As a school that has recently acquired Chromebooks, we are constantly looking for apps that teachers can use in their classrooms. Kids Sight Words offers one such quality app. Kids Sight Words would be especially beneficial for our elementary reading specialist.

I will be sure to make our elementary technology teacher and reading specialist aware of this fun (and free?) application.
