Report an issueSmiley Sight Words teaches high-frequency sight words to your child!
The 1,600+ sight words included with Smiley Sight Words 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". Smiley Sight Words is a handy way to keep track of and encourage a child's mastery of their sight words.
FEATURES: • Optimized for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. • Over 1,600 common sight words comprehensively compiled from Dolch, Fry, Pinnell-Fountas, UK, and many other high-frequency word lists. • Beautifully recorded American-English pronunciations for all words • Top 1000 - 40 levels sorted by frequency • Dolch 300 - 7 levels (pre-primer, primer, grade 1-3, nouns 1-2) • Dolch 300 - 11 levels sorted by frequency • Fry 1000 - 10 levels sorted by frequency • UK 1000 - 10 levels sorted by frequency • AU Rainbow - 12 levels sorted by color-code. • More Words - Upper and lower-case alphabet, numbers 0-100, colors, shapes, animals, months, days of week, family words, common nouns • Words organized by number of letters • 10 Customizable Flash Card sets • 10 Shared Customizable Flash Card sets common to all 5 players • Copy and Paste words from sets or emails • Email export of word lists • Show and Hide individual words • Mark flash cards with smileys - try to earn 3 thumbs-up smileys for each word. • Flash cards respond to swipes, shakes, and taps • Customizable settings for up to 40 players • Player names and photos can be customized • Progress Report can be saved to Photo Library • D'Nealian, Zaner-Bloser, Times, Helvetica, Marker Felt, Chalkboard, and Noteworthy fonts • In-app Help documentation

8 of 24One of the most customizable Sight Word apps available. Can finally create a list to match what is being taught in class during that week. Over 1,500 words included ... no need to buy add on packages. Able to setup 5 accounts with different levels of difficulty (using with two girls K and 2nd). Would get 5 stars if you could type additional words into the database and add sounds and images.
It helped my brother
I've tried other sight word Apps and this is my favorite. I love that it comes equipped with Fry's word list as well as many others including the alphabet (separate uppercase/lowercase list), numbers (including spelling in separate list), family, shapes, and days of the week. I really like that I can customize my own lists. My kids learn 5 words at a time. I make my lists in the order they are being learned and include previously learned words for review. I got more than my money's worth with this app!
This was my very first app purchase and I have never regretted buying it!! It is an awesome app!! Highly recommend!!
Bought this to make a customized list for my son. Started to input his list from school and only 12 of the first 24 are in the system. Now I have to buy something else. May be useful when I try other lists already in there...
My son is now so much more confident!! He has moved Head and Shoulders above his classmates .... From a previous place of struggle!
We are homeschoolers and my daughter struggles to read. This app has proven to be the single best resources for her. She has mastered 9 lists in less than a week. We love this app!!
Just found this and love it! Was able to customize lists for my twins who are in Kindergarten. Only thing I wish I could do is add words to the list that aren't in the main list. My girls have 'word families' on their sight word lists from school and words like tip, sip, dip or jog, hog, fog aren't in there. Add that and this would make a 5 star app!
