Good Free App of the Day: Learn 3000 academic vocabulary words with this completely FREE app!

Today while browsing the top charts for kids' apps (something I do regularly--occupational hazard), I found an app I'd never seen before. Wordly Wise 3000® Vocabulary Flashcards FREE really does have flashcards for 3000 words, with both text and audio definitions. Each word is used in a sentence, too (I give encomium to the developer for this feature) and the flip side of each flashcard asks a question abpout each word.

To download this perfect complement to any language arts curriculum, please support Smart Apps For Kids and use our download button:

I am an avid supporter of learning vocabulary, both as a speech-language pathologist and a word nerd. I've already figured out several uses for this app in my therapy, including having students working on generalizing fluency and speech sound production read the definitions outloud for practice. I'm not embellishing the truth to say that for vocabulary goals, this app may well be a lifesaver.

I was pleased to note that the definitions can all be read aloud, including the sample sentences. This shows the developer, Educators Publishing Service, to be conscientious in making sure the app is useful for a wide variety of learners.

Check out this amazing app! Even if you're not sure it's needed, be prudent and download it to check it out. It's completely free and then you can ascertain if it's really for you.
