Endless Reader

What is Endless Reader?

Endless Reader is an animated educational game for teaching sight words to children six years of age and younger.

Endless Reader is available in the App Store and the Google Play Store. It is rated for users of all ages and features in-app purchases.

Preschool kids will love the cuddly monsters and animated sight words, which act out there definitions in order to increase engagement and retention of common sight words.

The Endless Reader app also uses interactive puzzles to underscore the definition and usage of words.

Endless Reader is a follow-up app to Endless Alphabet, which used a similar format to teach phonics and vocabulary. Endless Alphabet was arguably the more effective of the two apps, however, as the Endless Reader app can confuse kids by mixing phonics and sight word instruction. 

Sight words are often taught that way because sounding them out letter by letter doesn't work; the word “Taught”, for example, can't be sounded out letter by letter without needlessly confusing the preschoolers this app is designed for.

This app is also a fairly expensive way to teach sight words. While the animations are no doubt expensive to produce, the pricing on this app simply isn't competitive. The free version only contains six words, with expansion packs of twenty words each available for $4.99.
