Draw and Tell FREE iPad App
Draw and Tell - by Duck Duck Moose is "a unique drawing and
coloring app designed for young kids. It encourages visual and
verbal storytelling by including an option for kids to record their
own voice in conjunction with the drawing or coloring pages. Kids
can choose from a variety of different backgrounds, colors,
characters, objects, and stencils to create drawings. Then they can
write or draw directly onto a scene. When done designing and
setting up a scene, kids can record the story -- however they
envision it in their imagination. If they choose, they can move
stickers around to add action to the scene. To keep it basic for
younger users, kids can simply color dozens of ready-made
templates or free draw with no recording. The app saves creations
for sharing and for kids' self-reflection, but kids can't go back into a
recording to add to or change it. Draw and Tell - by Duck Duck
Moose is a colorful, engaging way for kids to start multifaceted
storytelling." Review from Commonsense Media

Write Reader FREE - Chrome Browser based - Chrome Book or iPad

Do you have Chrome Books in your classroom? Is there an

opportunity for students to compose their own eBooks ? Set up a
teacher account and try this free tool for young writers.

WriteReader is a unique digital learning platform where children

from age 3–10 can learn to read by writing and publish small digital
books.

With the WriteReader app the child takes pictures of family,

friends, things or situations and write about them in their actual
level of written language. A teacher or parent then “translates” the
child's text to conventional writing and by comparing their own
attempt to the edited version the child will step by step improve
his/her writing and reading capabilities.

The child can later in an easy way share his/her books with friends
and family. This way the child experiences in an early age what the
written language can do, which can have big influence on the
child's motivation and learning capabilities
Book Creator FREE iPad App
Book Creator is an amazingly easy-to-use digital bookmaking
tool. This app is accessible even to kids in early years classrooms
to produce and publish their own simple books or comics with
images, videos, and audio. The online version also allows students
to collaborate on a single ebook which is a fabulous feature.

Readers can access published books via iBooks or other online

sources, or books can be printed on paper.

Book Creator is available as an app for the iPad or online via your
Chrome Browser.

Book Creator is not free - there are various free, paid or

subscription options. It is, however, a very powerful tool which can
be used from K-6 in so many ways. It probably is a worthwhile
investment .

It is available as:

● a paid iPad app with volume licensing - unlimited books for

individual students but no class option
● as a class subscription using a Chrome Browser.( Chrome Book
or Laptop) Teachers can have one class for free with a limit of 40
books in total.
