Learning Resources Sight Word Swat

This feature is particularly helpful in a multi-age household or classroom setting.• Durable Components: The swatters and cards are sturdy and have withstood repeated use. The quality of the materials ensures longevity, even with enthusiastic players.Cons:• Limited Swatters: The game includes four swatters, which can be limiting if more children want to play simultaneously. Additional swatters would be a beneficial inclusion for larger groups.• Card Separation: Some users have reported that the word cards can split or peel over time, especially with heavy use. While this hasn’t been a significant issue for us, it’s something to be mindful of.Overall: This Game is an excellent resource for reinforcing sight word recognition in a fun and engaging way. It’s suitable for both home and classroom environments and caters to a range of reading levels. Despite minor drawbacks, the educational value and enjoyment it provides make it a worthwhile investment.

Pre-k kiddo loves this game!

This was a gift for my grandson. He was already introduced to and learning sight words. However this toy makes the learning of words much more fun. Would recommend I marked the age at 4 because there wasn't an 4-5 category. You can start early to learn words. Good for ages 4-6 (even reinforce at 7)

This is a fun way to "drill" sight words. It's kind of like using flash cards to drill them, but my kids are excited about it because they can to smack the fly when they are correct. They laugh as they hit these flies. I also love that they color code by grade level. We started with the blue because those are the easiest. I'm not guessing if they have been exposed to certain words because they separated by grade level. If my kids master their grade level, it will be nice to get a head start on the next set of words by color.The only downside I see is they are front and back. I cannot separate them into the 5 different color categories because they are 100% mixed throughout. I can only separate out one color at a time, so if I have 2 kids at different levels, I either have to separate every single time or buy a second set.

This game is so fun the kids don't realize we're learning a great game for early readers

I use this for my own 5 year old as well as my students at school. It makes the repetition of learning sight words fun for them and not so much of a chore.

I am a retired teacher who now enjoys watching her grandchildren. This game is not only educational, but fun! It’s a great way to learn and practice sight words. Would also be a great addition to a classroom!

My son was struggling with learning and retaining sight words and his teacher told me he needed extra help. I ordered this game and within a week, he can sound out, spell AND find the words in the 1st level. I am blown away! Making it a game made a HUGE difference and it’s amazing how well he is learning using this game! Highly recommend!!!!!
