Sight Word Buddy

Turn weekly sight word practice into something your family actually looks forward to. Custom lists, smart mastery tracking, and printable flashcards. All in one app.

Making flash cards every week for your child's sight words is exhausting and most apps don't solve the real problem: you need YOUR kid's actual list, not a generic one. Sight Word Buddy lets you build your own custom word lists, organize them by grade or by week, and track real mastery over time not just "did they see the word once."

FEATURES: Build Your Own Lists: Add words by typing, pasting a block of text, or snapping a photo of a worksheet — the app reads the words for you. Stay Organized: Group lists into folders (like "2nd Grade" or "Week 3"), set due dates for school quizzes, and get a reminder the day before. Real Mastery Tracking: A word only counts as mastered once it's answered correctly on 3 separate days — not just memorized in one sitting. Missed later? It drops back to "Practicing" automatically, so progress always reflects what your child truly knows. Swipeable Flashcard Reviews: Swipe right for "Got It," left for "Missed It" — missed words cycle back through the same session for extra practice. Tap the speaker icon to hear any word read aloud. Built for the Whole Family: Add multiple kids, each with their own independent progress — even when working from the exact same list. Still Want Paper?: Print laminate-ready flashcard sheets straight from the app. Standard Lists Included: Every Dolch list (Pre-Primer through 3rd Grade) and Fry's First 50 come built in. Your Data Stays Yours: No ads. No tracking. No accounts. Everything stays on your device (and your own private iCloud, if enabled) — we never see it, never sell it.

Built by a parent who spent years dreading the Sunday-night flash card scramble, for every other parent doing the same thing.
