About My Sight Words
Kids have fun while learning to read.
"My Sight Words" helps pre and early readers develop their skills through a fun and kid-friendly interaction with sight words (also known as Dolch words). Control/navigation is intuitive with spoken words, audible feedback, voice recognition and three learning modes.
v2.1 Added ability for users to create and edit their own lists of words.
Features:
* In-app help from menu or online at http://mysightwords.mygamesonline.org/my_sight_words_main.html
* Optimized for both phone and tablet size displays
* Preloaded with complete sight word lists for readers of various levels (includes the set of classic Dolch word lists and a set of modern sight word lists)
* Three learning modes: Intro, Practice, and Quiz
* User can create their own word lists
* User can record their own voice for word pronunciation.
* Words are spoken to help learning and pronunciation (if and when words are spoken is controlled by reader and depends on the selected learning mode)
* Speech recognition lets readers verify they are pronouncing words correctly. (Please, read the advice on how best to introduce this capability to new readers, its use, and its limitations.)
* Displays stats about the number of words remaining, hints given, correctly read words, words that needed revisiting, and word list size
* Words appear in random order to ensure recognition and prevent memorization of list
* Words are displayed in fun random colors
* User can select lower case letters or all upper case
* User can configure game play and reader interaction
* User can set a maximum number of words per learning "round" before a reward or break is offered
* In quiz mode, user can specify if speech recognition must be successful before reader gets credit for word
* User can specify if the results of speech recognition (i.e. what the application thinks the reader said) should be displayed to the reader
Planned Enhancements:
* Use gestures for navigation and control so reader can tap or slide word in addition to using buttons

I have a six year old struggling with his sight words at school. Suppose to practice 8 to 10 minutes everyday. This is a life saver because I have 3 children all with different needs. I set the timer on my phone and set him down and have him practice. Very thankful I found this app!

I type in a new list and it said the words for my child. But now it just say some of the words. And my screen don't have the mic on it. No screen not even the words already on your app. Can you please help me. I need a app that I can type my child words in and it say the words back to her. She has big words like (metaphor, proposal, hemisphere, longitude, compensation, commutative, associative, ecosystem, and organism) these are just some of her words for fourth grade. Can you please help me out.

This Is a wonderful app. My 5 year old can read on level 1 because of this app. Made it super easy for him to learn his sight words. He's a step ahead of his class cause he already know his sight words

This app is great. I was on the I pad for an hour trying to find a customizable sight word app. Finally, dropped the iPad and grabbed the SamsungTab-S. IT IS GREAT to be able to upload my daughters actual sight words. 5 star all day

I couldn't find my index cards and randomly decided to seek out an app like this. My primary criteria was the ability to make custom lists to match my stepson's school's Sight Words list. Downloaded, list added and ran through the whole thing with a very excited 4-year-old in less than 20 minutes. Absolutely stunning work, thank you!

My 1st grade boy loves this app. He has adhd and has had trouble reading. Making reading more like a game is perfect for him. We tried several of the sight word apps and this is by far the best.

My kid has had trouble reading since day 1. He was tested, and we were told he's not dyslexic, but everyone could tell there was some disconnect. Practicing sight words is the very best thing for him and this app facilitates it so well. We love it.
