My Favorite Apps

I have a few favorite apps that I tend to gravitate towards when using the iPads in the classroom. Most are free, some are paid for.

One More Story-Reads a picture book aloud to the kids.  I will usually have them listen together, then do a response worksheet after.  The worksheet will have them rate the book and then draw a picture using details from the story.  I’ll also sometimes have them stop in the middle and make a prediction about what might happen on a worksheet.

Endless Alphabet-Dragging letters to vocabulary words.

Writing Wizard-Handwriting practice.

Millie Books-Books are read aloud, then ask questions at the end and have students respond through the app.

Sentence Builder- Students are given sentences, then must put the words in order to make the sentence.

Cimo Can Spell-A great app for sounding out words and putting them together.

Howie Finds Vowels-Phonics practice.

Todo Math-Leveled practice with counting, addition, and subtraction.  I’ll usually have this available when students finish their math class work. 

Dragon Shapes-Geometry shapes to build together to make creations, like tangrams.

Sushi Monster- Addition and subtraction practice.

Bugs and Buttons- Sorting.

Scan-QR code reader
