SightWord Tiles is an engaging way for new readers to learn the words most frequently used in books at their reading level. Two different exercises allow readers to either practice new words by flipping over tiles that contain words from their custom word list, which can also speak the word when tapped, or test their mastery of words by having them find a spoken target word out of a group of tiles with words showing. Custom word lists for up to 4 different readers can be created and each reader can choose the images on the tiles and the number of tiles that will appear on screen during the exercise.

In practice exercises the reader taps a facedown tile to flip it over and expose a word from their list. Tapping an already exposed tile will play the word shown. When all the words are exposed the reader can reset the tiles face down and begin the process with new words from their list. This process can be done again and again with simple indicators showing how many times the reader has completed all the words on the list and how many words still remain.

In test exercises readers are challenged with a field of tiles showing words that they have practiced. At the push of a button a target word is announced and the reader must pick the target word out of the field of words. An indicator shows the readers correct and incorrect picks, and their average score. Another indicator shows how many words are still left to test. A hint button can be turned on to help readers struggling with challenging words.

Custom word lists are created from 316 words that conform to the Dolch sight word lists of high frequency reading words. Creating a word list is simple and quick. The setup screen contains a scrolling word list and simply tapping on a word will add it or delete it from the readers word list. Six different preset Dolch word groups can be used to select the bulk of the readers words and then the list can be further edited by tapping to exactly match their current vocabulary. An easy to use match-lock system provides protection for the list and does not require remembering passwords.
