Learning to read takes practice. For my kids, some of the best practice started with magnetic letters on our fridge. Make cat. Swap the t for a p. Now it’s cap. One small change. One new word. And a child who can see for themselves how words work. That simple kind of practice became the idea behind Wiggly Words. Wiggly Words gives children from preschool through Grade 3 focused ways to practice the skills they’re learning: phonics, sight words, and spelling. No endless tapping. No points to collect. Just thoughtful activities that ask children to read, listen, remember, choose, and build. ---------- PHONICS Change one sound. Read a new word. Children sound out and blend a word, then choose which part to change to make a new word. cat → hat → bat Because only one part changes, children can use the word they just read to help work out the next one. Within each guided set, children make choices and explore how those changes create new words. After reading three related words, children build one of them part by part. This reinforces their understanding of the word pattern and the sounds the letters make within it. 48 guided sets progress from simple three-letter words to blends, digraphs, vowel patterns, and more. ---------- SIGHT WORDS Listen. Search. Recognize. Children work with three words at a time. They hear one word and find it among the others. Looking through the choices gives them repeated practice recognizing common words. Missed words are marked for review. Parents can see which words need more practice and repeat the same set when needed. Word Wall includes 500 high-frequency words drawn from the Dolch and Fry lists, with practice from preschool through Grade 3. ---------- SPELLING Hear it. Remember it. Build it. Children listen to a word, remember the spelling, and build it letter by letter. They first try to recall the spelling themselves, without a word on screen to copy. Help appears step by step. First, unused letters fade away. If more help is needed, the letters are highlighted in sequence. The child still builds the word themselves. 320 spelling words provide practice from Kindergarten through Grade 3. ---------- WORD WORK THAT BUILDS STRONGER READING FOUNDATIONS Wiggly Words complements the skills children are learning with focused practice in phonics, sight words, and spelling. Think magnetic letters, flash cards, and pencil and paper, made interactive so children can practice with a parent or independently, at home, after school, or whenever a little extra practice fits. Practice fits your family’s routine. Spend a few minutes or stay longer. Choose the activity that matches what your child is working on, revisit a set for extra practice, or move ahead when your child is ready. ---------- WHAT’S INCLUDED • Phonics, sight words, and spelling in one app • 48 guided phonics sets • 500 Dolch and Fry sight words • 320 spelling words • Missed words marked for review • Progress parents can follow • 2 free sets in each activity. Additional sets require an in-app purchase. • No ads Small steps. Active practice. Stronger reading foundations.
