Literacy
Amazing online reading library for kids. You can choose books suitable to each child's reading level and assign them using a read to me option. The children get points for each book they read and they can use these points in the reward centre on the site to play games /buy things etc. SUPER !!! Amazing during lockdown and we have continued it during the Summer hols too.

A free website that allows a teacher to set up individual accounts for students. There is a placement test and each new comprehension is based on the score from the previous one. The students really enjoyed using it during lockdown and in class.  I use the ‘add to home screen’ option to make it easily accessible for students using an iPad. I think using it on Microsoft edge would be a fantastic help as students could utilise the immersive reader function. Shauna Maher

This is an online quiz and students can play against each other in teams. There are online quizzes or you can make your own. Students are given 4 options to chose from. Questions can contain pictures, audio or video to cater for all students. Great for revision or retrieval practice. Set up a teacher account and then a code is generated that the students enter on their device.

I have found accessing books  through StoryLine realy useful for a pupil who  engaged more with an online  version at home , as he was reluctant to use  an actual book .  It has been great for another pupil who heard the book  being read and then was in a position to give  his opinion in class too.

These apps are free an dparticularly useful for initial sounds and blending with Junior Infants

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I like nearly everything about this app - the option to turn on/off the card and blank sounds is great. The letter sounds all sound great, for example /b/ for b instead of /buh/ like you may hear on many other apps.

I agree with the previous commenter that the vowels should be in red and the consonants in blue. It's the standard that I'm used to seeing with print materials. Finally, I would promote this more broadly as a learn-to-read app rather than just spelling. This activity is highly receptive - you see the picture, see the letters, hear the sounds.

Thank you for your feedback. In some of the recent updates, the app has been updated to include the option for red vowels and blue consonants.

Latest Book recommendation on Dyslexia - Overcoming Dyslexia by Sally Shaywitz 

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
"Sally Shaywitz is an amazing woman, and no one has a better understanding of dyslexia and how it affects young children. Her work in this field is unmatched. One in five children of all classes, genders, and races have dyslexia, and it must be recognized early. These children think fast but read slow, through no fault of their own. Some of them are brilliant, but their brilliance often goes unrecognized. Sally's tireless advocacy for those who have this learning disability has to be an inspiration for anyone who values early learning, systems of intelligence, and how to combat the many false perceptions of dyslexia. Her constant fight to change public policy as it relates to the way dyslexia functions and is understood in the nation's schools should be deeply meaningful to anyone who cares about children in today's world." --Bob Dylan "In this gem of a book, Dr. Sally Shaywitz uses her voice, her images, her brain-and yes, her heart-to shine a piercing and clarifying light on what we so inadequately call 'dyslexia.' What is more, she shows how almost everyone can overcome it." --Daniel D. Federman, M.D., "Fascinating. . . . Shaywitz has illuminated the inner workings of dyslexic minds." --Time

"An important book.... For the first time, scientists are understanding how the brain works...in the act of reading. Front and center now is Sally Shaywitz." -The Baltimore Sun

A fantastic resource and tool to work with. The child I'm working with has received a lot of training from Conor, as has his parents. My approach to help increase this child's confidence was to pretend that I knew nothing about it and that he was to teach me how to use the new piece of training that Conor had shown him.
For example, this child showed me how to highlight text, and click on the reader to read the text. He was then able to apply this to textbooks being used in class. His language improved by explaining the method, and his enthusiasm was evident from his ability to 'teach' me.
