Fry Words Games and Flash Cards

Great app that I use in an elementary Resource Room for students needing sight word practice. My only complaint is that the font makes certain words, like “first”, make the “f” and “i” run together and look like a weird “h”. Not the sort of thing struggling reader need. I’d give it a 5 star rating if that was fixed.

Through our local literacy center, I’m working with an elderly gentleman who doesn’t get phonics, but is able to acquire vocabulary by learning to recognize words. Unfortunately, his memory is very bad, so this app has been an immense help because of the multifaceted approach it offers to each set of 10 words. It offers the possibility of a lot of repetition without ever becoming boring. It’s been a godsend!

My daughter was a reluctant reader. She struggled and hated reading. I love this app for teaching these words to kids. The lessons are short and simple. We do them often. It's easy to do when we are on the go. Like standing in line at the store, or in the car, or anywhere. I had her do a quick lesson 3 times in a row. It's just 5 min spent here and there but because it's so repetitive before long she knew all the words like a pro!
