SightWord Practice

Sight words are the words a child learns to recognize on sight rather than sound out — the, and, see, where — and most of learning them is simply practice. SightWord Practice is a deck of flash cards for exactly that, built for a parent and a child sitting together. Make a list, type in the words from this week's homework, and practice. Your child reads the word; you tap whether they got it. That's the whole loop. START PRACTICING IMMEDIATELY The classic Dolch Pre-Primer and Primer lists are built in — 92 words, no typing and no download. Add them with one tap and start. MADE FOR THE WORDS YOUR CHILD IS ACTUALLY LEARNING Nothing is locked. Type in the list the teacher sent home, make one per week or one per unit, and rename or edit them whenever the list changes. Drag lists and words into whatever order suits you, or sort them A–Z, by date, or by which words need the most work. PRACTICE THAT LEANS ON THE HARD ONES Choose a single pass through a list, or keep going until you stop. Words that get missed come round more often than words already known, so time goes where it is needed — or turn that off and keep every word equally likely. HEAR THE WORD Tap the speaker on a card to hear the word said out loud, or play Listen & Pick: your child hears a word and finds it among four, and it counts toward that word's record like any card. Choose the voice, or hide the speaker if it gives the answer away. SEE HOW THE SESSION WENT Every session ends with the words split into what went well and what needs practice, so you know what to work on tomorrow without keeping a tally in your head. KEEPS TRACK WITHOUT KEEPING SCORE AT YOUR CHILD Each word quietly remembers how it has been going, and recent sessions count for more than old ones — so a word your child has finally learned stops being treated as a problem. There are no points, streaks, badges, or anything designed to keep a child tapping. SHARE A LIST WITH ANOTHER PARENT Send a list to another family by Messages, Mail, or AirDrop, and they can open it straight into the app. Lists carry only the words — never your child's practice history. MORE LISTS WHEN YOU WANT THEM Download further ready-made lists, including more of the Dolch sets, without typing anything in. CHOOSE HOW IT FEELS Cards can slide, flip, fade, or change instantly, and the app respects Reduce Motion. Celebrate with confetti, fireworks, balloons, or sparkles — every right answer, only a good session, or not at all. NO ACCOUNTS, NO ADS, NO TRACKING No sign-in. No advertising. No analytics. Nothing is collected about you or your child, and nothing is sold or shared. Your lists stay on your device and sync through your own iCloud account, which we cannot see.
