About Sight Word Balloons
Want a switch-accessible app that helps teach and reinforce how to speak, read and spell words, all while playing a game? Crazy Balloons Words is an engaging, fun activity that will do just that!
Crazy Balloons Words was designed with input from kids, parents, teachers and therapists as a way for children to learn, and practice recognizing, high-frequency words - all while playing a balloon-popping game that’s easy to learn but also a challenge.
Why Crazy Balloons Words? PKCLsoft creates apps that are affordable, educational, engaging and accessible - because all children deserve to learn and become proficient communicators and readers.
The benefits of playing Crazy Balloons Words include:
• Sight word recognition skills increase
• Increased proficiency and fluency in reading
• Lots of audio processing practice
• Game play requires the player utilize visual scanning and visual discrimination skills
Educators will love being able to read a detailed report on each game a student plays and Crazy Balloons Words is also fully customizable:
• Create your own word lists, and share them via eMail, Messages or Airdrop.
• The app supports iOS 7’s localization features for both language and voices. Create word lists in other languages!
• Set up a profile for each player and tailor the game play to suit each child’s strengths and challenges.
• Easily turn sounds and music on or off.
• Select the speed of play, how many balloons appear on screen and how many questions there are per game.
• Want to focus specifically on sight reading skills? Turn off the audible prompts!
• You can adjust the pitch and speed of the audible prompts used.
• Or make the game more challenging by hiding audible and/or visual cues and turning off hints.
• The game can be played with a compatible switch interface or bluetooth keyboard and switch settings can also be customized.

Updated for iOS 8!
Please note dear user that due to a problem with iOS 8 that we have no control over, word lists in languages other than the default language do not function properly with iOS 8.
This issue has been resolved by Apple in iOS 8.1, and an update to the app has been submitted for review. As soon as that has been approved, the app will again be fully functional.
We apologise for any inconvenience in the meantime.

Wow! Thank you to everyone for your wonderful support.
Here's a small update to make some improvements to the multilingual word lists.
We've also slowed down the normal speed game on the iPhone and fixed a couple of minor bugs.
Have a great day, and if you like Crazy Balloons - First Sight Words, help us out with a review in the iTunes App Store!
Thanks.
