Digital Learning

Thanks to a grant from Duke Energy Foundation Read and Feed purchased iPads to incorporate a digital learning component into our curriculum. We have included several apps on the iPads that are tailored to children from grades K-5. All the apps are interactive so the children can work on them with their tutors. Some of the apps include:
 

• Letterland apps for the younger kids that help teach the children about letters and word families
• 3rd & 4th grade fiction & non-fiction reading apps that include short stories followed by questions to test comprehension
• The Fry Words app helps children learn the 1000 most commonly used sight words such as- a, all, come, but, good, that, they, you, was
• Speech with Milo: Sequencing- helps tutors build children's language skills by working on order/sequencing of stories
• Montessori Crosswords-  helps kids develop their reading, writing, and spelling skills by building words from a set of 320 word-image-audio-phonics combinations using a phonics-enabled movable alphabet

We began piloting the apps at our Rolesville site in January and will continue until the end of  semester in April. The kids  love using the iPads.
