As you know the iPad is very popular with Mr. Jack. I am always looking for new apps that will be both fun and educational! He's been learning the alphabet, so our latest addition has been a hit! It's called: Interactive Alphabet. And the icon looks like this:
It's a bit more pricey than other apps we've purchased - $2.99…but I think I may be able to use it in my classroom with my kindergartners, so that's a bonus!
There are a few options to navigating the app. A child can click on individual letters - which go to an interactive letter card. Or they can do the alphabet song. There is also a "baby mode" that will take the child through all of the letter cards in order. Jack likes to click his way through on his own….and completely out of order. Each letter card is also read out loud, which is awesome! Jack's vocabulary has hit a "growth spurt" lately and I have heard him use words he has learned with this app! Squid? We definitely haven't been talking about squid around the house...
The Volcano card is one of Jack's favorites! Mainly because when you touch the screen the lava builds up and then explodes out of the top. What little boy doesn't love a great explosion?
Hope some of our tot friends get a chance to play this!
Molly started using the word "stupid" on our trip. I am not as proud at her new found vocab!
ReplyDeleteWhat? Where did she learn that word from?!?! Kady, how does Jack like the new app so far?
