Many iPad apps are available to support learners with reading and writing difficulties. This ‘Wheel of Apps’ is not comprehensive, but
attempts to identify relevant, useful apps and to categorise them according to some of the difficulties faced by people with dyslexia. Note
that some apps address a range of difficulties. In order to save space, we have decided not to place individual apps into multiple categories,
but have placed them according to a single category that is particularly relevant to the app. Links on the electronic version are ‘clickable’.
A more comprehensive guide to Apps to Support Literacy Difficulties is included in CALL Scotland’s iPads for Communication, Access,
Literacy and Learning book, available as a printed book and as a free download from: http://www.callscotland.org.uk/downloads/Books/
This ‘Wheel of apps’ for dyslexia is inspired by previous visual app representations:
• The Padagogy Wheel - Allan Carrington
• Mobile Learning with Bloom’s Taxonomy & the Padagogy Wheel - Cherie Pickering & Amanda Pickering
• Apps for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders - Mark Coppin.
These are all available from various web sites, but can all be downloaded from: http://apps4stages.wikispaces.com/AppWheels.
CALL Scotland has also produced a wheel of iPad Apps for Complex Communication Support Needs: Augmentative and Alternative
Communication (AAC), available from http://www.callscotland.org.uk/downloads/posters-and-leaflets.

Version 1.3, June 2015 CALL Scotland, The University of Edinburgh.

CALL Scotland is part funded by Scottish Government.
