Learning Apps

Several of the apps listed provide a portion of their content for free, with an additional charge to unlock the rest. The majority of the apps listed have a one-time fee but are high-quality and may be worth the cost. Peruse the list to find apps that best fit your child's needs.
A learning platform for kids aged 4-9 that is designed to help practice and develop their reading skills. Booksy assists kids with difficult words and has quizzes that help reinforce reading comprehension. This app is Common Core aligned and has books on science topics, social science, math and everyday activities.
Introduces sight words, which are words that are the most commonly used in school books and children’s books. These words often have unusual spelling and cannot be sounded out using phonetics, and kids must be able to recognize sight words in order to learn to read. Endless Reader has interactive word puzzles that teach the sight words, along with animated animals that come alive when the puzzle is worked out correctly.
A free, online book-searching tool that can be used to help students, parents and teachers find books that fit a child's reading and interest level. Books are searchable by award-winning titles, English and Spanish materials as well as by subject, title, and author. Book lists are made using the app which can then be printed out to be taken to the library or bookstore.
