With hands on this app kids can go on a reading adventure with book-loving Reading Raven. The five carefully constructed levels take kids from learning the letters of the alphabet to reading sentences. The app can be easily configured to present material appropriate for kids ages 3, 4 or 5. The gameplay includes learning adventure cycles through 11 different interactive games set in exciting environments, including a circus and outer space. Kids learn to read while catching butterflies, playing with acrobats, matching rhyming parts of a rocket and more. Also, the good part is that the app automatically adapts to the child’s motor control ability; so if your kid is having trouble tracing a letter, the app will make the letter bigger.
7. Learn with Homer: Reading & Educational Games
This comprehensive learn-to-read app offers interactive games, songs, poems and books to teach kids that letters have sounds, letters combine to make words and words express ideas. Presented as 16 lessons, each with multiple parts, the first two lessons are offered for free. The poems, songs and books have no interactivity, and they don’t highlight individual words as read.
But what engages kids the most is the character from the app, “Homer”, a charming pigeon that hosts an environment filled with vibrant images and fun interactive learning games that employ solid learning techniques. For example, in addition to hearing the letter sound, players see a virtual kid speaking the sound; and then the app asks your child to record that same sound. The app cleverly rewards kids with hilarious thinking caps to place on top of their photo avatar.
Appropriate for children who are already reading, this app helps a child develop critical thinking skills and comprehension. It also encourages abstract thinking and inferring, a difficult skill to reinforce at such a young age. It is one of the only apps that focus on inferring and abstract thinking, so it managed to make it on the list despite its heavy pricing.
This is basically an electronic version of the beloved classic by Dr. Seuss. There are three variations to this app: Read to Me, Read by Myself, or Auto Play. There is also a voice recording option where your child can read it aloud and record his/her voice (or a parent can record). There are several other Dr. Seuss books available as apps: Mr. Brown Can Moo Can You?, Yertle the Turtle, and Think I Saw it on Mulberry Street. There is also a collection of 5 stories (including The Cat in the Hat, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, The FOOT Book, Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You? and Fox In Socks) all in one app.
10. BOB Books
BOB books are famously popular with parents of beginning readers. The app can be very beneficial for helping children learn to decode, but the illustrations in the paper books are pretty boring. The app adds a bit more interaction, which makes it more appealing and engaging for kids. You can get the lite version for free to try it out before you pay the full price for the app. You can also buy Bob Books #2 (HD for the iPad or for the iPhone/iPod Touch)
