Wanted: Apps for learning spelling & or vocabulary: 1st - 2nd grade Prefer Phonics (Orton Gillingham type)

[SonshineLearner]

I'm looking for apps for a boy, 1st-2nd grade for spelling and/or vocabulary. Ideas? :)

 

Thanks

For phonograms (Orton Gillingham type) use Phonics with Phonograms by Logic of English

For vocabulary, try some apps focused on delivering audio books, such as:

Audible

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/audible-audio-books-original/id379693831?mt=8

OverDrive (great if your local library has books for this)

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/overdrive-library-ebooks-audiobooks/id366869252?mt=8

Or, just subscribe to podcasts directly in iTunes (or any other podcast player):

Family Folk Tales

Sparkle Stories Podcast

Barefoot Books Podcast

https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/barefoot-books-podcast-ipod/id361242548?mt=2

The Story Home Children's Audio Stories

Storynory - Stories for Kids

https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/storynory-stories-for-kids/id94571049?mt=2

Finally, I've found that the YouTube Kids app builds vocabulary because it supports voice search. This helps kids find videos about stuff on their own that they're really interested, even before they can read or spell fluently.

Enjoy!
