Update: KJChase is the winner of the iTunes gift card! Congrats!
I mentioned in my growing readers post that we love to use apps to help sharpen our reading skills. Since so many of you wanted to know my favorites, I thought I would share a few.
I love that the kids can play games and build skills at the same time. My favorite use? I love that we can take the iPod touch with us to the doctor or other appointments and still accomplish valuable learning!
Would you love to have a few apps? I knew you would and that’s why today I am giving away a $15 iTunes gift card!

Those apps look cool. I’ll have to see if they are available for me/my kids.
Those apps look great for kids and I love the Words with Friends app
One of my favorite and most useful apps is called Grocery Gadget. It’s great for keeping track of my grocery list and I love that it will auto sync with another iPhone.

My favorite app right now is Relax Melodies. It’s a free customizable white noise/ambient sound generator. It helps my baby sleep through her sisters’ shennanigans.

I have one where they can practice where the states of the United States and the countries of the world are located. I love it. I’m not sure that my kids will, however.
Those apps look good. I have never used any app at all so thanks for the suggestions.

Hey Kim, my kids like Magic Ink books, Addition & Subtraction for kids (fish image), abcmagic3 – beginning sounds, & Bugsy pre-k and Bugsy k. Great idea! Jenn d
I don’t have a fancy gadget that allows me to use these apps, but I would use the first grade sight words if I did.
