Today's reviews:
Early Childhood:
The Lonely Beast 123 by James Kelleher
https://appsto.re/us/W91HM.i
Normally $1.99
This app is a counting storybook about a monster in a visual scene. The student taps on items in the monster's house starting with 1 and ending with 12 (count 5 books, pictures in frames on the wall, etc.). Some of the items will do animation and/or sound effects when you tap them. What I like about it is other items on the visual scene do animation, so it is a good app for Occupational Therapists to work on finger isolation, visual discrimination and figure ground.
Elementary:
Alphabet Letter Tracing | Learn to Write Alphabet Letters by Red Ape Mobile
https://appsto.re/us/GYe26.i
Normally $0.99
It's hard to find free, errorless handwriting tracing apps that provide visual cues AND that can be used with older students. The cues are just arrows and the reward is simply stars (no cupcakes or trains). What I don't like about the app is that it is only errorless and there are not many options. Remember it's just a tracing app, so it doesn't provide instruction really, but a great way for students with emergent handwriting skills to practice.
Middle/High School:
QUEST : Level up your life by SangHeon Kim
https://appsto.re/us/d0mE4.i
Normally $1.99
This is a super easy to use to-do list that has a hero themed game icons (knight with a sword, treasure chests, etc). You can set a reminder for your task. This is a great alternative to homework planners for students who need something very simple or a fun alternative to the reminders app that comes on the iPad. When you complete a task you swipe the task from left to right and your hero will rush off and give you a gem for your treasure chest. The more tasks you complete, the higher level you become. The things I don't like about the app is that there is not a prioritization and is that the most frequent reminder is just once a day (so you can't use it for prompting like pay attention, take a sensory break, etc.).
