As a follow up to my recent list on Math Sites/Apps found here, I've decided to compile a list of my favorite learning tools for reading.  Mobile Learning and BYOD make it easier for any student to learn any core subject, especially that of reading. Finally, this list does includes tools that help with comprehension and language arts as a whole.  This list is in alphabetical order.

One evening last week, I collapsed into bed after homework was finished, lunches were packed, and bedtime stories were read and happened upon an impassioned Los Angeles Times op-ed by high school political science teacher Jeremy Adams. In it, Adams decries his students’ lack of interest in reading and places the blame squarely on smartphones. My kids are still young, but I’m always thinking of how to instill in them a passion for books, so I read on...on my smartphone.
