I Say Sight Words [iPad]

Flash cards are a proven method to teach sight words. It has been in use for generations. What if you have a tool that works like flash cards but makes them interactive and fun at the same time? This app tries to achieve this using cute letters and their delightful animations to make sight word practice a multi sensory experience.

Unlike other apps where Kids are supposed to find the word being said and they can work through the app by taking random guesses, this app focuses on a word and encourages kids to say it by itself or use it in a sentence. 

If the word is read correctly, the letters fall down and next word appears. After 5 words, all letters start floating and you can play a little game of popping all the letters before they escape. Just a little incentive for the little ones to come back to sight word practice each day. If they do not know the word and need help, they can touch the word or use speaker button and it is read out to them. They still have repeat it to move to the next word. This ensures they are learning and practicing the words they don't know.

Imagine the possibilities.Make a game out of learning e.g use each word in a funny sentence or make a story using each word in a sentence :)

The app uses microphone access and speech recognition to make sure words are being read correctly but without this access, the app will still work as interactive flash cards. The app does not save or store any audio recordings ever. They are only used for the purpose of making sure the word is being said correctly.

The app comes with 300 words and 10 words are selected by default. A parent or teacher can customize and choose any number of words to focus on. You have full control over how many words you want to introduce to your kids at a time. When the word is read correctly without using any help, it is marked with a star. If help is used, the word is marked red to indicate it needs more practice. The app keeps track of the words mastered (2 stars) and intelligently chooses next word to work on.

Features:

- 300 words

- Ability to select the words learner should focus on

- Review progress easily

- Encourages creativity by giving ability to read words by itself or use them in a sentence

- A popping game at the end of each word set to encourage learning
