Although I spend a lot of time with the early childhood population, I titled this Apps for Young Children as these apps may be appropriate for early childhood and/or students in primary grades as well.

Chipper's Rainy Day Adventure by Invent-A-Tale
This short story gives students opportunities to answer questions, make predictions and make choices about the story.

There were lite and full versions of this app in the iTunes Store; however, both were free so I chose the full version which also has a matching activity. This adorable version of the story has a modern twist. Practice answering questions, describing characters and houses, and retelling the story. Recreate the play by having students pretend to be the characters. Props would be easy - a helmet, flowers, and magazines. Paper props for the houses and materials can be found at Kizclub.com.
