Before I sat down this morning to work with Charlie on Homeschooling lessons, I decided to go through emails I had received so I would know what I needed to on for my blog. I found 2 new Homeschooling Resources from Endless Reader and Word Hippo which I thought I would share with you.
Endless Reader will allow us to teach our children are Literacy which is a resource I didn’t know how to teach Charlie. I can’t wait to check out the app out and to use it with Charlie. I thought you might like to check this app out as well.
I hope you take the time to check out Endless Reader and that you take the time to stop by HereWee Read. Once your on the website let the owner know what you thought of Endless Reader.
When your on the website I would like to ask you to take a look at the awesome blog post she has to shared with us . Then check out the resources she has for us to use.
*From the team at ORIGINATOR – the creators of the beloved Endless Alphabet and Sesame Street’s Monster at the End of This Book and Another Monster…. Originator is a team of passionate artists and engineers dedicated to the best education+entertainment apps for kids.*
As a follow-up to Endless Alphabet, set the stage for early reading success with Endless Reader! This app introduces “sight words”, including the most commonly used words in school, the library, and children’s books.
Kids need to recognize”sight words” words by sight in order to achieve reading fluency. Recognizing sight words is advantageous for beginning readers because many of these words have unusual spelling, and cannot be sounded out using phonic knowledge, and often cannot be represented using pictures.
Kids will have a blast learning sight words and their context usage with the adorable Endless monsters. Each word features an interactive word puzzle with letters that come alive, and then a sentence puzzle with words that become what they describe. See the word “dog” as a barking dog, and the word “up” reach for the sky!
** NOTE: You must be online and have sufficient disk space while running the app to get all words in the app. **
Features:
– 6 words free to try with additional word packs available for purchase.
– Delightful animations reinforce sight recognition of words in a fun and interactive way.
– Word puzzles reinforce spelling using lower-case letters and the sentence puzzles teach definition and usage (in addition to sight recognition).
– 3D Touch on iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus makes letters and words react in an extra special way!
– Endless Reader was designed with your children in mind. There are no high scores, failures, limits or stress. Your children can interact with the app at their own pace.
2. Word Hippo– A free online resource that defines a word, uses it in multiple sentences, pronounces the word, gives synonyms and rhyming words. A cool little tool!
Thesaurus and word tools for your creative needs
I would like to know if you’ve used these Literary Resources? if so what did you think of the resources and why. If you haven’t used these resources would you like to? If so why?
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
