Teach Your Monster to Read

Teache Your Monster to Read is a wonderful new site/app for Game Based Learning that I just found out about from Ozge Karagolu's amazing blog.  Basically, a student creates a monster that they can then use to play educational games involving letters/words working on their phonics and reading skills.  This is a highly engaging game and best of all has an educational portal where educators can create/manage student accounts.

Tic-Tac Bananas

Tic-Tac Bananas is a fun iOS/Android app that combines learning w/ Tic-Tac-Toe.  This is a 2 player game designed for kids 4-8 yrs old that focuses on: word recognition, phonics, and decoding.  The way this works is the first player taps on a square and then has to select the correct letter to spell out the picture.  If they are correct they get the square and the next player goes, if not the square is still open for anyone.  This is a fun simple game to play w/ high replay value for players.

Froggy Phonics

Froggy Phonics is an excellent iOS/Android app for PreK-2nd grade students working on Phonics.  The way this works is a student guides a frog to jump from lily pad to lily pad collecting words that starts w/ a certain letter(s).  As the frog lands on the correct word they gobble up fireflies.  Once a user collects enough fireflies they unlock a "special" feature/photo.  The farther along a student goes the more words they'll unlock (over 900) as well as more boards and other characters.
