Sight Words Hangman App Reviews

Fun way to learn sight words! My kids (5 and 9) like this app very much especially the hangman. The game is very easy to play and has great educational value.

The game is pretty basic. If you select the correct word (from about 5 words), it pronounces the next word to select. If you get it wrong, the hangman gets activated. When he is complete, you lose. It would be much better if you had to actually spell the word, not just click on it from a list. Also mix and match list would be great and more option of words. This game is just really basic.

This truly is basic but in terms of literacy facilitation it has flaws. The words that are listed along with the target word should be similar to the target word in either spelling or pronunciation, so we know the child is truly reading and not just using their knowledge that the word presented starts with an s so they choose the ONLY word in the list starting with s. My 8 yr old is completely bored by this. Would have liked to see an option to spell words, perhaps, too. I also have concerns about the words chosen for the lists, if this is truly aimed at 4-6 yr olds learning sight reading. Some more phonemically advanced words are mixed with simple words. Thankfully I got it during a free promo.

This is a really nice way for our son to learn sight words. The app has flash cards and setting can be made harder so that it isnt as easy to guess. Its easy to use and has no ads. Neat app!

This is great for kids a little more advanced than my special needs daughter for the game part but love the flash card portion for her!

This is a great way to introduce a classic game to a new generation!

kids love hangman and this is handy to have with us. They enjoy it and learn some things so Im happy.

What is with the apps that require hearing to play but offer no sound???

Our son loves this and so do we because the game is one we can play together! Our favorite kind! Update - With more words this app is growing with our son and is ready for our younger son. Great App! (and no sound issues here - watch that mute button)

I was impressed by the clear male voice that prompted each game and sounded off the words. Theres also pleasant background music that adds to the game. This is a nice choice for those looking for a sight words drill.

It was great to see my kids have a blast playing an educational game! If my kids are going to play games on the iPad, this spelling game is one I would recommend to parents.

Great concept for an app for all ages. Who hasnt played hangman? Clear voice instructions, simple and engaging graphics make this a great teaching tool for early learners. Also great for moms & dads to play along too. Added bonus: simple flashcards.

It truly is cheap and useless app. Dont buy.

This is a really fantastic app for sight word practice and play. My kids think this is a game, but I know theyre really doing academic work (wink, wink). :) I like the large variety of words that are used and the ability to get an accuracy score at the end. Highly recommended!

We like to practice our sight words with this game! I like that it has 2 difficulty levels and lots of word lists! It is so engaging, the kids like to play it over and over! It would be neat if we could enter our own word lists, too, to practice specific words from the classroom. Maybe you could offer other options of play, not just the hangman...maybe make a bunny or something! Thanks!

As a teacher, I am always looking for new apps to help my students practice their basic skills. With sight word hangman, students are able to practice their sight words. I really like the result feature which allows parents to view their childs progress with each list. This gives parents the tools they need that will help them guide their childs learning.

This is a great app for my daughter to learn her sight words. She likes the challenge of the hangman game itself which pushes her to learn more. I like the graphics that are simple, yet entertaining.

Very awesome app my daughter loves this app

Sight words hangman is cute and simple. The game is classic with a simple twist that is easy to follow. Sight words are presented in a multiple choice format. Cute graphics. Easy access to options and user friendly for adults all the way down to my tiny kindergarteners. Another feature that would be appreciated/I expected to see and didnt is how I envision classic hangman: a way to play where the kids could guess the letters of a sight word one by one until they figured it out. This would certainly help with the breakdown and spelling of the words. The flash cards are also great but once again, I could use a spelling option (i.e. have the voice say the word and the child have to enter it in using the keypad).
