. I’ve tried everything. Nothing fixes it. No help tab anywhere.

Love the way this app is set up, and the images are well chosen to represent the vocabulary words.

### 4/5 — Fry Words

*2018-06-13*

Uncluttered pages, if needed audio for beginning sound and audio for completed word,
