Common Core Language Arts

Story Wheel by EverAge ($2.99 with IAP, lite version available): This great app fits into the Speaking and Listening standards for Language Arts. Use it with an overall unit (with storytelling options like Space, Knights and Princesses, or Pirates), or simply use the basic storytelling set of images. Up to four players can work together on one story — each spins the wheel and then narrates 30 seconds about that image. The next person spins and continues the story, connecting their image to the story as a whole. As few as two and as many as 13 pages can be recorded. Stories are saved in the app, if selected. There is also a very useful “How to Tell a Story” section on the main page

Rory’s Story Cubes by The Creativity Hub ($1.99 with IAP): This app is a great take on the best-selling Rory’s Story Cubes game. It’s similar to the Story Wheel, but without the record function. There are nine cubes in the classic set, with nine action cubes available for free. The sets can be combined randomly, too! Students can work on a cooperative storytelling assignment, or can work individually. Have students write the story as they play and focus on the Writing standards of the Common Core, or share with each other to address both Language and Speaking and Listening standards.

Simplex Spelling Apps by Pyxwise Software, Inc. (free lite versions, $4.99 full apps): There are a lot of apps to address the Foundational Skills Reading standards, and I like to use a variety. However, one of my favorite series of apps is Simplex Spelling. They are great for older learners who haven't quite mastered necessary phonics to decode complex words, because they aren't loaded with cartoons or younger images and rewards. Plus, the content is geared for beginning readers up through 4th/5th grade. Each app addresses a different set of skills — from Dolch Sight Words to Advanced Phonograms, and everything in between. There are word lists for each app on the Pyxwise website, to help teachers in selecting the right level, and Simplex Spelling Lite helps users truly understand the software and approach before buying (and it contains 50 words for FREE). But what makes me really love Simplex is the solid approach to teaching phonics. Students aren't taught to guess, but to apply systematic rules to decode and spell even advanced words like anonymous, diphthong, and neighbor.

Peekaboo Studios reading comprehension apps ($2.99 each, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades, iPad ONLY): Each app in this series features reading passages at the appropriate grade level. After reading the passage, the reader answers 12 related comprehension questions. The questions and passages are aligned with the Common Core and address both Reading of Informational Text and Literature. I also like the feedback given with any answer — the key area of the passage is highlighted. Unlike other similar apps I’ve tried, these questions move beyond the basic who, what, where, when-type of questions, which is definitely a feature of the Common Core.

Reading Comprehension Camp by Smarty Ears ($19.99, iPad ONLY): I know this is more than many people can spend on a classroom app, but it really is amazing for SLPs and classroom teachers who target reading comprehension. There are 50 stories, covering 2nd through 7th grade reading levels, and 11 different types of questions (from basic to complex).  The text can be read aloud, to be able to focus on comprehension at an appropriate level for those not yet reading at grade level, and it keeps fantastic data. Perfect to use for progress reports and RTI data.

What a great find! I love the BrainPop app, so to find a junior version of it is just a bonus. Covering a variety of learning areas, Annie and Mobie present content in interesting and fun short videos to capture the attention of lower elementary aged students (ages 5-8). Six movies and one "movie of the week" are free. A fantastic resource for educators or homeschoolers and a brilliant app for anyone to have on their Android device.

This app is customizable so your child can work at his or her level, and parents can also adjust the activities according to the child's success rate. How good is that? Correct answers are given verbal praise and a celebratory animation from the monkey or chinchillas, whilst a wrong answer gets a vocalization from the animal with a head shake. Children are also rewarded with items for the chameleon's terrarium. The main thing missing from this fantastic little app is comprehensive progress tracking. That would just top it off
