About this game

Sight words are words that appear frequently in most of the text we read but can't easily be sounded out.

Learn the first 100 high frequency Sight words and introduce Tricky words!

Tricky words are phonically irregular words that cannot be sounded out in your head, children need longer to decode these.

Knowing these words is essential – they make up half of all written material!

• Lower case keys help children to succeed. Can we add info as to how/why?
• See a word, spell it and earn Hairies
• The yeti helper reinforces learning.
• Each time you spell a word you’ll collect 3 Hairies.
• Tricky words give pink Hairies.
• When you have enough Hairies play the game!
• Tap a Hairy to make it jump to the flag.
• Bounce on yeti bellies and escape from dangers.
• There are four mountains to climb and 12 levels of Hairy fun.


Designed for 5-7 years.

Brilliant idea. I use it at work and the game is loved so much it is chosen for reward time. Teaches spelling and typing while the children don't realise. – Tina Tortoise

These apps are amazing. I teach 5-6 year olds and they are top notch for developing areas a child struggling to read and spell will be weak in. – Mummy toot

How can this rubbish be promoted by school. I only installed because the school tapestry recommended it as part of October promotion for dyslexia. I'm surprised what poor quality product it is. Firstly only black screen. Hangs my fully updated galaxy S8 and complete rubbish. Took access to camera, mic, contacts and everything in mobile. Full breach of privacy. If it wasn't the school I'd never have installed it after reading the review... UNINSTALLED. DON'T KNOW WHO PAYS FOR THIS RUBBISH

I am sorry to hear you had issues with the app, it sounds like the app crashed on your device - did you try uninstalling and reinstalling? The camera, mic etc is a Google Play default - you can choose to deny this. Please contact us directly at info@nessy.co.uk and we'd be happy to help!

As always, Nessy delivers a great app aligned to the science of reading.
