I love using early reader books in my speech-language therapy. Students working on speech sound production can use their target sounds when reading (or repeating) the sentences, while students with language goals answer questions about the text, label and describe vocabulary, and sequence and narrate the story. Kids who are struggling with reading benefit from any added exposure to text and reading.
This app is great for students in kindergarten and first grade, or students reading at about that level. Younger readers may only be able to read the first few books at first, but as more words are learned more stories will be accessible.
The record function on this app is fantastic. The user is prompted to record on each page, with a playback option. Other great features: words are highlighted as the text is read, words can be heard by tapping each one individually, and the settings allow the background music to be turned off. Plus, it's currently FREE! Download this now before it's back to paid!
