Learning Resources Sight Word Swat a Sight Words Game, Phonics Games, Educational Games, Ages 5+

Got this game for my first grader who is a slower reader. She's loving it, and has taken it to her aftercare program where all the kids around her age absolutely love. I definitely think it is helping with her speed and fluency. The quality is excellent, the swatters nice and robust and the flies made of really thick cardboard.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My grandson loves playing this game both alone and with his friends. I definitely recommend it for a child that likes active participation in learning.

I recently purchased this game for my first grade classroom! I bought it as a "Word Work" center, but it has turned into so much more. I have a college-aged volunteer who comes into my classroom on Mondays and Fridays. She plays it with my students in small groups. It's a huge hit with general education students, as well as my special needs students. It's a highly engaging, interactive way to reinforce all 220 Dolch sight words. I highly recommend this game for all K-2 classrooms!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] How much fun to have a swarm of flies (with words on them) and a miniature fly swatter! This game as 5 different level of sight (Dolch) words ranging from Pre-Primer level up to Third grade level. The various levels are designated by a different color of flies for each level. An adult calls out the words (flies are laying out in front of all players (1-4) and the first person to locate and swat the word first, wins the card. The player having the most card wins. The only difficulty I see in playing this game is if the players are not on/or about the same level of reading ability. The ability level needs to be somewhat similar in order that each player has a fair shot at winning. This is an excellent way to practice quick word recognition without the use of boring flash cards. Who wouldn't enjoy swatching at the flies???

I had a previous version of this product, and all the bugs were a consistent color. That is, a bug would be green on feont and back. Now bugs are one color on one side and a different color on the other. This means you can't separate them, but have to dump the entire bag and look for your colors (including on the backs of colotlrs you don't want.) In addition, the swatter shown on the box is actually in a cut-out section of the box top, which means the box just has a hole in it after you open it.
