Sentence Master

Sentence Master is a fun iOS app to help students work on their Language Arts and Grammar skills.  This is done through a simple game where users select a word (from a list of scrambled ones) to form a correct sentence.  Scoring is done by how fast a person completes the sentence.  Sentence Master has 4 difficulty settings and is also multiplayer.

GrammarFlip

GrammarFlip is an excellent site for students looking to practice and work on their Grammar.  The way this works is that a student watches a educational video on grammar (i.e. parts of a sentence, punctuation, etc) and then completes interactive exercises.  Not only is this ideal for self paced learning, but this can help educators differentiate instruction as well as "flip" a classroom/lesson.  Best of all are the detailed reports that gives real-time assessment for teachers.

Quill

Quill is an excellent new site for working on proof reading skills such as punctuation and grammar that I just learned about from Richard Byrne's blog.  This site allows students to login and correct Reading passages that teachers have selected.  Best of all, Quill analyzes the results and shows students what they have gotten wrong w/ a walkthrough explaining the correct answer.

Rewordify

Rewordify is a site I just found out about from an email from the creator and former educator Neil Goldman.  This is an excellent site that not only helps English language learners it helps students who are having trouble w/ hard sentences or paraphrasing sentences.  The way this works is simply by copying/pasting text or URL and click "Rewordify".  Also, there is a neat "smart highlighting" tool which brings up definitions of words as you highlight as well as a fantastic tutorial on how teachers can use Rewordify.

The Grading Game

The Grading Game is a wonderful iOS app that I just found out about from the equally wonderful site, Edshelf.  This is a fun and sometimes hilarious game for finding typing and grammar mistakes.  It's a very unique and easy to use game where people race against time to find all the mistakes.  Also, it is a good way to reinforce grammar and helps students strengthen their skills.
