Half of everything an early reader meets on a page is sight words — the, said, have, are. Phonics doesn't crack them; they have to be recognised on sight. This is the game that drills exactly that, in five minutes a day.
You cannot draw them, and you cannot sound them out. That is what makes them hard — and what makes flashcards at the kitchen table so joyless.
Every game trains instant recognition from a different angle. The app picks which one to serve based on how well your child already knows each word.
Hears the word, picks it from look-alikes.
Spots the target among floating bubbles.
Places the letters in order.
Drops the word into a real sentence.
Reads the word out loud and the app listens.
Every right word lays a block, every miss knocks one off.
Two children take turns on the same tablet.
Behind a PIN, you see which words your child owns, which ones keep slipping — and what each one means in Spanish.
No account, no email, no sign-up, no analytics, no advertising. Every name, score and word list is stored in the browser on your own device.
The most common words in English — and most of them break the phonics rules children are taught.
No. It opens in the browser.
One session is about five minutes, and that is deliberate.
Yes — that is the point.
The interface and the parent dashboard switch to Spanish with one tap.
