What it is

GentleSight helps young children (ages 4–8) learn their first sight words through calm, patient games with no timers, no scores, and no pressure. Every interaction is gentle and predictable. Wrong answers get a soft visual cue — never a buzzer, never “wrong” text. Correct answers are celebrated with cheerful animations that follow a comforting, repeating pattern.
