We’re glad you asked! (You didn’t, but go with it.)
Sights is a classroom-connected sight word platform that teachers and parents use together (for free!) to help children learn to read.
Sights is comprised of two parts, one for teachers and one for parents:
Teachers use the free Sights Dashboard for Teachers, a sight word management dashboard for managing their sight word lists & levels, testing students in class, and tracking individual and classroom student progress.
Parents use the free Sights App for Parents, a classroom-connected flashcard app that is synced with their child’s sight word curriculum.
Cool, right?
Cool! But how does Sights work?
Sights works by syncing a sight word management and testing tool for teachers with a sight word studying app used by parents and students at home. By connecting parents and teachers, simplifying in-class testing, and allowing teachers to track student’s at-home study progress, children ultimately learn to read sight words 3X faster.
Yep, you read that right.
With Sights, children learn sight words 3 times faster.
Getting started with Sights
To get started, Teachers create a free Sights classroom and assign a sight word list to it — choose from multiple Dolch and Fry lists, or create your own! Teachers will then distribute their unique classroom code flyer* to parents. The flyer will give parents the instructions they need to sign up for the Sights App for Parents using the code on the flyer. *The classroom code is what connects your dashboard to the Parents App.
As soon as a parent signs up for the App using the classroom code, their child will show up as a student in the Teacher Dashboard. This way, the child’s teacher can see their at-home study progress.
Teachers are responsible for testing students in class and moving students UP to the next level of sight words once they’re ready. As soon as a teacher moves a student to the next level, a push notification is sent to the parent’s phone, and the Sights App for Parents is automatically loaded with the new level’s words.
Learning to read just got a little bit easier for everyone.
Teachers, set up your Sights Dashboard for Teachers today. You’ll thank yourself later.
