For this assignment I used the Scholastic Magazine app. I just discovered this app and felt it would be perfect for this assignment. This app allows you to access Scholastic News/Weekly Reader on the IPAD. I have for sometime used my Scholastic News/Weekly Reader on the SMARTBOARD. This app allows the student to have control over the issue. I like that I can adjust reading levels for my below grade level readers, and the students can't tell the difference. It looks the same.
The students loved that they could watch the video's over and over. Which they did. They could also play the games multiple times. This app also allows to change the language to Spanish. This has been a great tool for one of my ELL students who is just beginning to learn English. He listens to it read to him in both languages. In two short weeks it has become one of their favorite apps to use during free time on IPADS. They like to go back and reread some of their favorite issues. Students are now accessing the app at home and showing their parents what we are reading at school.
