Tips:
- Project your iPad to teach kids how to use each app (see word work).
- Make one student an "expert" so when another student has a question they can go to that student instead of interrupting reading groups or interventions.
- Give students goals for how long a story should be and limit how many they can have at one time. If you aren't specific they may have too many projects at once and never finish.

| Type Drawing $1.99 |
This app can be used to make pictures with words. For example you can type in the word banana and then draw a banana with the word banana. As you slide your finger across the screen the word(s) you typed will show up and repeat until you stop. This can be done with one word, multiple words, or a sentence. The font can be changed as well as the size and color. I think this would be fun to use for writing poetry!
- Tip: If you rotate the iPad it will not rotate the way the words type. If the words appear to be not typing in order rotate the iPad.
