Why sight word practice helps
Reading gets easier
Kids can focus on meaning.
When common words come effortlessly, kids stop sounding out every word and can focus on what the story means.
You know what to work on
See their level and next words.
The 3-second check shows which words your kid already reads by sight, what level they're at, and the few words to work on next.
A few minutes a day
Short daily practice adds up.
Work on 3 words a few times a day. When a word is easy 3 days in a row, swap in a new one.
Kids feel proud
Every word is a win.
Every word they get is a step toward making the team, and a finished picture to hang on the fridge.
