The Best 50 Free iPad Apps for Preschoolers

June 11, 2014
A few days ago I posted here in Educational Technology and Mobile Learning a chart featuring some of the popular apps for early literacy learners. Following this post, somebody shared with me this wonderful slideshow created by Emily Llyod which outlines 50 iPad apps on the same topic. While almost all of the apps I shared in my chart are also featured in this presentation, the great thing about Emily's work is the structured organization of these apps into 5 main categories with each category corresponding to a target skill. These categories are : write together, read together, play together,sing together, talk together.

Here is a chart I created where I listed all the apps Emily reviewed in her slideshow. You can download this chart from this link.
