Language Apps for the IPad

IPads can be a very motivating way to work on some communication skills with your preschooler.  If you have access to an IPad at home, these are just a few suggestions for apps you might try:

 

  • My Playhome: can be used for expressive language by having your child talk about/answer questions about/describe what is happening in the picture or can be used for following directions by asking your child to do specific things within the scene

 

  • Fun with Directions-Lite: a motivating format to follow various directions such as “touch an animal you can ride” or “give the girl something to sleep on”

 

  • Kindergarten.com: offers a variety of apps that target specific concepts such as:

            * Actions

            * What Doesn’t Belong

            * What Goes Together

            * Animals

            * Class (i.e.Which one is a kitchen item)

           * Nouns (i.e. show me the lettuce)
