Zingo, Sight Words is a fun and interactive word game that brings fast-paced excitement and learning to the classic game of Bingo. Players learn to quickly recognize and read sight words, which are words with spelling that is not always straightforward. Sight words are the most frequently used words in the English language and make up about 50-75% of all written material. Learning and mastering sight words is a key step in becoming a successful, fluent reader. The sight words used in this game have been specially selected by leading educators as the most fundamental for reading development.
My child is just begining to read but finds sight word flashcards and other teaching tools boring. She LOVES the slider in the game and was able to identify words after the first time we played it! I highly recommend this for kids in preschool or kindergarden who know their letter sounds but are resistant to flashcards and the like.

My kids ages 7 and 5 boys, both enjoyed playing Zingo Sight Words. The game is fast paced and exciting, they aren't even aware they are learning. ;) As we all know sight words are key in establishing reading fluency - this game makes it fun, more fun than flash cards for sure.
I received this game gratis from ThinkFun.

My five-year-old just started kindergarten and is learning to read. We were recently asked to review Zingo Sight Words from ThinkFun Games, and they could not have picked a better game for us. This is a great game that you play like bingo but with a chip dispenser that you slide forward to reveal 2 sight words. Every player gets a card, they are two-sided for 2 levels of competition. My husband and I played with our 3 and 5-year-old and it was a lot of fun. We could not believe the way our three-year old was jumping into play and recognizing the words. Our 5-year-old won 3 or 4 games straight in a row. Zingo Sight Words is a great game for kids learning how to read and it is fun even for the adults playing along. The kids love taking turns to work the dispenser and everyone had a great time.
