This is a great app for use with early readers. For each level, students have access to several dozen sight words from the Dolch list. An appealing voice reads the word when students touch it. Blocks also appear to spell out the word. The letter on each block is read when you touch it. Students can choose a color (blue, red, green, or yellow) to use when they trace the word on the screen. Low-achieving students could easily use this app independently.
