Free Apps to Use in Your Classroom

It’s not about spending money; it’s about choosing the right FREE App! We’re well aware that while some Apps claim to be free, you can end up paying for an expensive, ongoing subscription, so we’ve created a list of Apps that are absolutely free and Get Reading Right approved.

They make fabulous phonics rotation activities, and can be recommended to parents who want to provide support at home with extra phonics practice.
