  3. Free Apps StoryBots Starring You StoryBooks: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/starring-you-storybooks/id439449113?mt=8 If you’ve ever “elfed yourself” at the holidays, you know how entertaining and hilarious Jib Jab can be. Now the company has a special app that makes kids the star of their very own storybook. The free version provides one book, with additional stories available for individual purchase or through a monthly subscription free. Though the app lacks sound and interactivity, the story lines are appealing and the photo creates a great practice opportunity (and motivation) for kids to read. (Free) Bluster! https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bluster!/id416160693?mt=8 : Kids can practice rhyming words, prefixes and suffixes, synonyms, homophones, adjectives, and more in this colorful and engaging word matching game. Choose between single player and team mode. (Free) Toy Story:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/toy-story-read-along/id364376920?mt=8 This interactive read-along app allows kids to hear the story being read to them and record themselves narrating the text so they can listen to their own version as they flip through the pages. Games, finger painting, and sing alongs are fun bonus features. (Free)

  4. Puppet Pals https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/puppet-pals-hd/id342076546?mt=8 allows kids to create their own unique shows with animation and audio so that digital storytelling is simple. Children can write their own scripts around original stories or demonstrate knowledge about a particular topic (sure beats writing a summary paragraph.) Best of all, Puppet Pals is totally free. (Free) Rocket Speller: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/rocket-speller/id492504689?mt=8 Perfect for new spellers and has increasing levels of difficulty. Join Zip the alien in building a new rocket! Each word kids spell correctly helps him choose the pieces he needs. Once all the pieces are in place, you can launch the rocket and watch it soar into space. 4 levels of difficulty ensure that a variety of ability levels are covered. (Free) Phonics Tic-Tac-Toe Interactive Game By Lakeshore Learning Materials https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/phonics-tic-tac-toe-interactive/id465184366?mt=8 Children build language skills in a fast-paced game of tic-tac-toe! Fun, interactive game explores vowel sounds, syllables and more. For ages 6-8 years. (Free)

  5. Grammaropolis By GrammaropolisLLC https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/grammaropolis/id559851814?mt=8 Grammaropolisis where grammar lives! Hailed as a Schoolhouse Rock for the 21st Century, Grammaropolis uses the parts of speech as animated characters whose personalities are based on the roles they play in the sentence. From the shady pronoun always trying to take the noun’s place to the motherly conjunction who just wants everyone to get along, Grammaropolis achieves the impossible: we make learning grammar fun! (Free) Kids Can Read - I Like Sticks By GrasshopperApps.com https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/kids-can-read-i-like-sticks/id438013430?mt=8 The "I Like" children's picture books are fun and easy way to practice reading. Not only are the stories and pictures fun... they also help your child learn about the world they live in. It is a magical learning experience for kids of all ages from 0 to 6. The little ones will enjoy listening to lovely stories while looking at gorgeous pictures that are carefully chosen. Toddlers will love the interactivity of the picture books and click on items to discover new words. Young kids will enjoy these books to learn how to read as they see each word individually highlighted in red at the exact moment the audio is played back. (Free)

  6. Paid Apps Noodle Words HD:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/noodle-words-hd-action-set-1/id477765985?mt=8 With Noodle Words, emerging readers can make the word “spin” actually spin, and the word “jump” actually jump. Though the word sets are limited at this time, the appeal to young children, easy-to-use interface, and creative word play opportunities make the app a worthwhile purchase. ($2.99) Montessori Crosswords(designed for both iPhone and iPad- $2.99) https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/montessori-crosswords-spelling/id384334005?mt=8 This app is great for teaching letter SOUNDS (which is WAY more important than learning their names).  It also adds a cognitive component of mini-crossword puzzles as well as consonant blends and digraphs (although they aren’t labeled as such).  This app is completely customizable and includes a special section for parents.  I was initially hesitant about the crossword component of this app (because I don’t want to confuse a child that he/she could be reading a word up –> down instead of left –> right), but this doesn’t seem to be a problem Aesop’s Quest:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/aesops-quest/id442928041?mt=8 Leveled for grades 2-6, these reading comprehension activities require children to remember elements of a story in order to advance in the game. Children practice a wide range of reading skills, from author’s purpose to context clues. ($0.99)

  7. Speech with Milo:  Sequencing (Designed for both iPhone and iPad-$2.99) http://www.speechwithmilo.com/apps/ Sequencing, or being able to recall the events of a story in order, is an important component of reading comprehension and cognitive development.  This app is a sequencing game, appropriate for Pre-K through 1st grade.  Your child will put a series of pictures in order.  Once they have been placed in order correctly, your child can then watch a very short animation watching the sequence uninterrupted.  This app is also widely used by Speech Pathologists as they work with children who are receiving speech services.  The only downfall to this app is that some of the scenarios (like hitting a baseball, for example) require real-world experience to understand the sequence. Reading Remedies: 2nd/3rd Grade Reading Fluency By Needleworks Software https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/reading-remedies/id423213168?mt=8 This is a unique reading app that's useful to have. I teach reading and have lots of books on assessment but it's definitely helpful to have word lists and quick assessments handy without having to go look for them. The app helps to pinpoint a reading problem quickly and I appreciate that everything's written out so simply. For $1 , I don't think you can go wrong.

  8. TeachMe: 2nd https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/teachme-2nd-grade/id355943913?mt=8 TeachMe: 2nd Grade is the fourth installment in the popular TeachMe series of educational apps for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.

($1.99) Vocabulary Builder Grades 3-4 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vocabulary-builder-grades-3-4/id443282390?mt=8 This app targets multiple-meaning words, synonyms, antonyms, adjectives, nouns, and verbs. Also targets standards in these areas: • Recognizing sight-words • Identifying sight-words • Reading fluency • Vocabulary development • Using high frequency words in context ($1.99)
