## What is Sight Word Intervention?

Sight Word Intervention is a systematic method of teaching your student or child how to read sight words by using  proven techniques with Incremental Rehearsal. This application is designed by Kindergarten and First Grade Educators at top elementary schools who have effectively used these techniques to teach many students as part of core curriculum. Now your student or child can leverage our experience to master sight words and build confidence and a strong base for reading.

This application allows you to complete comprehensive assessments of your students' abilities across six different sight word lists including Zeno, Dolch and Fry. You can also add your own lists and words. After completing assessments, you can focus interventions by selecting nine known words and one unknown word for the student. Through incremental rehearsal, known words are reinforced while words that are not yet known are mastered. These techniques have been proven to work in many classroom and home settings. 

This application guides you through  interventions by presenting words in the following order, where Z is the unknown word and A through I are known by the student:

Z
A, Z
A, B, Z
A, B, C, Z
A, B, C, D, Z
A, B, C, D, E, Z
A, B, C, D, E, F, Z
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, Z
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, Z
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, Z


For each interaction in assessments or interventions, the facilitator records whether the student knows the words or not. The application tracks each and every word, automatically recording proficiency when the student reaches 80% for the word or marking the word as unknown if proficiency drops below the 80% threshold. 

Detailed reports show the following:
- Percentage known by word list and each word within the list
- Number of words learned by week
- Charting to show words learned by week compared to goal
- Email progress, detailed results and charts

The ability to add custom word lists and/or words is available. This creates endless opportunities for your students and allows you to create even more opportunities for students who are proficient in what is provided.

We hope this offering increases your students' abilities in reading sight words and learning to read. We gladly accept feedback and strive to provide the best products for you and those wanting to teach and learn.

### 1/5 — Please correct this issue.

*2019-09-12*

I need to be able to assess my kids over a period of time, without the words resetting each time I assess them. Please correct this issue. Each time I assess them on a group of words, the stats go Back to 1/1 or 0/1. This isn’t helpful in tracking their progress, and was the entire point of purchasing the app.

### 4/5 — Awesome App for teachers

*2018-04-09*

Pros: 
-easily keep track of and assess what sight words students know 
-have multiple students on the same app 
-easy to keep parents informed by sending results as an email

Suggestions: 
-During intervention teachers are prompted to select known words to practice again. If you don't select words it always does the same 9. It would be great if there was an option to randomly select 9 words so they are reviewing different words. 
-I would also love the ability to mark an unknown word as known rather than have to do an intervention on a word that they have learned outside of the app.

### 1/5 — I used to love this app!

*2018-02-22*

I have had this app for quite a while. Just upgraded to an IPhone X and can’t see the buttons at the bottom that allow you to go into the assessment and intervention areas. Please fix this or tell me how to!

**Developer response:** Hi Shae - thanks for this feedback. It was an issue in the application for iPhone X. There is a release available today (6/7/2018) that fixes this. Thanks for bringing this to our attention and if you have any other feedback please feel free to update your review.

### 5/5 — Amazing app for teachers

*2017-10-04*

This app has helped to decrease my work load. It is an all in one app. I'm able to assess my students as well as progress monitor them. If I am concerned with a student I am able show my referral team the rate of growth the student has or hasn't made each week. This shows me exactly where my students are and what they need to work on. Thank you for creating this!!!
