***** 24x7digital's SightWords app has been featured as an iTunes App Store Staff Pick! Help your young learner master the most frequently used words in the English language! A child who can recognize just 8 of 10 words in a sentence can typically understand its meaning! "Sight words" often cannot be illustrated via simple pictures or sounded out according to regular phonetic decoding rules, thus they need to be learned and recognized "on sight". Our SightWords app is a handy way to encourage a child's mastery of their sight words either as part of a structured reading program at school, or as an impromptu study session when standing in line at the grocery store. SightWords Pro contains a selection of over 1,600+ sight words which comprises up to 85% of the text in a child's early reading materials -- comprehensively compiled from Dolch, Fry, Pinnell-Fountas, UK, and many other high-frequency word lists. Choose a pre-defined flash card word list, or build and save custom flash card lists to match what is taught in the classroom. Add custom words and record your own pronunciations. Mark flash cards with stars or flags. Flash cards respond to swipes and taps. Shake your device to shuffle the words. Beautiful voice-pronunciations for all included words. FEATURES: • Over 1,600+ essential sight words • Upper and lower-case alphabet, numbers 0-100, colors, shapes, animals, months • Beautifully recorded American-English pronunciations for all words • Words organized by number of letters • Customizable word lists with copy/paste • Add your own words • Record your own pronunciations • Simple textual editing of word lists • Export your custom word lists as text • Mark flash cards with stars or flags • Flash cards respond to swipes and taps • Shake to shuffle words • In-app Help documentation • Universal app optimized for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad TRY OUR OTHER APPS: TeachMe: Toddler, TeachMe: Kindergarten, TeachMe: 1st Grade, TeachMe: 2nd Grade, TeachMe: 3rd Grade, TeachMe: Math Facts.

Kids go beyond basic ABCs and phonics—they learn how letters form blends, digraphs, word families, diphthongs, and CVC words, all key building blocks for fluency. • "This app really helps reinforce the phonics principles and sight words we go over daily. I love that my children are eager to learn and have fun doing it." • "[My 5 year old] has been using Wonster Words each night and has started to spell on his own. We are sounding out words together. He looks forward to playing the games and even reminds me of his practice time. _______________________ CUSTOM WORD LISTS & SPELLING LESSONS Every child learns differently, and now you can personalize their learning experience! With our Custom Word List feature, parents and teachers can enter their own words, and Wonster Words will automatically generate phonics-based spelling lessons tailored to those words. • "I love this for my child’s spelling words.

It’s an excellent supplement for speech therapy and a motivator for kids working on communication skills. • "My three year old was slow to articulate many words.

He's four now and still loves this app. Non-stop chatterbox with a huge vocabulary." • "I am a retired Speech-language Pathologist and I provide training for preschools. I love this app for vocabulary building, early reading and spelling." _______________________ FITS YOUR NEEDS Wonster Words supports offline play when traveling. It is safe for kids and ad-free.
