Description
** App Store's Editor's Choice **
*From the team at ORIGINATOR - the creators of the beloved Endless Alphabet and Sesame Street's Monster at the End of This Book and Another Monster.... Originator is a team of passionate artists and engineers dedicated to the best education+entertainment apps for kids.*
As a follow-up to Endless Alphabet, set the stage for early reading success with Endless Reader! This app introduces "sight words", the most commonly used words in school, library, and children's books. Kids need to recognize these words by sight in order to achieve reading fluency. Recognizing sight words is advantageous for beginning readers because many of these words have unusual spelling, cannot be sounded out using phonics knowledge, and often cannot be represented using pictures.
Kids will have a blast learning sight words and their context and usage with the adorable Endless monsters. Each word features an interactive word puzzle with letters that come alive, and then a sentence puzzle with words that become what they describe. See the word "dog" as a barking dog, and the word "up" reach for the sky!
** NOTE: You must be online and have sufficient disk space while running the app to get all words in the app. **
Features:
- 6 words free to try with additional word packs available for purchase.
- Delightful animations reinforce sight recognition of words in a fun and interactive way.
- Word puzzles reinforce spelling using lower-case letters and the sentence puzzles teach definition and usage (in addition to sight recognition).
- 3D Touch on iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus makes letters and words react in an extra special way!
- Endless Reader was designed with your children in mind. There are no high scores, failures, limits or stress. Your children can interact with the app at their own pace.

Not really sight words
I like this game for my 4 year old daughter however I think it is a stretch to describe it as learning “sight” words. It certainly gets her to match the coloured letter(s) scattered around the screen and drag them to their position in the word which is in the middle of the screen in hollow letters and it does then say the word once completed, but I, personally, wouldn’t say this is the same as using flash cards.
2018-06-30
Unacceptable accent
There should be an option to choose different accents, or to record new audio for each card if desired, because not only does my child not understand what some of the words are in the accent provided, she's going to be told that she's saying them wrong if she says them like that at school. A more neutral accent would have been a better choice.
2018-06-26
Already paid
Please restore my extra purchases. Occasionally devices to need to be replaced and reloading is required. My three young children use these apps and I have spent a lot of money getting your full packages but am unable to restore those purchases.

Brilliant app
I have this app for my granddaughter who is 2 1/2years old. She enjoys the interaction along with being challenged.. she’s a smart little SweetPea. I’m amazed how quickly she learns. I do still limit her time! Fantastic educational tool
2017-09-05
Umm a bit pricey for what it is!
What a joke who would pay that kinda money for a virtual flash card. Very dumb
2017-08-29
Clever girl!
I do like the app but I mostly don't play on it. 😐😐😐 but my two little sisters can play on it!!!!
2017-08-29
Highly recommend this app!!
Wonderful app. My son has learnt so many words from this. And even when I write the words down myself he is still able to recognise the words and read them. For a baby that was in and out of hospital and had to play catch up with his development and especially with talking this app has help him so much. I love it!! For me I would also recommend to not buy all the words straight away stick to the free ones for a while then as your baby learns the words add more to them. It does cost a little bit but fully worth it.
For me and my baby anyway.
2017-07-31
Beautiful
Such a beautiful, fun and educational app, my 15 month old loves it!
2017-07-07
Learner lover
I actually think my son is learning from this app! He was really un smart but just after 3 days, he was super smart!
2017-07-01
Great for learning to read
My boys love this app, they learnt to read so fast!
2017-05-05
Keeps crashing after update
App opens then crashes as soon as "loading" disappears. For such a pricey app, this is just unacceptable.
2017-03-06
Awesome
Cool
2017-03-03
Priceless
My 4 year old son loves this app and I can't imagine what I would do without it at times when I need to occupy him quietly and with this app I am guilt-free as it's totally educational as well.
2017-02-11
Can't buy packs
My daughter loves the app. When I try to buy a pack for her. The app makes a weird noise and then crashes.
If you fix this issue I will give 5 stars.
2016-11-03
Would love to see more of your great work
I love everything about the endless reader, alphabet and numbers. I love watching my twin 6 year old boys play and learn from it. Would love to get levels 9, 10, 11, 12 for them soon. Would love to see if you guys could create a writing program just as colourful and just as noisy.
Thanks for the great work
Would love to see if you can do an app for kids

Expensive but worth it
This app is brilliant, essentially it's a fun, engaging and in depth learn to read tool. Yes it's expensive, but this is a valuable skill and this app is effective. Keeping your toddler occupied whilst they're learning? Priceless
2016-07-26
Brilliant but way too expensive to buy full version
My 4yo loves this app but got bored very quickly with what's included in the free version and would like to progress. But it's almost $50 to purchase all the packs - ridiculous. Please make this more affordable for parents!
2016-05-23
Cost too much
App has too many in store purchases. Would be great app if cheaper.
2016-05-17
Endless Fun
My 2 yo loves this program! Best purchase to date!
2016-03-15
Perfect
Absolutely brilliant. Bought it for my 18 month old and she loves it. She's having so much fun with it and learning so fast. I can't recommend this enough.
2016-02-12
Fab!
This app is the best! I recommend it to all my mum friends!! 👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻
2015-12-15
Engaging
Very engaging and imaginative. My son loves it.
2015-11-08
Amazing!
Best educational kids app I have used. Not sure who loves it more, me or my daughter 😛
2015-10-04
Very happy
My 2.5yo daughter loves this app, I would love it if you added a feature where I could add her name to the letters so she could learn to spell her name while playing.
2015-09-13
Not worth it
Yes ok it's free to begin with and I can but up with the app only going up to the letter f before I have to buy more but I am so glad I didn't buy anything as this game just kept crashing. Ended up deleting it. Not worth the download.
2015-07-17
Kids love it!
I really like this app a lot. I started looking at other apps and they absolutely paled in comparison when it came to having my child interested in interacting with the app!
A couple of things would make this app unbeatable:
As other reviewers have mentioned - it would be great if the words were actually the developmental sight words - a, the, is, and so on. In Australia we use the “Magic 100, 200, 300” and i’m sure there are similar lists in the UK and USA.
Secondly I’d prefer if the words could only be spelled in order - so for Jump the J must be placed first, then the U etc. - reinforcing that it is the order of the letters makes the word a word.
2015-05-30
Good game
I bought this for my 1 year old son he uses it almost everyday, now he can put together little words like 'hello'. I bought the 2nd pack and now his learning how to put together bigger words, it's cartoon like so it keeps the kids attention to it He enjoys playing it, I strongly suggest this for anyone with young children.

Brilliant. Really helped grandson with diagnosed speech delay. He could play at 20 months old(alone or with us) and loves it. Speech and vocabulary at 26 months now very good and talking in correct sentences 5-7 words, plus big vocabulary. Fun for us and him. Recommend for fun or speech.
2015-04-26
Brilliant
My 3 yr old loves it
2015-03-17
Great app
I downloaded this app for my 18mo - she's using the free level 1 words that come with it. It's been so fantastic that I'm going to buy the bundle for $37.99 - it's absolutely worth it!
2015-02-08
Great App!
This is a great app! I also really like the way the words look like their meaning :)
2014-12-15
Fun and educational
I got this app for my grandsons to use on my iPad. The 5 yr old is learning to read and it's a great way to make it fun for him. My 4 yr old grandson who is autistic, also loves the app and enjoys the interaction and the sound effects.
2014-11-12
Great app
My 2 year old reads along with this app
2014-10-30
Super duper great app for toddler
My daughter love it
2014-09-24
So good
We just love this app, thank you so much to the creator.
2014-09-13
Letter sounds need changing
Great program, BUT the animation needs to make the correct sounds for the letters and then heaps of schools would purchase this app. As it us now, our school won't purchase this app as it teaches a silly sound for the letter as you move it into place. This is confusing for young children learning their letter sounds. Please update endless reader and change letter sounds to the correct sound we teach in schools. Thanks
2014-07-28
Just fantastic!
I cannot recommend this app more for pre school kids and older! My son has learnt so much, thanks for this awesome app.
2014-07-20
Very effective
My six year old has been taking a while to learn to sound words out, so I bought this app for her and watched the animations. Combining this with other activities, I saw rapid improvement. When she went back to school after the holidays her teacher noticed immediately that she had started to sound words out, and I credit the cute and engaging animations in this app for that.
If I could suggest one possible improvement, it would be with the consonant clusters like ‘ch’. Now that she has used this app quite a lot, I have to try and get through to her that when ‘ch’ and ‘th’ etc appear together, they should be counted as one phoneme rather than two. I’m sure she will pick this up before long, but I would love it if the Endless Reader folks could count these clusters as a single sound rather than two separate ones, in the relevant words.
2014-07-06
Fantastic! A great investment.
Brilliant app! Great fun and very well made.
2014-06-22
Educational Sensation!
This App is awesome - the words, pictures & vocals help my 2 year old to read and identify words!
2014-06-04
Great for kids!
My 2.5yo and 4.5yo love their "monster" game and practise the sounds all the time!
2014-06-01
Brilliant App!!!
One of the best learning apps online!
2014-05-23
Going to be purchasing the next app
Great app my almost two yearold daughter loves this and endless numbers
2014-05-15
Love it
I have two kids and my oldest is 20 months old. I have started her on it early then what the app is rated for but she loves it and saying a lot of the words in the app.
2014-02-26
Brilliant
Excellent idea, well implemented with lots of content. Suits my 3yr old perfectly and he is a discerning customer.
2014-02-03
Greatest kids app ever
My sister is 4 and she couldn't read a single word this app thought her, her first word (all)
2014-01-19
Brilliant!!
This app is one of the best apps I have ever downloaded. My 2 year old loves it! She never wants to put it down!
2014-01-05
2 year old loves it
The most educational game she has.
2013-12-28
Great app for kids
My 4 yo enjoying it very much. Really a great application with a simple and intuitive game play
2013-12-19
Needs Educational Support
Excellent graphics and entertainment however this app needs an educational perspective. The developers need to research what constitutes a "sight word". They might also like to reconsider their pricing.
One positive for this app is in its treatment of words at a word, letter and sentence level. Maybe provide the option for users to switch between letter names and phonemic sounds. Better still, allow the user to record their own to overcome pronunciation concerns.
Keep developing!
2013-12-17
"rate me 5 stars" pop ups mid game
It's a beautiful app and my kid loves it. But it keeps popping up a screen saying "rate me 5 stars" in the middle of her playing with it.
I kept hearing her scream "dad! There's a thing with letters. What do I do?" interrupting her play and making her angry.
Pretty doubtful the audience of this app would be able to rate it, so why annoy them with this? I'm sure many parents would gladly rate it anyway without prompts like this. I've rated highly other apps by this developer. But this is just annoying and disrespectful.
2013-12-14
Good Learning App but…...
It’s a good educational app but would’ve like to be able to change the voice to be British English, Australia English etc; particularly with the phonics. Maybe the developers would look at this option in the future upgrades. I paid for the full version. A warning for any early educator buying this app for their class; these words aren’t the traditional ‘sight words’. eg. ‘to’ is a sight word but in this app they use ‘two’.
2013-12-06
Exceptional app!!
What an amazing app! The animations are awesome, making learning fun and exciting! I recommend this app to anyone with young children. They'll never get bored of learning with this app! 👍👍👍👍
2013-12-04
Funtastic
Excellent concept. Education as it should be. Knowledge, Fun with funtastic animation and sound. Well done developers. I can't wait for the next version and also the next app.
2013-11-28
Excellent
My three year old loves this app. He's particularly entertained by the crowd messing up the letters and words. Cute animations and noises.
2013-11-27
We love it!
We love it! Both my 6 year old and my 5 year old haven't stopped playing since we downloaded it. It's funny, educational and interactive! A cute spin off to the endless alphabet..
2013-11-27
No downloads
My children love this app so I decided to pay for the full version and get the extra 20 words and now it will not download the words I paid for :(
2013-11-26
Great App!!!!
I think the emphasis is fun with this app and it certainly is a lot of fun and I can only see it getting better.
I'm no expert on the matter of teaching children but I think once you add humour into the mix it triggers something in children and even adults. Don't take my word for it just google "mrs doubtfire no meat big feet dinosaurs". ;)
Sorry I digress.... Great App!!!!
2013-11-24
Fun but needs work
This app is certainly cute with terrific animations. However, from a learning perspective this app needs work. These aren't sight words - all, ball, cake, dog, eat, funny. These words are at different developmental levels. The pronunciations are unclear. The "t' is said as "ter, tie or tight". The app sometimes pronounces them phonetically, sometimes using letter names. Fun, but there are better apps for learning.
