This is a great app for kindergarten through 3rd grade children. It
teaches a combination of high frequency and sight words (from the Dolch
Sight Word list). The list of 255 words was selected to cover words that
a child encounters most often when learning to read (high frequency),
including words that cannot be learned using pictures (sight words).
Learning to spell these words adds to a strong foundation in reading and
spelling for beginning readers. In this game, your child will help Cimo
the penguin reach an iceberg to catch fish. Each correct letter chosen
adds a block to his bridge. Finish the word and Cimo can cross, but
watch out for wrong letters, or Cimo will take a dip! This is the fun
game to improve your child's spelling abilities.
Also included is
a progress report for parents. The report allows them to track their
child’s performance in spelling the sight and high frequency words, and
provides play history with game details (i.e, On this date, your child
has played level 1 and level 2 and in each game, what item has been
asked and what your child has answered). An additional setup option
allows for a parent or teacher to customize the number of questions to
match their child. **In this new version, we add the options for
self-correction (i.e, kids could correct their answer in the second try)
and clearing out all the reports. This game will help your child
improve their reading skills in a fun and interactive environment.
Features
This
app is divided into 6 total levels to help children practice sight
words in grade appropriate levels (Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, or 3rd
grade), with one additional level for high freqency words. The final
challenge level mixes all the words together and adds incorrect letter
options to increase difficulty.
