Let’s Read 1: Spelling
by Janine Toole
Let’s Read 1: Spelling is part of the research-based Let’s Read series for building critical early reading skills. The app uses word building to increase sensitivity to letter-sound correspondences, which is a key early reading skill. Although beneficial for all users, the Let’s Read Series of apps are especially suitable for struggling or late readers as they include built-in reward systems, a clean layout, and minimal ‘baby stuff’.
Weather Chasers
by Craig Kerwin
Weather Chasers is a fun app designed for collecting all sorts of weather data. Weather is collected by taking observations of what’s happening around you in the environment. It brings back the physical aspect of collecting weather information while allowing the data to be quickly and easily stored on your iPad in an electronic diary.
Pascal Programming Compiler
by Marvin Olawski
Pascal Compiler is a lightweight development environment for writing Pascal programs.
Editors note: This is not a beginners guide to programming and will require some knowledge of coding, but it is useful for someone that wants to go beyond the basics and play with actual code on their iPhone/iPad.
