Yeah, We've Got an App for That

Learning A-Z continually works to find innovative, creative ways to get the most useful educational resources into the hands of students and teachers. As a pioneer in delivering leveled readers and other content via the Web, we are proud to now partner with Language Technologies in offering our resources as Apps Edition(TM) ReadSmart on Apple's dynamic App Store.

 

We're offering eleven free apps as well as one hundred twenty (120) Reading A-Z leveled readers available for purchase at Apple'siTunes® App Store as ReadSmart Edition™ Apps. This catalog is the largest release of PreK-6 reading skills and literacy educational materials ever offered on the App Store and designed specifically for the iPhone® and iPod® touch.

 

Literacy is the foundation of all learning, but not all children learn at the same level or in the same way. As more schools integrate handheld devices into their classrooms, we think it is crucial to provide even wider access to our resources, and we view this offering as another way Learning A-Z can help teachers differentiate their instruction with customized learning solutions for each student. We also see this as an opportunity for parents to purchase developmentally appropriate resources that increase a child's reading outside the classroom.
