ParrotFish - Sight Words Readi 4.02

Teaching Kids How to Learn!

Our program is designed to introduce children to various learning strategies naturally. Consisting of six games, each game focuses on a specific learning strategy and incorporates one of the three sight words lists (Fry, Dolch, M200).

We break down the word list into 22 smaller levels, starting from the most frequently used words and following a similar order to that found in most schools.

• Ideal for early readers, beginning readers, preschoolers, first-year students, kindergarteners, and readers experiencing difficulties with reading and recall of sight words.
• Explore the first three levels for free (18 games) or unlock the full version for a nominal fee equivalent to the price of a cup of coffee to show your support. Alternatively, you can directly purchase the EDU version.
