Kids Independently Practice their First Grade Sight Words, in a Spelling Fort - Windows Software $19.99. Mastering the top 100 Sight Words gives early readers a big boost. These 100 words make up nearly 50% of all literature, yet they require the most effort to learn. Phonics, even picture flash cards can't help teach words like "the". Help your early reader turn these stumbling blocks into stepping stones. Give him or her Spell 1st With Spell 1st, your early reader will learn independently with talking animals in a cute baby's fort, under the kitchen table.

The silly pet dog will enunciate each word in a clear, recorded voice. Each of the ten photorealistic animals will use amusing facial expressions, keyboard tips and other creative reinforcers to help your child spell "TO", "THE", "IS" and 97 others. Your reader will smile when the ten animal coaches praise him or her by name. Even children new to the computer will be practicing in minutes, eager to score more points. You'll love how little adult assistance or "nudging" is needed. Learning independently is a joy for both parents and children.
