Students with dyslexia are not less intelligent than their peers, they just process language in a different way. ☺️ĭo you use sight word apps in your room? I would love to know your favorites! Let me know below.Dyslexia is a specific learning difference that can affect spelling and reading skills in children and adults. I have even seen them creating their own secret codes after playing it. The app pushes the letters together and says the word. After they spell the word, they can try to read it. Students match the letter to the picture’s beginning sound. Students choose which words they want to practice. I saved my very favorite one for last! This app is so simple but so perfect for practice both sight words and beginning sounds! #DoubleDuty I tell my students that I love when they challenge themselves so they often choose the “hard” option which just gives fewer hints. When they click into a game, they have the option of “easy” or “hard” in the upper right corner. That adds the word to their Practice Words so they can go back and get extra practice with the ones they do not know! If they didn’t know what the word was, they can click a dot in the corner. Students can see the word spelled, say it and move on. The games are simple but look really nice and are engaging for students. They can also select Grade 1 or Grade 2 from the drop down menu at the top of the screen for a larger variety of words. This free sight word app has 6 different activities that students can choose from. Sight Words 2 : 140+ learn to read flashcards Learning games include, matching, bingo, and other identification games. I simply tell my students they can play the ones that are not locked. There are several learning adventure games that are free, but some are locked. When students tap onto the island, they are given the option to do flash cards or a learning adventure.Īll flashcards are free to use as much as they like. There is one for phonics skills, tracing, and two for sight words. This app has “islands” that have different learning themes. This is where airplane mode really comes in handy! Sight Words & Phonics Reading Note: this is an app that has an ad each time you click the “home” button. I love that they have the option to practice, identify, and create sight words in this app! In Spell the Word, they listen to a word and use the given letters to spell it. In Touch the Word, students listen to a word and tap the correct one. Students click the correct letter to finish the word. In Missing Letter, there is a sight word with a missing letter and three letters below. In Review, they are scrolling through words and can hear them said aloud. There are 4 free activities for students to do at each level. The opening screen for this sight word app allows you to select Kindergarten, First Grade or Second Grade. Once all of the gears are in place, the machine works! Sight Words Plus K-2 They tap the screen to hear a word and then find it on a gear. In Gears, all of the words are on gears on the bottom of the screen. In Word Machine, students listen to a word and select the correct one out of three options to put in the machine. There are two free games in this app: the Word Machine and Gears. □ Sight Words Learning Games & Reading Flash Cards If you don’t use WiFi, you do not have to worry about this. In my classroom, I turn my iPads on “airplane” mode so they cannot load any of the ads. Some have features that are locked if you do not pay. I chose these 5 apps because they offer ways to practice that I find valuable. There are many other apps that cost anywhere from one to ten dollars that are also great options! Note: I use free apps in my classroom because we do not have a budget to download several paid ones to all of the iPads. One of the folders on them is called “Sight Words.” It has five apps they can use during that center time. We have two iPads in our classroom that they can use during a dedicated technology center. You might as well use apps that are giving them the opportunity to practice important skills. Let’s face it, screen time is engaging for kids. I want any screen time in my classroom to be as purposeful as possible. If your kids are anything like mine, they love the chance to use technology. Some know one hundred while other are still struggling with “like” and “the.” My goal is to give all of my students enough practice and repetition to master our sight word list but it’s hard to fit enough of it into our day to reach every student. When it comes to sight words, my students are all over the board. That’s why I have these sight word apps available for them to use.īonus: They are free! We can teach sight words to our kids all day long but if they don’t get the chance to practice them, they will never be able to read them.
