The Essential List of Reading Apps for Kids - Apps that help a child learn to read and to improve reading fluency & comprehension!
Reading apps for kids will help your child learn to read from ABC's to comprehension and fluency! After quite a bit of research, I've come up with my own little chart (below) of the best and finest apps for kids who are learning to read and could use a little bit of digital help. 🙂
I'll keep coming back to this post so that it won't be out of date, and you can use the information to help our your own kiddo in the area of reading, no matter what level they may be at!
Oh - and by the way, if you are looking for a tablet or device for your child, make sure to get one that you can put educational apps on (and parental controls, too).
