Smiley Sight Words teaches high-frequency sight words to your child!
The 1,600+ sight words included with Smiley Sight Words comprises up to 85% of the text in a childs early reading materials. A child who can recognize just 8 of 10 words in a sentence can typically understand its meaning! "Sight words" often cannot be illustrated via simple pictures or sounded out according to regular phonetic decoding rules, thus they need to be learned and recognized "on sight". Smiley Sight Words is a handy way to keep track of and encourage a childs mastery of their sight words.

Pros and cons of Smiley Sight Words app for iPhone and iPad
Smiley Sight Words app good for
Thank you for another great program... I have purchased 3 of your programs and love them all... Looking forward to more great apps from you!!
Any thoughts on an app like this for building sentences???
Cheers!!!
Love this app! My son has so much fun with it, he doesnt even realize that hes learning. Well worth the $1!
We have at least 6 other sight word apps, and this is by far the best!! Its an INSTANT HIT.
THE GOOD:
Its simple, easy to use, TONS of levels, encouraging, and repetitive. Even better... the ability to have multiple players, with their own skill levels...AND customize it with their own pictures is absolutely wonderful.
COUPLE OF SUGGESTIONS to the developers:
I recommend this app to ANYONE.... But you cant find it in the iPad apps. It was very hard to find. :( Do an update so you can easily find in the iPad apps section in the future.... IPad users will LOVE it. :)
In the next update, please make it more iPad friendly and be able to flip to the landscape view. I have my kids sit on the couch with their legs crossed and the iPad in their lap (Im completely comfortable doing this IF its in the landscape view, less so with it upright).
Theres also some kinda bug when youre looking at the scores/word list, or something (sorry dont remember exactly where), but there is no back button. You have to completely exit the app to get out of it. BUT this doesnt take away from this being a 5 star app for me.
WE LOVE IT.... THANK YOU FOR A GREAT APP!
Was glad to find this APP. We needed the ability to have more than one user. Good interface that the kids are enjoying. The reward ribbon helps keep them motivated. Have found a few bug issues and the program has crashed a few times, also would be nice to have it listed in the iPad software. The teach me kindergarten from this developer is much better than any program I have found for my kids, with some minor fixes this has the potential to be a Great program. If/when it is updated/fixed I would give 5 stars. I would love the app had a reward set up like the teach me kindergarten app, my kids go nuts for that one, but they are getting to old for it.
I have been using this app to work with my first grader and kindergartner and they both really enjoy it. As a parent I find it very helpful in getting them prepare for spelling and vocabulary tests using the customize feature. I am unaware of any other word application with this many features and would recommend it to anyone who has little ones in school.
This app is fantastic! Utilizing the flexibility of the customized lists & the ability to choose specific words from the pre set lists; this app can be tweaked to present words from a phonetic focus -instead of sight memorization. Today we did words with the "e" sound and my daughter enjoyed sounding out the unfamiliar words, then self checked her answer by touching the word & listening to it voiced back. She gave herself the smiley face with joy! 1500+ words to choose from, and I didnt have to type any of them.
Some bad moments
Bought this to make a customized list for my son. Started to input his list from school and only 12 of the first 24 are in the system. Now I have to buy something else. May be useful when I try other lists already in there...
I thought this was going to be perfect for my kindergarten class but what am I supposed to do with 5 profiles? I cant even buy more.
This stinks
