One great app for teaching concept of word is Puppet Pal Edu. With this app, students can take a picture of their writing, select an icon to appear when they tap on each word, and read their writing as they tap on each word with their finger. This “I Love Me” book was created after Mrs. Milwit’s Kindergarten class read The Ugly Duckling. They talked about how the Ugly Duckling did not give up on himself and focused on what he did love about himself (how fast he could swim). Each student wrote a journal entry about what they love about themselves. Then they used the Puppet Pal Edu app to read their writing aloud as they track with the heart. Here is their finished class book!
