SightWords Pro 3.0 – New Educational App for iOS
SightWords Pro is a comprehensive learning tool containing over 1,500 high-frequency sight words compiled from many sources including Dolch, Fry, UK, and AU word lists. Students may tap the sight word to hear professionally recorded American-English pronunciations, swipe flash-cards to navigate the stack of words, and shake their iOS device to shuffle the flash-cards.
The 1,500 sight words included with SightWords Pro comprises up to 85% of the text in a child’s early reading materials. A child who can recognize just 8 of 10 words in a sentence can typically understand its meaning! "Sight words" often cannot be illustrated via simple pictures or sounded out according to regular phonetic decoding rules, thus they need to be learned and recognized "on sight". SightWords Pro is a handy way to keep track of and encourage a child’s mastery of their sight words.
SightWords Pro is easy to use by all ages including beginning English readers at the preschool, Kindergarten, and 1-3 grades, as well as ESL learners, and those with learning disabilities. SightWords Pro is also a great tool for teachers, school districts, and home-school educators.
SightWords Pro has been featured as an Apple iTunes App Store Staff Pick. Furthermore, the latest release is a Universal Binary which has been optimized to work on iPad as well as iPhone and iPod touch.
