Instructional Ideas

  1. Teachers can have students play this game independently as a reward or to reinforce a lesson about specific sight words. Afterwards, teachers can have students share their progress by having students write down the different sight words they used/learned on a piece of paper.
  2. After students have completed multiple levels in this app (e.g., five or more levels), teachers can have them first list the sight words they learned and then use those sight words to create simple sentences.
  3. Teachers can differentiate this app for students by picking different speeds using the age-level options before having students play the game.
  4. After students have completed multiple levels in this app (e.g. five or more levels), teachers can present them with a book or block of text and have students identify the sight words that they learned by annotating the text.
