Sight Word iPad Apps

As a mother of a 3-year-old, I have discovered one key to learning almost anything:  TECHNOLOGY!  We have in our household an iPad, iPod, Android phone, Kindle Fire, Dell Laptop, and Dell Desktop.  This tech savvy little girl knows apps, games, programs, etc. for each device!  They keep her attention in times of need (waiting in line at the drive-thru, doctors' appointments, etc.) and provide an alternative to mindless television programs. 

My point is this:  if our children desire to use technology, then let's use it to help them LEARN!  There are a variety of sight word applications available for the iPad along with other devices. 

One of my favorite sight word apps is from "Alligator Apps" entitled, simply enough, "Sight Words."  This app provides slideshows of Dolch Words (something I've already posted before), but it offers sound!  A child can open the app, choose their list, and hear the words spoken.  Another great feature of this app is a teacher or parent can create new lists and record their own voices.  This also allows an adult to create lists with fewer words so as not to overwhelm a new or struggling reader.
