Smiley Sight Words teaches high-frequency sight words to your child! The 1,600+ sight words included with Smiley Sight Words comprises up to 85% of the text in a child's early reading materials. 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". Smiley Sight Words is a handy way to keep track of and encourage a child's mastery of their sight words. FEATURES: • Optimized for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. • Over 1,600 common sight words comprehensively compiled from Dolch, Fry, Pinnell-Fountas, UK, and many other high-frequency word lists. • Beautifully recorded American-English pronunciations for all words • Top 1000 - 40 levels sorted by frequency • Dolch 300 - 7 levels (pre-primer, primer, grade 1-3, nouns 1-2) • Dolch 300 - 11 levels sorted by frequency • Fry 1000 - 10 levels sorted by frequency • UK 1000 - 10 levels sorted by frequency • AU Rainbow - 12 levels sorted by color-code. • More Words - Upper and lower-case alphabet, numbers 0-100, colors, shapes, animals, months, days of week, family words, common nouns • Words organized by number of letters • 10 Customizable Flash Card sets • 10 Shared Customizable Flash Card sets common to all 5 players • Copy and Paste words from sets or emails • Email export of word lists • Show and Hide individual words • Mark flash cards with smileys - try to earn 3 thumbs-up smileys for each word. • Flash cards respond to swipes, shakes, and taps • Customizable settings for up to 40 players • Player names and photos can be customized • Progress Report can be saved to Photo Library • D'Nealian, Zaner-Bloser, Times, Helvetica, Marker Felt, Chalkboard, and Noteworthy fonts • In-app Help documentation Please contact us first at support@24x7digital.com.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Second Grade Learning Games holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Second Grade Learning Games has 16K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Smiley Sight Words's written reviews are positive against 60% of Second Grade Learning Games's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
