Do your kid needs to know what sight words are? Million Miles Tech brings Sight words which are building blocks for early kids learning to read English. Our app helps your child learn to read with sight words based on the popular Dolch word list for Preschool, Kindergarten, Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3. Dolch sight word flash cards have all words from pre-kindergarten, with words such as a, I, and you, and lasts to Grade 3 with more complicated words as laugh, light, shall, and together. Dolch sight words are compiled by Edward William Dolce, the sight words list was prepared in 1936, and the list was assembled based on the children’s book of his era which contains 220 words. Although most of the 220 Dolch words are phonetic, children of now and then told that they can't be sounded out using common sound-to-letter hidden phonics patterns and have to be learned by sight, hence was named as a sight word. The list is divided according to the grades in which it was intended that children would memorize these words pre-primer (40words), primer (52words) Grade1 (41 words) Grade 2 (46 words) and Grade 3 (41 words). The compilation excludes nouns, which comprise a separate 95-word list. Between 50% and 75% of all words used in school books, library books, newspapers, and magazines are a part of the Dolch basic sight word vocabulary. Sight words sometimes called high-frequency words are words that do not have a simple one-to-one correspondence between sounds and written words, being able to identify sight words is a crucial part of learning how to read. Sight words mastery is an essential step towards reading perfection. Therefore our game is designed for early age kids to recognize sounds, putting letters together so that children identify the building of different English word and would be able to understand English sentences and read them. Playing our game just for few minutes a day will make a progressive transformation in your kids reading skills.

Children hear a phrase or sentence, see text and a picture introducing each of the 40 Dolch Pre-Kindergarten Sight Words and 52 Dolch Kindergarten Sight Words. Quizzes allow children to repeatedly quiz the same word or quiz a random sampling of words, earning a gold coin for a successful first answer, a silver coin for success on a second try. A piggy bank cues a screen displaying total coins won. The table of contents will show, beside each word, from one to five gold stars for correct first answers in a row without any mistakes. We plan soon to add Sight Words for 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, and nouns. Secret Kid Stuff emphasizes phonics principles by tutoring children in Pig Latin, a traditional language game which allows children to communicate among themselves. The game reinforces phonetic principles by training children to recognize the first phoneme of a word, such as the ‘b’ in ‘boy’, place it at the end of the word, and then add the ‘ay’ sound, ‘oy-bay’. Brainy Sight Words complements our sister apps Brainy Words 2000, Brainy Phonics , and Rhyme A Zoo. We will soon add Brainy Stories 1 and Brainy Rhymes 1. Visit us at hearatale.org.
