Hairy Words 1: Teaching Sight and Tricky Words

Hairy Words 1 is an Android game designed for 5-7-year-olds, developed by Nessy Learning. The game is strictly educational and has no in-app purchases. It teaches spelling and typing while making it fun for children. The game consists of four mountains to climb and 12 levels of Hairy fun.

The game focuses on teaching the first 100 high-frequency Sight words and introduces Tricky words, which are phonically irregular words that cannot be sounded out in your head. Knowing these words is essential as they make up half of all written material. Lowercase keys help children to succeed. The yeti helper reinforces learning. Each time you spell a word, you’ll collect 3 Hairies, and tricky words give pink Hairies. When you have enough Hairies, you can play the game! To play, tap a Hairy to make it jump to the flag. Bounce on yeti bellies and escape from dangers.

Hairy Words 1 is a brilliant idea, and it is loved so much that it is chosen for reward time. As reviewed by Tina Tortoise, who uses it at work. The game is top-notch for developing areas a child struggling to read and spell will be weak in, as reviewed by Mummy Toot, who teaches 5-6 year-olds.
