Five Fantastic Apps
1. Duck duck moose Wheels on the Bus- Ok this may not be used in the classroom all the time. But it would be good for students with fine motor difficulties. My three year old loved it!!! It kept him entertained through an entire meal at a restaurant.
2. Storycubes- For this app they give your around 6 cubes that are like dice and you give them a shake. On the cubes are pictures such as a sunshine or and animal. You have to take the cubes and be able to tell a story using all of the cubes. This would be reat for story starters, reluctant writers, speaking and listening, creative writing. Love them
3. How would you Feel : Each student looks at an illustration, and either reads the prompt or touches the screen to listen to the prompt. The student then gives a verbal response. After each answer, tap the green (correct) or red (incorrect) button to score the student’s verbal response.
Great for social skills, writing prompts and speaking and listening.
4. ABC Play: This app allows children to explore the alphabet in combination with different sports and activities. Great pictures too.
5. Tumblebooks: Those of you that have used Tumblebooks online will already be familiar with it. Now they are available as an app and include animations. You can purchase many of your favorite children's author books in packs of six. Great for reluctant readers and young grades for read alouds and reading responses.
