How do I add a student profile?

On the profile selection screen, tap “Add New Profile” and enter the student’s name. Each profile tracks progress independently — great for siblings sharing a device.

How do I switch between students?

Tap the profile icon in the top corner of the home screen to return to the profile selection screen and choose a different student.

What word lists are included?

The app includes Kindergarten through 6th Grade word lists, each divided into four quarters. Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd Grade are free; 3rd through 6th Grade are part of Sight Words Pro. The Kindergarten and 3rd–6th Grade lists are drawn from the Dolch and Fry high-frequency word lists commonly used in elementary schools; the 1st and 2nd Grade lists follow an elementary classroom’s nine-week sequence. Some words appear in more than one grade on purpose — later grades review earlier ones, and each grade tracks its own progress.

What practice modes are available?

Flashcards and Quiz are always free. Sight Words Pro unlocks Spelling, Sentence Fill-in, Sentence Spelling, Speed Round, and Word Tracing.

What does Sight Words Pro include?

Pro is a one-time purchase ($3.99) that unlocks all practice modes, the 3rd–6th Grade word decks, custom word decks and CSV import, progress charts, streak and milestone badges, all accent themes, and support for more than 2 student profiles. Every Pro feature is free for the first 7 days. iCloud sync is not a Pro feature — it works for everyone.

How do I restore my Pro purchase?

Open Sight Words → Settings → Unlock Sight Words Pro, then tap Restore Purchases at the bottom of that screen. Make sure you’re signed into the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

Progress isn’t syncing across devices. What do I do?

Sight Words syncs via iCloud. Make sure iCloud is enabled on both devices under Settings → Apple ID → iCloud. It may take a few minutes for changes to appear.

Can I create custom word lists?

Yes. Go to Settings → Parent Settings (enter your PIN) → Manage Custom Decks to import a word list from a CSV file, then add, rename or remove words. Custom decks work with Flashcards, Quiz, Spelling, Speed Round and Word Tracing, and are part of Sight Words Pro.

How do I reset a student’s progress?

Open a grade, pick the quarter, then open Parent Settings from there and tap Reset Quarter Progress. This clears the Easy/Almost/Hard ratings for that quarter; session history is kept.

The words are read in a robotic voice. Can I change it?

Pick a voice and speed in the app under Settings → Voice. The app uses your device’s built-in US English text-to-speech, so for a more natural sound you can download higher-quality voices at Settings → Accessibility → Spoken Content → Voices on your iPhone or iPad.
