"The kids all loved this app. With school just starting and being able to incorporate their weekly Vocabulary Word List (this was a big plus to parents!) it really makes the kids feel like they are reaching some reading goals. It is very easy to use, and the different levels allowed the kids to start where they were most comfortable and work their way up.The bright background colors and the large print size made it so visually appealing to all the kids. Keep up the great work!"

### 4/5 — A very useful app

*2018-11-15*

I have found this app to be very useful for teaching any subject. You can quickly make your own flash cards to assist in learning. For instance I wanted to learn some basic phrases and numbers on a foreign language. I created my own set of “flash cards” with the phrases I want to learn. The app presents the “flash cards” in random order. I would like to see a setting to display the “flash cards” in the order they are entered in the list. In my language learning procedure I would put the English phrase on the first card followed by the foreign language phrase on the second card. Since this option is not available (yet) I put both the English and foreign phrase on the same card. I’m sure I will find more improvements as I gain more experience with the app.

### 4/5 — Need to exit and open the app again to switch level

*2018-09-11*

It is annoying to switch level. Furthermore,  if there is pronunciation will be nice.

### 1/5 — Not fun

*2013-10-19*

If my son touches the screen, like he would want to do, the word is gone and does not come back.  I can't tell him not to touch the iPad.

### 5/5 — Another home run!!!

*2013-09-19*

EG sets the standard for kids games and this game is no exception. Great job guys. Keep it up.

### 1/5 — Pk Teachet

*2013-09-15*

I would like the audio so students can work independently. Very disappointed.

### 5/5 — Wonderful teaching tool

*2013-09-13*

Great app to use with my son to practice letters and words! I love that you can create your own list of words.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2013-09-13*

I had recently heard about dolch sight words on NPR.  My son Joe is about to enter first grade and I wanted to give him a strong leg up on his reading.

Great job dev.
