Based on the Dolch Word List, this app inherits the child-friendly design and user-friendly interface that made First Words one of the top-selling educational apps for iOS. The latest enhancements make it an ideal tool for educational environments, travel situations, or leisurely settings:

• Every sight word is accompanied by a MINSPEAK® icon. Developed by experts in linguistics, speech pathology, and information technology, these icons offer clear visual representations for the complete core vocabulary.
• Word management functionality enables you to customize which sight words are featured in each word list. Tailor the selection based on word length, complexity, or specific letter combinations. Conceal distracting words and introduce those you wish to emphasize.
• Category management empowers you to regulate which word lists are accessible to users of the app, allowing you to focus on simpler or more advanced vocabulary or offer the entire range of words.
