Here are our Top 5 educational Ipad apps for use with primary school children, in reverse order:
5. Hairy Letters (by Net Educational Systems LTD) From the very successful Nessy.com company, this app is ideal for teaching letter sounds, and also incorporates a segmenting game where kids can put words together from the spoken letter sounds. Nice graphics and sounds; kids love it! 4. Balloons: Tap & Learn (by Zippz software) Pre-school game based on a simple idea that it's fun and curiously satisfying to pop balloons with your finger! Helps kids to learn numbers, colours and animals. 3. Dot to Dot (by Apps in my pocket LTD) Both numbers and letters can be chosen as options in this customisable, multiple user dot to dot app. Hundreds of pictures for children to do, and the numbers can also be set to display multiples of any number you choose. Brilliant way to practise sequences. 2. Word Magic (by Anusen Inc) Award winning spelling app aimed at pre-school children and learners up to National Curriculum level 4. Fully customisable, where the word length, the missing part of the word and the difficulty level can be altered to suit the user. Great phonics practice and wonderful for consolidating those graphemes. (Drum roll) 1. Pocket Phonics (by Apps in my pocket LTD) You can program multiple players for this literacy app, which allows users to combine learning graphemes alongside sound / letter relationships, correct formation of letters (making excellent use of the touch screen) and segmenting words from spoken phonemes. A superb all-round app, ideal for children in Key Stage 1, and good revision for those children well into Key Stage 2 who are still struggling a little with reading. We would LOVE to hear of any other good apps that help our kids to learn! |
