While learning phonics is an important skill for beginning readers, sight words is another.

Why learn words by sight? Simply put, there are some words (also called high frequency words) that appear so frequently in reading that we want our readers to know them automatically, by sight. Just the first 100 words of Fry’s word list make up nearly 50% of what we read. Wow! Knowing these words automatically helps to increase fluency, which can also build comprehension and understanding.

Sight Word Lists The two most commonly used word lists for sight words are the Dolch word lists and Fry’s word lists. This Reading Mama has combined the two lists. They can be printed off for free on her blog (see link below).

Sight Word Games App You can find lots of sight word apps, Sight Word Games stands out because you can choose the sight words your learner works on! The games included reinforce reading and spelling of sight words. The games are fun and engaging for learners K-3rd grades.

User Reviews

Users consistently praise Sight Word Games for its customization and engaging learning games that let parents pick specific words and use it with multiple kids. However, the experience is marred by repeated issues with audio not working on many devices, limiting usefulness for instruction. Reviewers also report a confusing UI, limited or hard-to-find support options, and some learning activities that don’t reinforce word order or feel too challenging for young learners. Pricing and promotions are also a source of disagreement. Improvements in audio reliability, UI, and support would boost satisfaction.

Pros

Customizable sight word lists tailored to each child’s needs.
Engaging, well-designed games that kids enjoy.
Words to study can be chosen specifically, enabling targeted practice.
Useful for multiple kids and contexts (home, classroom, bilingual settings).
Viewed as effective extra practice for early readers.

Cons

Sound/audio not functioning across devices, making the app unusable for many users.
Poor or confusing navigation/UI; difficult to change words or use features.
Lack of accessible developer support or quick troubleshooting options.
Some games and learning activities don’t reinforce the target word order or are too hard for beginners.
Pricing/advertised price confusion and refunds issues.

Recent reviews

For those complaining about no sound. Either they fixed the bug or your phone was on vibrate. Make sure your phone volume is on and it works great! This has been great as extra practice for my kindergartener who struggles with sight words. I love that we can customize his list of words each time he has a new list come home from school.

I loved the idea of being able to customize a word list. However, it is COMPLETELY USELESS without sound. The sound worked on one occasion and now won’t work on any of my devices. There’s absolutely no way to contact anyone for support with this issue. Such a waste of money!
