I love sight, words pro

One thing that I would love to see implemented is the ability to use text to speech. So you don’t have to record the words individually you could just have Siri say the words. That way you could have Siri pronounce the words for you, which would speed up learning. So hope text to speech or Siri integration could be added. Thanks

Finally, a solution for my word blindness (alexia)

I am a published author. I was able to write my five star book only through dictating word by word, and listening to my text as I wrote it. I am word blind after a brain injury. My goal after publishing my five star memoir has been to regain my reading skill. Words cannot explain my gratitude. This method combines mind, eyes and hearing practices. After years of trying to find a program that would help me, I Finally stumbled upon this one, and it works for me! Janna Wagner, author of “Quadruplets, a love story.”

Well Worth The Money

I’m not one to leave reviews on apps, and with the very small number of reviews, and many laps of the Sun ago, I thought my review (hopefully), will be of benefit to parents and educators looking for a great app such as this. Looked high and low for a simple app for sight words. Every country, state and school has its own curriculum for sight words so I found it particularly great that I could make my own lists, add my own words (including the AU English spelling), and could add my own speech/voice so that the word also reflected the pronounciation in our dialect/accent. $1.49 we’ll spent!

please update the app

It looks weird on my iPad Pro 11 in.

Simple and direct

Go get this app!

Simple but functional

Got this app to use with my first grader. There were a lot of other options, several more playful, but this won. First, many of the other apps were way more expensive. Second, this had way more word lists— dolch, fry, uk, au, legacy, and more. It was by far the most comprehensive I saw. I have a few other apps that function more as games, this one is simple mastery. It works, and I am very happy with it.

This app

Love this app has help my daughter go above and beyond in her class and reading level is literally off the charts thanks worth it go threw and instal the extra words

Where have you been all my life!?

Love love love this app. My boy is in year 1.. I wish I knew this app existed last year. Love that you can load custom lists that the teachers give you. Highly recommend.

Needs to be updated.

I literally JUST bought this for my kid to practice for school. It was great...until my phone updated...now nothing. You should be ready for this...please fix it!

Great app needs updating!

I paid money for this app 2 months ago and I really liked it, it works very well and I love the features but went to use it after the latest OS 11 update it won’t work. Please update it!!!!!

New update Problems

I have loved this app until now. I just updated my phone and now it won’t work. My kids use this for their school so I hope they update it soon.

Love this app

I use this with my students daily!!!

Sight Words

Love, love, love this app! As a reading teacher I would recommend this app to teachers, parents and grandparents! My grand children ages 3-7 love using this app. I loaded it with their level and they like getting stars after they master words!

Great app, just what I was after

I wanted an app that I could use to help my daughter learn her 'Magic 100 Words' (M100W as taught in Victorian primary schools).
This was perfect for my requirements, all words are there and in selectable lists. You can display them in order, randomise the list and combine lists (good for reviewing the earlier words as they move on to the next level)
It shows the word, and when you click on the word it reads it aloud. Great functionality and my daughter loves it.

Also good support, I got answers to my questions the same day.
Very highly recommended.

Good unless you need capital letters

I was excited to find this app to upload my own sight words and record them being said. Unfortunately, our current list is days of the week and months of the year. The app wouldn't let me use capital letters. Deleted the app until this is fixed.

Dull

Dull, tedious, and monotonous.
Why would any child want to use this app?!

Could be better

A quiz (spelling test) option would make this app a five star.

Great App, has made homework a much more pleasant task

My 6 year old enjoys using the app to learn her sight words. I love that the lists are customisable. We add new words as her teacher gives them to her.

We use the flags to mark words she doesn't know and the stars for new words; sometimes we only go through these words.

Also love the ability to record over the original recordings as some of the American pronunciations confused my little Aussie!

A great app

Great App!!

My 6 year old daughter is loving this app and enjoys using the app rather than a word ring with more than 150 flash cards on it!

I do wish that when you 'bump' word lists with another phone (my husbands for example) that the stars and flags also bumped, as she then has to start over on that part. But do really like this app! Thank you

Absolutely love this app!

My son (5) and I use this together all the time -- this is by far our favorite way to practice words. He can use the app on his own as well and know how he is doing with the great voice recordings of all the words.

Two reasons why this isn't a 5-star app for me:

- While the shake feature is great, I want to be able to turn it off!!! We find ourselves half way through large lists and then accidentally bump the iPad...
- We love the stars and the flags. I'd also like to be able to limit to words in our list (especially helpful for large lists) to those without a star or a flag.

Overall, excellent app. Tons of great features and easy enough for my son to work himself.
