1. [R1] Sight Words Reading Games ABC 1/5 · US It sucks: It is so expensive, not to mention the a lot of the levels there is this thing you can fidget with causing my son not to do it. I HATE IT.
2. [R4] Sight Words Reading Games ABC 1/5 · US So unrealistic for prek: Our son is a very smart 5 year old and within a few minutes of playing with this app, I quickly discovered it’s too difficult for him. I’m very disappointed that I was charged without the option of a free trial and would like my money back
3. [R13] Sight Words Reading Games ABC 2/5 · US It’s ok: This game is ok but you can only do 3 of the activities and Thats it then you have to replay the games. and you can’t pick the grade that it’s on.so for someone who doesn’t want to buy the things of games it’s not that fun.
4. [R35] Sight Words Reading Games ABC 1/5 · US I’d give it i zero if I could: Literally only get three games then it tries to get you to buy the rest. annoying!!!
5. [R6] Sight Words Reading Games ABC 3/5 · US Help: It soft locks me in the bingo part really help me
6. [R16] Sight Words Reading Games ABC 1/5 · US iPad say GlobalSign cert not trusted: My kid was using this app fine for a while, but I updated it today and now iPhone doesn’t trust the app’s GlobalSign certificate. I have the option to bypass and continue to app but with today’s tech breaches and scam and malware I am over cautious and will be deleting the app. I tried to access app support from the App Store vs leaving a review, but the butto
7. [R18] Sight Words Reading Games ABC 3/5 · GB App crashes my phone: Really great app but it won’t close and I have to reboot my phone every time
8. [R19] Sight Words Reading Games ABC 1/5 · US Will not load: I have had nothing but difficulties loading this app since paying for the full version! My granddaughter loves playing this but it will not load for some reason. Very disappointed!
9. [R10] Sight Words Reading Games ABC 2/5 · US Too boring: Not enough “game games”
10. [R37] Sight Words Reading Games ABC 1/5 · US Flawed approach! Beware!: Teaching to memorize words rather than teaching kids to sounds words out. Linguists have shown this approach is deleterious and not how the human brain learns to read and write.
11. [R45] Sight Words Reading Games ABC 1/5 · GB Not for teaching in the UK: We don't teach children to read and write in capital letters in thus country, so sadly this was of no use to me.
12. [R47] Sight Words Reading Games ABC 2/5 · GB Could do better: This would be excellent if only they used lowercase letters.
13. [R49] Sight Words Reading Games ABC 2/5 · GB Good but flawed: Great idea and graphically strong and involving. Unfortunately all the letters are capitals which is no good for those just learning to read. I couldn't find any settings to alter to lowercase, which is a real shame. Plus it would be much better if you could specify the accent as it is very americanised.
14. [R7] Sight Words Reading Games ABC 1/5 · US Pronunciation issues: All three free games pronounce the word a as /aw/.
15. [R54] Preschool & Kindergarten Games 1/5 · US Gives you answers: I would love the game if it didn’t tell the kids the answers before they could figure it out
16. [R59] Preschool & Kindergarten Games 3/5 · US Gay may: Really good for my kids and so many games
17. [R60] Preschool & Kindergarten Games 1/5 · US Requires paid subscription: Requires paid subscription to access after short trial
18. [R61] Preschool & Kindergarten Games 5/5 · US Drew🩷🩷🩷: Trying to let my 3 year old grandson preview this before I buy a package please …
19. [R66] Khan Academy Kids 4/5 · US Age is annoying: So the game is really fun but the age range is to small I like it and I’m 11 so the highest it goes is 2nd grade even though older kids like it too. Just try to put the age range a little higher like maybe up to middle school, thats all I’m asking.
20. [R67] Khan Academy Kids 3/5 · US Too Simple: I’m homeschooling my daughter and the exercises are tedious and far below her ability. I raised her grade level to see if the activities would move faster and expect more from her and they were too slow paced. If you have a child that struggles to understand the basic problem solving process, this will be good for you.
21. [R69] Khan Academy Kids 5/5 · US So helpful: It’s been great for both the kids and for helping me remember math so I can help teach the kids! Thank you so much Khan Academy Kids!
22. [R71] Khan Academy Kids 5/5 · US Great learning tool!: Used for my grandkids, it’s fun and easy for each one’s level, great app!
23. [R79] Learn to Read 1/5 · US Maybe ok for neurotypical kids…: This is not the app for a kid with severe ADHD. The lessons were good, but the games being never ending is awful. We used it three times at less than 20 minutes per time before my daughter’s behavior afterwards was unbearable. The games are built to be addictive and it will have a negative effect on kids that already struggle with boundaries.
24. [R80] Learn to Read 5/5 · US Great App: My four year old can read small books now and my 2.5 year old was copying brother and can now sound out some words. Alphabet song is catchy too. Worth every penny.
25. [R83] Learn to Read 5/5 · US A+ Science of Reading App: This app was incredibly instrumental in helping my daughter learn to read. We started at the end of Kindergarten when we noticed her having some struggles with sight word retention and blending sounds. In addition, she was resistant to support because she knew she was struggling and felt frustrated. This app changed the game for her! She enjoyed doing her lesson each day
26. [R84] Learn to Read 3/5 · US It’s almost there.: It’s a great app for the most part. It’s is very engaging and intuitive which are probably its greatest features. However, I have a problem with the way some of the phonics are pronounced. The two biggest ones for me are the letter L being pronounced “ul” and the letter R being pronounced “er”. I think these words should be pronounced “luh” and “ruh” ideally removing the “uh” s
27. [R97] First Grade Learning Games 5/5 · US Gooooooooooood: Love it thanks again for the great games
28. [R98] First Grade Learning Games 3/5 · US FBL: Still fun but learning.
29. [R100] First Grade Learning Games 5/5 · US Is 🤩: And cool
30. [R101] First Grade Learning Games 3/5 · US My Review: Basically, you can’t do anything without giving money! I really do not recommend getting this app if you want a free learn to read app for your child!
31. [R109] ABC Kids 3/5 · US Not the best: The letter tracing is accurate but the letter sounds are not all correct, they add extra breath sounds or say some of them wrong. So don’t love the app for that. The matching is also difficult for a young preschooler because it goes too quickly.
32. [R111] ABC Kids 5/5 · US TiAnna: My kid now know shapes
33. [R112] ABC Kids 3/5 · US Overstimulating: The app is definitely educational, however it is extremely overstimulating. Every slide has very bright colors, things moving around in the background, music playing, confetti falling, whistling. That isn’t a healthy way to train the brain to be calm and learn. I find this app to do more damage than anything else. I really wish that the teaching aspect didn’t include so many unnec
34. [R113] ABC Kids 1/5 · US Best app ever: My 1.6m old can gladly name her abcs
35. [R17] Sight Words Reading Games ABC 5/5 · US Good: Good game for my pre k kids
36. [R30] Sight Words Reading Games ABC 5/5 · US GREAT: My 5year begs to play this game.
37. [R44] Sight Words Reading Games ABC 5/5 · US Granddaughter 5 loves learning on here: Great game for beginning readers
