Big List Literacy Apps

This is the big list of Literacy Apps that I shared at the TCEA Tots conference in 2014 and the district Tech conference in August 2014. 

Spelling City - create a free teacher account and upload your spelling and vocabulary lists; students then can access these lists and play games to learn their words

Quizlet - amazing digital flashcard, the matching is awesome...but also gives a way for students to learn and study

Pocket Sand - virtual sand for the students to write their letters, numbers, etc. without the mess of real sand; this app is no longer available on the U.S. store BUT I found an alternative: SAND ART

Little Writer Pro - Pro version NOT FREE! $1.99 Students learn to write ABC (upper and lower) also includes numbers. Students can learn shapes, words, and phonics all in this one app! Little Writer FREE

RAZ Kids - also you need a subscription for RAZ kids (runs about $69-$99 depending on the other services you purchase) Set students reading level, students can do running records and sight word assessments right from the app!

Grammar - Contractions - NO LONGER FREE 99¢ students make contractions by tapping the letters that need to be removed

Sentence Creator -  students make up to 4 word sentences using this Bitsboard family app
Opposite Ocean - 99¢ students locate and collect pearls for selecting the correct antonym

Grammar Wonderland Primary and Elementary - these are the LITE versions, but there are paid versions that go free a lot. These are great: explore nouns, verbs, and adjectives.

Textropolis and Chicktionary - students build words with a given set of letters. 

LetterBook FREE and Wet Dry Try $6.99 - these are great handwriting apps for students still struggling to make their letters. These are great to share with parents.



Bitsboard and Bitsboard Spelling Bee - use these to study vocabulary and sight words. You can create your own boards and you use IMAGES!! This is an amazing free app.
