This is a great word matching game that develops vocabulary and word understanding for school-aged children. In single-player mode you will learn and practice important word skills. Match rhyming words, prefixes and suffixes, synonyms, homophones, adjectives, and more. You can also choose to collaborate with a friend in team mode. The multi-touch iPad screen allows both players to play simultaneously, so you can work together to weather the vocabulary storm.
Our favorite is versus mode where they can play head-to-head. Disrupt your opponent with weather attacks like tornadoes and blizzards! Bluster includes over 800 vocabulary words. Choose a skill to practice and then students try to make matches of three. Ten matches wins a round.
Scribble Press! One of my absolute favorites!
How do you use Scribble Press Carrie?
These are great, Danielle! I have one to add: Montessori Crosswords. It’s absolutely amazing for phonics and letter-sounds. Thanks for starting this list-I’ve always looking for good apps!

These are great. I just got an Ipad at work and am looking for some tried and true apps. Question – I wonder if you (or someone out there) might know of a white noise generator app that allows for selected levels of volume (e.g., level 1 quietest- level 10 loudest). I went to a conference a while back and got a great noise desensitization protocol that I can use with the Ipad for a student I have but I can’t find the app name in my notes and the presenter has not responded to my emails. Anyone know the app???? Thanks!
Just found your blog and love the info. I use Story Kit quite a bit. Phonics Genius is great for older kids who can read….lots of target words. I also find a lot of apps @ smartappsforkids.com thet always have a good free app of the day. Today they had one for tracking data. I am going to download
I just got an ipad for Christmas and downloaded all of your suggestions. Thanks for helping me get started!
