I recently had the opportunity to review the app “Sight Words Learning Games & Flash Cards” by 22learn, and I’m impressed with its comprehensive approach to teaching sight words. As an educational tool designed for young learners aged 2-7, this app stands out in several ways.
First and foremost, the app’s content is extensive, covering all 220 sight words from the widely-used Dolch list, plus an additional 94 nouns. This thorough coverage ensures that children are exposed to a wide range of essential vocabulary for early reading development.
The app’s structure, featuring six different educational games, keeps learning engaging and varied. This multi-game approach helps maintain children’s interest and caters to different learning styles. I particularly appreciate the inclusion of 314 flash cards with both male and female voice options, as this feature supports auditory learning and proper pronunciation.
From a pedagogical standpoint, the app’s focus on sight words is crucial. As someone familiar with early literacy development, I understand the importance of recognizing these high-frequency words that don’t follow typical phonetic rules. Mastering sight words is indeed a significant step towards improved reading fluency.
The user interface appears to be child-friendly, which is essential for independent learning. However, I would need to test the app hands-on to fully evaluate its ease of use and effectiveness.
One aspect that stands out is the app’s popularity, with over 40 million users. This large user base suggests that many parents and educators find value in this tool.
While the app seems comprehensive, I would be interested in seeing how it adapts to individual learning paces and whether it offers progress tracking for parents or teachers.
Parent review
I was so excited to use this app because my friend has it on her Apple phone for her child and she loves it. On the Android I could not type in my child’s name, or go back, or even start the game once I clicked on the character. I bought the full app and will be returning it for a refund.
