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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Simple Sight Words at none against Learning Labs's 10. Simple Sight Words also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). Learning Labs's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 46 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
