Some iPad apps for kindys
Reading/Writing apps
Read Me Stories is similar to Tumblebooks. It has books that students can read to themselves or have read to them with the words being highlighted in the text as they're read. The first book in each series is free, but then the additional books in the series must be paid for. The three series I looked at were each $1.99 for the remainder of the books in the series.
ABC Genius for letter recognition - activites and games. Good for letter recognition, letter tracing, and vocabulary building. Has pictures of things like avocados and asparagus for the letter A section. Free app for some of the activities. $2.99 opens all letters.
Little Speller - students "spell" words by matching up letters. App says the word, says the letters as they're placed, then says the whole word.
Rocket Speller works the same way as Little Speller, but students are trying to reach different levels to get the pieces to build a rocket ship.
