The Sight Word Adventure

Sight words are commonly used words that young children are encouraged to memorise as a whole by sight so that they can automatically recognise these words in print without having to use any phonics to decode them. They actually constitute 75% of words in a story. Words like there, where, they, his, her, me, you are normally part of this list. The child is introduced to a few words at a time. The best way to handle these words is to memorise them. The Sight Word Adventure app has 320 words split into 7 games. They also have a Read and Write section. The reading games focus on helping young readers recognise complete words, while the writing games test their ability to spell the words. You can also customise the game by adding your own sight words or by prioritising a few select words.

Green Eggs And Ham By Dr Seuss

This fun and interactive app makes learning a lot of more exciting for the kids. If you have enabled the reading option, the story is read aloud with the words getting highlighted on the screen as they are read out. This helps children associate the words on the screen with the words they are hearing. Every character can be interacted with by a tap. When tapped, the word or name appears and is read aloud. We are sure your kids will love Dr Seuss like we all do.

Star Gurus

This is a cooler and better version of the game we played as kids- connect the dots. In the app instead of dots, they connect stars. Once all the stars are connected, the image displayed is read out loud. The parents can customise it by adding only odd numbers or skip two counting etc. It’s fun and the kids learn to exercise their thinking and mathematical skills.
