Learning Sight Words vs Kinetic Neuroscience

Studies have shown that good readers look at some words and automatically decode them. The Sight Words app lets beginning readers get a head start on learning these words. It helps older students who are struggling with reading master the sight words. There are 208 words organized by level of difficulty–Pre-Primer, Primer, Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3. The colorful photos provide a visual cue for the word. The phrases and sentences help the student visualize the word in context. Once the student is familiar with the words, use the Settings button to switch to the Practice mode. The app will display each of the words along with foils. The default is to find three targets in a field of fifteen foils. Both the number of targets and the number of foils can be changed in the Options. When the student is doing well in the Practice level, tap the Settings button to look at the options for the Challenge level. The Challenge level has foils that are not necessarily familiar to the student. The default is to find three targets in a field of fifteen foils. At first the foils are words that (usually) have no letters in common with the target word. If the student finds all of the targets in less than 20 seconds per screen with few mistakes, the app automatically changes the foils to words that look more like the target. When all of the target words have been practiced, the app moves the student to the next level of difficulty—all words start with a capital letter. When all the words have been viewed, the app again moves to a more difficult level—words randomly starting with a capital or lowercase letter. Appropriate for neurotypical children ages K-3rd grade, and children or adults having difficulty reading due to problems with with Auditory Processing, Auditory Conceptualization, Central Auditory Processing Disorders (CAPD), TBI, or Stroke. This app is based on the Sight Words DVD from LocuTour.

Kinetic Neuroscience leverages several modern neuroscience and wellness solutions to help improve lives through better attention and focus, better memory, better stress management, and better overall health. One of the important applications is home-use biofeedback training to help regulate emotions, stay focused, and sleep better—all with Versus.  PERFORMANCE BRAIN EXERCISE Versus provides performance brain exercise through a brain sensing headset and app. Designed by neuroscientists, Versus goes beyond cognitive brain games and promotes high-performance brain function. Exercise by playing games with your brain waves, and compare yourself to some of the world’s highest performing people. MEASURE YOUR BRAIN’S PERFORMANCE: Versus begins with a brief NeuroPerformance Assessment. This determines your brain’s strengths and limitations by reading your brainwaves in real time. Ever wonder why you react a certain way under pressure? With Versus, you’ll know. EXERCISE YOUR BRAIN: After your short NeuroPerformance Assessment, Versus provides a personal exercise plan so you can exercise your brain where you need it most. Exercise to improve focus, stress management, and more, just by playing fun games directly with your brainwaves. MEASURE YOUR PROGRESS: After a full exercise plan, take another NeuroPerformance Assessment to track how your brain has improved. The in- app performance tab allows you to track your daily progress and see how much time you spent in the optimal brain state. COMPARE YOUR BRAIN: Versus is used by some of the world’s highest performing people, like 3x Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings, double’s tennis legend Mike Bryan, and more. Visit the Versus Leaderboard to see how you stack up against some of the world’s best. CONNECT WIRELESSLY: The Versus Headset sends your brainwaves to the Versus App via Bluetooth, so you can exercise your brain without ever plugging in.
