There are so many apps out there already, plus new ones being made for the iPad, not to mention the Android system of apps – it’s simply overwhelming.

I think reading is tantamount to many good things in life, not just knowledge and literacy, and it has, for quite awhile now, unfortunately been backsliding in favor of more immediate gratifications, like computer games, tv shows, sports, simply hanging out with friends. All of these are good and well, but it always strikes me ... Read More

Short Word Maker 1.0 has an interesting premise: Designed and programmed by one Kevin Neelands, it has the objective, in short, of expanding a new reader’s vocabulary.

On Tuesday, I wrote a review of ABC Shakedown, a flashcard alphabet app that kids could use to work on their pronunciation skills, language skills, and word-object agreement. I recently became aware of another app by I-itch, called ABC Shakedown Plus, that acts as an extended version of the former – extended not only in ... Read More
