Stairways Software releases Sight Words 1.0 on the Mac App Store
The program can handle multiple children (even an entire class), and tracks each child’s progress showing which words that child has mastered and more frequently prompting them with words that have not yet been committed to memory.
Almost 2000 words are included, including those in the popular Dolch Word List, all internally ordered from easiest to hardest so that the easier words are offered early.
You can also generate a nice looking report of the child’s current status, showing words they know, words they are still working on, and words that they haven’t yet tried.
Sight Words is suitable for children aged around 6-9 who have learned the alphabet and started learning to read. It is designed to enhance their reading by letting them learn and internalize the most common early words.
