Counting Bees by Piikea St. LLC, normally $0.99

This is a cute app that works on one to one correspondence for numbers 1-20. Drag bees one at a time onto flowers. It follows the path you drag and then counts the bees for you. For Occupational Therapists this also works on visual discrimination and fine motor precision.

Bud's Rhyming words - kids learn word families, CVC, short and long vowel sounds by NimbleMinds LLC, normally $3.99

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/buds-rhyming-words-kids-learn/id866965757?mt=8
You work on finding words that rhyme using pictures/words with three different games. Word families works on matching pictures to words for each word family. Pick and match you identify the picture that rhymes with an array of pictures. Catch the match you move the scuba diver with arrows to capture the rhyming word (text only). I would start with the "word families" activity first because otherwise it's hard to know what some of the pictures are. For Occupational Therapists, catch the match activity would also work on visual motor integration.

Middle/High School
