Using your own photos and sentences (rather than the pre-packaged variety), this early reading experience lets you make your own sentence creation drill that will have meaning to your children. The presentation is dry, but it could be potentially useful. Here's how it works. You start by taking a photo, or using photos already stored on your iPad or iPhone picture library. Next you are prompted to type a sentence about the picture. It might be something like "The dog is jumping over a log." When you play your story, you see your picture, as each word of the sentence floats by on a cloud. When you touch the words in order, you hear the word read aloud, and see your sentence being constructed. The idea is that children can play with sentence structure, key sight words, and grammar. Incorrect words just buzz and don't do anything. There are three customizable robot voices and some sample sentences to help you get started. Created by two teachers from New Zealand.
