Brainscape's Pre-K sight word flashcards are the perfect way to help your child develop strong reading skills using a smart, science-backed learning platform.
If you’ve struggled to keep your little one engaged with worksheets, paper flashcards, or pointless "cute" apps, our adaptive platform offers an evidence-based solution. These digital flashcards use spaced repetition to reinforce key words at just the right pace, helping kids learn more effectively and retain vocabulary longer.
Parents love how Brainscape’s flashcards transform early reading into a more personalized and efficient experience. It's the boost your child needs to build confidence, stay focused, and get ready for kindergarten and beyond.
The Ultimate Pre-K & Kindergarten Sight Words Flashcards for Fast, Efficient Learning
Each pre-K and kindergarten sight word flashcard in Brainscape works like this:
- Your child is asked to verbally pronounce the word on the screen (e.g. girl)
- Your child then"flips" the flashcard, and the correct audio pronunciation is played twice
- Your child (or you) then rate how well they knew the word, on a scale of 1-5
- Brainscape uses that confidence rating to determine how often to repeat that word
If your child doesn’t know the word well, Brainscape’s intelligent algorithm will repeat that flashcard more often. And if they do know it well, it won’t show it again for a while; though it will still be repeated now and then so that they don’t forget it.
And that's it! As a parent, you can sit back and enjoy seeing your child make daily progress!
How Brainscape’s Kindergarten and Pre-K sight word flashcards help your child learn faster and remember for longer
The brain is hardwired to learn and remember information a certain way. The Brainscape™ flashcard app was born out of the question: what if we leveraged this hardwiring to help students learn more efficiently? Fueled by curiosity, our team of cognitive scientists from Columbia and Yale spent years developing a scientifically optimized learning platform to boost your learning.
Our "secret sauce" is a learning algorithm that delivers information to your brain in a way that optimizes its ability to retain that information. And it’s the spaced repetition of sight words at precisely the right interval for YOUR brain that makes Brainscape so effective for remembering the facts.
