Does your child beg to use your iPhone? Ever hand her your iPod Touch while standing in line or driving to soccer practice? Get Dolch Sight Words and use these opportunities to make your child a better reader. Dolch Sight Words has several advantages over traditional flash cards:
- Includes spoken versions of words, so children can practice on their own when adults are busy
- New words can be easily created and recorded
- Bright colors and sounds engage children
- More convenient than fumbling around with paper cards
- You can practice whenever you have a few moments and your iPhone handy
Many elementary school teachers expect students to practice sight words regularly. Make it fun with Dolch Sight Words: Learn to Read!
RECORD NEW WORDS AND CREATE NEW LISTS
In addition to the included talking Dolch flash cards, you can create your own spoken flash cards (iPod Touch users will need an external microphone to record). This is great for helping children practice the word lists they are currently learning in school! The lists you create can include both the included sight words and the words you create, so you create a list that is just right for your child's needs.
INCLUDES ALL DOLCH WORDS AND RECORDED PRONUNCIATIONS
Includes all 300+ Dolch sight words. These words were selected by Edward William Dolch, Ph.D. They are the words he encountered most frequently in a survey of children's books. Many of the sight words are difficult to sound out, so it is important that children learn to recognize them by sight.
EASY NAVIGATION AND COLORFUL INTERFACE
Large, colorful buttons make it easy for children to practice on their own. Bright colors, sounds and animated transitions keep children engaged.
