There is a new app for your iPhone that helps kids learn to read by identifying the most commonly used words in the English language. 22Moo recently updated an app for your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad called Chirpy: Dolch Sight Words Pre-Primer.
Chirpy is a cute little chicken who was created after reviewing feedback from parents, teachers, and kids from all around the world.
In 1948, Dr. Edward William Dolch made a list of the most frequently used words in the English language. The list consists of 220 words. Most of the words can’t be “sounded out” and have to be learned by sight. Sight words make up about 50-70% of general text.
You can download this app here for only $0.99.
