Description

Designed to help children recognise and learn sight words!

Eggy Words 250 is an application designed to help children recognise and learn sight words. Sight words are words that readers should know automatically “at sight”, such as he, the, was and where. This app covers the first 250 sight words using a fun and motivating game to keep kids learning.

Learning to read is an important milestone in every child’s life. Knowing these sight words makes fluent reading easier, which lets the brain focus on the real enjoyment of reading – comprehension – understanding and enjoying what you read.

Good concept but display is too small

As the level is mastered the eggs not only move faster; they get smaller. The increased speed is challenge enough; the decreased size makes the words almost impossible to decipher. Creator should include an option to disable this feature for those of us limited to the smaller screen of a phone or iPod. I can't even see the words myself by the end of a round so imagine how frustrated my early reader is getting.

Pretty good

My son is 7 and likes this game, but it's not his favorite. This game has the student tap the chosen word they are learning printed on colored Easter eggs that leap and fall across the screen. "Obstacles" are in the form of words the child isn't looking for, rotten eggs, frying pans, pigs, etc. If they click the wrong egg or object, they lose one "life" (a green smiley face in the upper right hand corner). They can earn extra "lives" if they click on an egg imprinted with smiley faces. As the level progresses, the eggs come faster and some are smaller.

After successfully completing a level choosing the chosen word, the next level has the child spelling the same word from letters on Easter eggs delivered in the same way with the same obstacles. Letters must be chosen in the correct order, of course, and the letters are displayed after being chosen on the bottom of the screen. This helps reinforce both the reading and the spelling of the sight word.

This is a great way for a child to learn to read sight words.

The only downside I see is that although there are 3 different menu options for the child, they all play exactly the same game, although there are different sight words available on level one of each game.

We are homeschoolers and use this company's program, Reading Eggs. This app is a fun way to sometimes back up what he learns on Reading Eggs.

App not working

I was happy when my 5 year old took to the free version of Reading Eggs. I paid today for the full app and it won't even open. Needless to say I am out $2 and I have a disappointed kiddo. Don't waste your money.
