Sight words account for a large percentage of the words used in literature for children. (Sight words are commonly used words that children are encouraged to memorize as a whole by sight, so that they can automatically recognize these words when they see them without having to use any distracting strategies. When the child is able to do that they'll be able to concentrate on the meaning and comprehension as they read without having to stop to figure out the actual word.) One advantage for children being able to recognize sight words automatically is that the child will be able to identify the majority of words in a book before they even attempt to read it. All of the words are displayed in a forward facing manner.

The words are in the word search vertically, horizontally, and diagonally.

Simply slide your finger across the letters to form a word that's displayed on the left side of the screen. √ Customizable letter and background colors Help your kid learn and retain several words while having fun!
