Sight Words make up about 50 percent of regular English text. To become a great reader, a child must learn to automatically recognize Sight Words. Reading without this essential skill is as slow and frustrating as driving a car with a flat tire. Introducing Sight Words Sentence Builder—a proven learning tool for young readers. This kid-friendly app trains children to quickly recognize all Dolch Sight Words and build sentences from them. The Sentence Builder is not a mindless game that will be thrown out once all levels have been finished. The app can be played over and over until you see no more "blind spots" in your child’s Sight Words collection. Each level contains simple, common phrases that are constructed using Sight Words. As children hear each phrase, they must arrange words in the correct order to progress through the game.
