Boredom! That’s why at K5 Stars we are working hard to keep children interested and engaged. Granted, becoming good friends with Sight Words requires lots of repetition, but we can make it more exciting with a variety of different games.

Take, for example, our Sight Words Bubbles game. Funny-looking bubbles containing Sight Words float around until your child picks the right one, as prompted. Correct answers are rewarded with cheerful sounds and encouraging graphics. Even a few minutes of daily play are guaranteed to improve the recognition of Sight Words without too much effort on your child’s part!
