Space Readers is designed to help children improve their reading skills through learning to recognise high frequency sight words by their shape and outline. The aim is to identify a given sight word among four possible options by matching the shape of the word. Repeating this process can help children improve their reading skills.

@_davenott what is the science that shows recognizing a shape that's drawn from the outline helps word fluency? The clouds seem very abstracted away from the words, making it difficult to establish that direct relationship. I wonder if recognition increases as the outline becomes less 'bubbled' and closer to the outline of the letter shapes?

Hi Victor, you make an interesting point - a large part of the recognition comes from recognising the ascenders (t, d,f,h etc) and descenders (g, y, q etc) and their position in the word. The amount of "bubble" is something that was tweaked a lot during development to try and reach the sweet spot - it's something I'm keen to keep adjusting via my beta program as like most things, the job is never really "done". Thanks for the feedback - it's appreciated!
