Who it is used with
Some words should not need sounding out: the, was, said. Sight word practice is often used with:
Start on Level 1: two choices, three-letter words.
How to use it
Hear a word
It plays by itself. Tap the speaker to hear it again.
Tap the word
Tap the written word you heard.
It moves on by itself
Or tap Skip. After 10 words the set is done.
Modes
One mode: hear it, tap it. The words are the most common words in English, from short to long.
Hear and tap
Hear a common word. Tap it among 2 to 4 written words. Within a set the words go from short to long.
Ways to get through it

Hint
One step at a time: wrong words fade away, then the right word lights up, then the answer is shown.
Levels
Level 1: 2 choices, three-letter words. Level 4: 4 choices, words of five to seven letters.
The method behind it
Whole-word reading. Recognising high-frequency words on sight, without sounding them out.
