iPad App WriteReader Teaches Kids to Read by Working on Their Writing
The standard phonetic method of teaching children to read, where kids learn the associated sounds with each letter individually before applying that knowledge to “sound out” the words they read on the page, can be a tedious and slow process for many children. The makers of cool product WriteReader believe there is a better way to help children who are struggling with the phonetic method to learn to read. WriteReader is an iPad app that engages kids in reading by teaching them to write simultaneously, intertwining the two learning processes more fluidly. The developers based the app on research specifically done to find ways to decrease the time it takes for children to learn to read.

If you have kids and want to download the application but struggle using your tablet, you should know that iPad support is always available. Read more »
