Re: Technology Integration in K-5

By far the best app I have seen for Kindergarten is abc PocketPhonics
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/abc-pocketphonics-letter-sounds/id2993429
27?mt=3D8

Students use their finger to trace the letters. You can choose
D'Nealian or Zaner-Bloser

a
few ipads in our Lower School and I am always searching for good apps to
refer.

thanks!
