It was hard to narrow down our favourite APPS because they are all amazing in their own way. Shelly and I decided to go with these three.
Grammar Jammer teaches students grammar and mechanics in a fun and entertaining way. It uses rhyming songs and animated pictures to illustrate and define parts of speech such as nouns, verbs, pronouns etc. It also teaches how to create and build sentences while incorporating the proper use of punctuation.
ABC Tracing allows students to to trace letters on the screen. It is designed for the emergent learner and helps to promote letter recognition and sounds. To erase, the child touches the eraser or shakes the
device. Lots and lots of fun.
Farm Animals is an APP that supports early readers in word to picture recognition. Each sentence is constructed of only two words. The underlined word matches the picture supporting comprehension.
Tap the animated picture and a real life picture appears including its definition, again supporting comprehension. There is no audio component which is wonderful for those students who do not like sound because of sensory issues.
