Reading Adventure Time and Writing Adventure Time are FINALLY in the Apple app store. Hooray! These two apps are teacher driven, student friendly and they both include activities and assessment to help students build reading skills. They are FREE for anyone to use. These apps provide activities that support reading and writing improvements in speed, accuracy, comprehension, and writing dictation. Teachers may add multiple students to an account and track progress over time. The content is geared to support braille reading students in grades 1st -12th. An iPad or iPad mini and braille display are required (we have equipment to loan while supplies last if you do not have any; also note that the app is not available for use on android devices or iPhones).
