Press Release Body = Palm Coast, FL. May 1, 2006 - Sierra Vista Software has
released Sight Words Buddy 1.0 for Windows. This free software offers
multiple-choice exercises for K-3 students and adults learning how to read.

Reading is one of the most critical skills taught at school. It is virtually
impossible for a person to live a productive life in our society without being
functionally literate. An important goal in teaching young students to read is
making sure they are completely fluent with Sight Words.

Sight Words (often called the Dolch Word List) are some of the most frequently
used words in the English language. Sight Words Buddy for Windows is designed to
provide children with easy and fun Sight Words exercises. The exercises are divided
into several groups, according to target school grades: Pre-Primer, Primer, First
Grade, Second Grade, and Third Grade.

When the exercise starts, the student will hear one of the Sight Words. The
student\'s task is to click on the written representation of the word. If the
student wishes to repeat the word, he or she can do so by clicking on the \"speaker\"
picture. Both visual and auditory feedback are provided to indicate whether the
response is correct. After the student provides the correct answer, the exercise
moves to the next word.

To assist in evaluating student\'s performance, the results chart shows the number
of right and wrong answers as well as the percentage of correct answers for each
word.
