xSight is designed to help early readers instantly recognize many of the common words they will encounter, including words with non-phonetic spellings.
xSight is very easy to use, but is thorough. The computer speaks the word and the student picks it out of a matrix by clicking on it. If the word is selected correctly, xSight advances to the next word after a congratulatory comment. If the word is missed, the student is asked to try again.
The “Hints” feature allows the student to recognize the correct word by narrowing the choices to a single row or column.
