It’s a quick and easy way to for children to have access to all of the letters they need without having to sort and tidy throughout the day! You can easily take a set of iPads and this app in a short carpet time after reading the story. The paid version comes with lowercase letters. Use this app just like you would the physical resource! Let children explore with letter shapes and sounds to make up their own nonsense words or silly sentences for you to read. Maybe children want to write nonsense words or silly sentences to read and record in this app. They can select from a variety of funny voice effects to alter how they sound reading and talking. Here, you can teach children to press record to capture their voice reading the story or making up their own silly sentences. Now switch from ‘Studio’ to ‘Fun’ on the central tabs. GarageBand is a powerful music making app but don’t let it put you off! Use the scrolling menu of instruments to get to Audio Recorder. You’ll also see when it is quiet as the bars are skipped out because there is no incoming sound to the microphone! You can read the book and capture when children laugh. As the seconds pass in real time, each line visualises the sound recorded that second. As children read the nonsense words of the book, they could screenshot (press and hold the sleep/wake button and home button) then paint their sound explosion from the saved image. These visualisations give illustrations to the way the words sound in the book. Sensory Mica will make visual sound ‘explosions’ on screen. Again, they use the microphone and respond to incoming sound without children need to press record. These are two free apps which visualise sound in different ways.
