How to Play
Flash Cards
Children view individual sight words and practice reading them aloud. They can listen to each word being spoken and move through the cards at their own pace.
Listen and Choose
Listen carefully to the spoken word, then select the matching written word from the choices. This activity strengthens listening comprehension and word recognition.
Build the Word
The game says a sight word. Children use the alphabet keyboard to drag or tap letters into the correct positions to spell the word.
Unscramble the Word
The letters of a sight word appear in mixed-up order. Children drag or tap them into the correct order to complete the word.
Review Words
Children can revisit words that need additional practice, helping them build reading confidence through repetition.

Why Sight Words Matter

This game combines sight word recognition with listening and spelling practice. It works especially well alongside phonics instruction, reading aloud, and age-appropriate books.
