Sight words are the small, common words that appear over and over in early reading: the, and, was, they. Most can’t be sounded out reliably, so they need to be recognised on sight — and the only way to get there is short, frequent practice.

  1. Pick a list, then tap Start.
  2. Read the word out loud.
  3. Tap Knew it if your child read it confidently.
  4. Tap Practise again if it was hard — it joins the tricky pile for next time.
  5. Use arrow keys (← tricky, → knew it) on a keyboard.
