Appy Friday the 13th Everybody!
I had such a crazy-busy week. I was going to do skip my Appy Friday post today, but then a co-worker told me that Starfall ABCs was free (Thanks Rashell!). I decided I HAD to pass it on. Little did I know that Friday the 13th is a lucky day for free apps! We have a relatively decent list of iPad apps to choose from, especially for Speech Language Pathologists!
Have a great time downloading!

Early Childhood
Starfall ABCs by Starfall Education
Normally $2.99
If there is one website that all early childhood and kindergarten teachers and parents use, it's Starfall. If you try to launch the website on your iPad though…you are sadly disappointed. It's a flash based website. Your only choice is to use their app. Just like the website, the app opens to the splash page with all the letters of the alphabet to explore. Not only does it work on learning letters, your students work on letter sounds and listen to alphabet/phonics songs. As an OT, I like to work on pre-mouse skills and finger isolation using the app (or website on a touch screen). It gives great visual cues to show the student where to tap. Starfall have a free version, but today the full version is free! Quick! Download it NOW!
*Also free on Android today! Go to Android section for link.
Elementary
Sight Words Parking Lot by Teach Speech Apps, LLC (Pre-K to 1st grade)
Normally $0.99
This is a sight word app that isn't just tapping on the sight word out of a field. The student picks a car color (blue, red and silver) you tap on "sight word" to hear the word and then you park the car in the right spot. You can choose a car noise if it's correct or a chime. If your student is just learning sight words, you can turn on the ability for a student to tap on each of the sight words to preview them and then they can simply match. The thing I don't like about it is that you can't select the word lists or add your own words.
Occupational Therapists can use this with car enthusiast students who mastered sight words but need a novel practice activity for finger isolation and visual discrimination. One of the reasons I chose this app to review was to let you know that all the apps from Teach Speech Apps are free today, so this is a chance for everyone (especially SLPs) to stock up!
Middle-High School
PDF Expert 5 - Fill forms, annotate PDFs, sign documents by Readdle
Normally $9.99
There are many apps for annotating PDFs. My issue is so many aren't free and once you spend the money on them they disappoint you. This one is great. Once I got used to the navigation, it took me very little time to start using, which is a must for my middle and high schoolers. They need it to be intuitive! You could open a PDF from several online sources (dropbox, google drive, etc.) and then just type on top of it, draw circles, highlight, stamp and sign. Then open in another app on your iPad or share.
Also Free today!
