Super fun way to practice sight words
My 1st grader has to practice sight words daily for school but she hates spelling it out for me. I have been looking for a fun way for her to practice her sight words and this portable game is perfect for her! I love that there are two levels and she thinks she is just playing a game but she doesn’t realize that she is also learning too! This portable game is great to have kids practice in the car, at home, plane and just on the go. My child loves slamming the buttons and this game made learning sight words so much fun!

Great for homeschooling
This game is great for homeschooling and super portable! Love it!

Tried this game with my son in Year 1. It was a little too simple for him, but good for practising and a bit of fun. This will be great for my other son when he starts reception though, as it helps you with learning the missing letter or sound the word. Batteries are required but hopefully they won’t get drained too muc with this game.

Es un producto para niños entre 3 y 8 años; pero resulta entretenido incluso para adultos. Es obvio que no va dirigido para ese tipo de público, pero reconozco que estuve más de una hora usando las 2 modalidades de uso que presenta: rellenar letras, o palabras completas; cada una de ellas, con otros 2 niveles de dificultad.El audio es bastante decente, y aunque se echa de menos que hubiera más de una voz, evidentemente no es Alexa, o cualquier aplicación a las que estamos acostumbrados.Se lo he regalado a mi sobrino, que tiene 7 años, y le ha gustado bastante. E incluso reconozco que me ha quedado “pena” de no seguir probándolo.Si tuviera que ponerle algún “pero”, éste sería que la chica que habla tiene un acento demasiado cerrado, muy británico, pero se entiende a la perfección.También quizás se echa en falta un vocabulario algo más extenso, pero hay que recordar que esto no es para sacarse un nivel C2 de inglés…Tampoco trae pilas; y éstas van en un compartimento que viene atornillado, ideal para el público al que va dirigido.Y como parte positiva: pues todo lo demás; que, para un producto de este tipo, es mucho decir; ya que cada vez quedan menos juegos en el que los niños disfruten aprendiendo.No le pongo un 5 por esos pequeños detalles como la ausencia de poder elejir otra voz, el acento de la única que trae, la ausencia de pilas, y la falta de un mayor vocabulario, lo que puede hacer que se aburran en pocos días.

First impressions of this were good, it came in a colourful branded box that quickly got my 5 year olds attention. Albeit she did get a bit disheartened as it requires 3x AAA batteries which aren’t included so had to wait for us to buy some before she could play it.In use she’s found it fun to play and it’s been great to take on long car journeys to keep her entertained for some of the way. It is very much for educational purposes so she does lose interest after a while but will happily use if for a good 30 mins and is getting better at is so it does seem to be helping with her learning.The only negative for me, other than the batteries not being included, is that there’s no volume button and I find it really loud. Having a baby in the house who’s a very light sleeper means she often has to go in another room when she wants to play it as it wakes him up straight away. Would have been nice to have the option to turn it down a bit!Overall though this has been a good way for her to continue her learning over the summer holidays in a fun way so I’d be happy to recommend it!
