__**Educational Apps.**__

__Reading__

 * 2nd or 3rd grade: "[|Story Wheel]" EverAge is an interactive story building app that is a lot of fun! Older kids can do it by themselves, younger kids would need help.

__Math__

 * [|Coin Math]$1.99 by Recession Apps. Wonderful realistic pictures of coins-both the fron and back side-you can even flip the coins to see both sides!
 * [|Everday Math]has a lot of great apps you can purchase-sometimes they are offered free!
 * [|Jungle Time]$2.99 by Andrew Short. I (Katie) loaded a few time telling apps before I found this one which I think progresses at a reasonable rate for learning to tell time. Geared for 1st graders maybe early 2nd graders.
 * [|Hungry Caterpiller Counting Game] Early Counting skills with the art of one of our favorite authors!
 * [|Blue Dog Math Game] This IPad app is a fun way for children to learn counting while enjoying the fabulous Blue Dog artwork of George Rodrigue. Each page displays a different piece of George's original art with countable objects.

__Music__

 * [|Cleartune-Chromatic Tuner] $3.99 by bitcount. This is a fantastic tuner!!!
 * [|Blue Note Music Flash Cards]$1.99 by Blue Note Software LLC is a great note name flash card app.

__Writing__

 * [|Book Creator] Very easy to use! Take pictures with your ipad and add them to your custom created book!

__Science__

 * [|Geared 2!] $2.99 by Brian Mitchell. Kids place gears to get from one point on the screen to another. FUN and a good problem solving app too.

__General Knowledge__

 * Any grade: "[|Brain Pop]" Just like the website with lots of short educational video clips
 * [|Brain Quest]
 * __**Spelling:**__ [] "Spelling Notebook" This free app allows you to personalize spelling lists for students to practice during Daily 5 word work. There are pre-recorded voices that students listen to before they spell the word and you have the option to record your own. This is particularly helpful for students who may not be able to accurately read a word (ex. Many 1st graders might say "where" when the word is "were.") I recommend recording your own voice since the prerecorded ones are sometimes too fast to hear correctly. There is an option to buy the full version for $.99.
