Top Apps for Building Reading Confidence at Home:

Why I recommend it: Easy to use, fun, and designed with dyslexia in mind.
Kindles- Great for reading to the student while highlighting the words so that students can follow along.
Elephant Learning- Great for learning math conceptually
TTRS- In it’s current form it’s not ideal. However, I’ve been in contact with them for some changes to make the program more ideal for struggling readers. They will implement the changes this fall! I will update when these changes are in effect!
