This app is great for tons of free flashcards. The free version gives you flashcards for:
actions, feelings, animals, foods, and baby things. My favorite part of this app is the fact that
there is also a free way to create your own flashcards (even in the free version)! You can take your own
pictures of items that you want your child to learn about and then you can type
a label below the picture and record your own voice! How cool is that?!? I am
currently taking pictures of various toys my daughter loves next to a letter
flashcard to help her learn her letters.
The options are endless for this customizable part of the app! Can you
tell I am a little excited? I’ve
actually bought the full app and I highly recommend this app (at minimum the
free version). Try it, what have you got
to lose?!
Interactive ABC HD - Pre-reading for Kids
By Kids Academy Company
This app is a fun way to learn about letters with minimal
interaction. All you have to do is tap
the screen and the screen will become animated and show a word that begins with
the letter along with an animal. This
app is also free and super fun!
Letter School Lite
By Boreaal
The Letter School only gives you letters A-E free, but this
is a great way to test out the app and see if it’s right for you (I only have
the lite version of this app right now because my daughter still finds it
difficult). This app is great to learn
how to write letters. Each letter has three
activities. First it shows you an item
that starts with the letter and then the capital letter. Next, it puts dots on the capital letter and you
trace the dots in the correct order and then the letter comes to life by either
bubbling, having a train ride of the tracks you created, or in the final level
you drawing once the dots disappear and then the letter appearing.
iTouchiLearn Words for Preschool Kids:Letters, Spelling and Reading
By Staytoooned
This app is another of my favorites! I’ve actually bought the full version of this one as
well, but the free version is so fun and a great way to learn letters. In the “Words” area of the app you can choose
“Actions” or “Movies”. The “Actions”
area allows you to choose a word and then it says the word and shows the word
and the action associated with the word.
The “Movies” section shows each word in motion without any interaction
required. Under “Games” you can choose
from “Spell,” “Word,” and “Picture.” Under
“Spell” you can drag each letter to its shadow and spell words. This level is simple and like a puzzle. This is the level my 2 ½ year old is capable
of completing. The next level under “Games”
is “Word.” This level allows you to
match a picture with the correct words. “Picture”
allows you to choose the correct picture from a written word (the name is said
aloud). And then for the finale a video of
“Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes.” I
cannot express how much I like this app.
The full version is a steal at 1.99!
Plic, Ploc, Wiz
By Pepillo
This app are simple puzzles that show you the puzzle
completed and then the geometric shapes fall off and you have to move your
finger to place them each in the correct position. This game was difficult for my daughter at first,
but within a few attempts of trying the app she was able to do it independently. This is a fun game that will improve your
child’s geometry skills, fine motor skills, and problem solving skills.
ABC's and Me
By: 5 Pumpkins
This app is great because it gives you flashcards for
numbers, letters, shapes, colors, transportation, foods, and about 3 other ways
to work on letters recognition and sight words.
This one isn’t as interactive, but I love flashcards!
