As a classroom teacher all I can say is wow! These Ipads are the greatest teaching tool I’ve experienced. The students are actively engaged and wanting to learn. They are begging me to use the Ipads at every moment of the school day! The Ipad offers a variety of ways for the students to engage and learn through reading activities.
One of my favorite apps that I use frequently is RAZ Kids. This app allows you to place your students at their reading ability. The students are able to read a story and take a comprehension test over what they read. What I love about this app is that the students can have the comprehension questions read to them. This is extremely beneficial for my struggling readers. The students can earn points to buy rockets to keep their motivation. What I love about this app is that the teacher can view how each child is doing online and watch their progress.
Another one of my favorites is Quickvoice Recorder. The students can record themselves reading a story or poem. Then they can listen back and see if they are reading fluently and with expression. I also challenge the students to see if they can read more fluently the next time around and see if they can beat their recorded time. The students love the idea of trying to beat their time from before
