About Sight Word Scholar
Help the new reader in your household with this fun sight word quiz game modeled after the exercises my daughter’s first grade teacher suggested we use.
• Quizzes from 6 different word lists – first, second, and third 100 sight words, sight phrases, nonsense words, and a custom word list that you can modify.
• Each set contains 100-200 words or phrases, twenty of which are randomly selected for each game.
• Selected words are randomly cycled through allowing the reader press thumbs up if they know the word (earning a tick mark) or thumbs down if they don’t.
• Once a word has three tick marks, it will not show up again during that game.
• Once all the words have three tick marks, the reader is greeted by applause and a personalized win screen.
• Touch the word to hear it read aloud.
• Add/remove to custom word list button that can be used If a word is giving the reader particular trouble. Then switching the word set to Custom will focus on only the tricky words.

the directions in the app tell us to use the "Menu" button to create custom words. There is no menu button.

My reluctant reader enjoys this app. I like how he can read the word first and then hear the word if he needs help. Also, by focusing on 20 words at a time, my son stays focused and enjoys the positive reinforcement when finished.

Some words have messed up voice. Could = pit. Was = wiz

Excellent learning tool. I looked at a handful. It's effective at meeting its objective. I appreciate that it's not subjecting young children to another advergame. "No permissions" +1

It's just a bait and switch scheme. This is year 2013 and yet some people think you must be an IDIOT when you buy an app for your kids. Can't they just put the price upfront and let people make informed decisions? C'mon!!!

My first graders like this more than the index cards. So intuitive and they are improving their vocabulary rapidly. Great work, uncorked!

Uninstalling. Would give it 0 stars if I could. Has no sound for feedback for the child to hear if he or she is correct on the word.
