One Minute Reader iPad App Review
A Mosaic Review
"Better Tools, Better Readers, Brighter Futures"
Today I'm reviewing The One Minute Reader iPad app by Read Naturally. This is a great app that allows you to first download it free at iTunes. You start by testing your child using the placement test that is provided. It will then tell you exactly what level your child should begin with. There are six levels in all. You can purchase small sections for each level that costs $2.99-$4.99 or get the entire level for $19.99.

Batman was super excited to use the ipad for "school". W hat I liked most was the fact that there were words used in the story that I knew Batman didn't know the meaning of. Words like this are highlighted so the child simply taps on the word and the definition pops up along with a photo.
I also liked the fact that each child had to answer comprehension questions at the end of each story. I didn't feel like I had to sit next to him to help because all the work was taken care of for me.
This has been such a great tool to not only foster a love of reader with my son but to encourage growth. He's reading smoother, faster, and is learning new words and the meaning of them. I really liked the simple layout and the fact that Batman can do this program on his own and have fun doing it.
