Description:
This program will help you teach your child the Dolch Sight Words, after they read the word correctly simply press the "OK" button to move to the next word.
If they are not able to say the word then pressing the "Again" button will have that word listed again after completing the entire list. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: The Dolch Word List is a list of frequently used words compiled by Edward William Dolch, PhD.
The list was originally published in his book "Problems in Reading", The Garrard Press, 1948. Dolch compiled the list based on children's books of his era. The list contains 220 "service words" that have to be easily recognized in order to achieve reading fluency.
The compilation excludes nouns, which comprise a separate 95-word list. Many of the 220 Dolch words can't be "sounded out" and have to be learned by sight. Hence the alternative term "Sight Words". Although the list is divided into grades, for native English speakers, all the words in the Dolch should be mastered by the end of 1st grade.

This program caused a fatal error on my Palm Visor.

I think it is great tool (to help my son) by the description alone. However, even though the requirement description indicates that it is for any hardware and OS, after downloading the program and trying it, it came back with a "Fatal Alert " message, something to do with bitmap deeper than device will support". If there is a fix that would be great, so that I can actually try it with my son.
