FarFaria GIVEAWAY - You REALLY don't want to miss this chance to win!!!!!

Wednesday, July 30, 2014
I have to share with you one of my favorite finds this summer!  It is FarFaria!!! 



I am so excited about this app! I have tried many ways to make my reading center an engaging center, but having a variety of books on the right levels or a variety of books with CD's for students to listen to is expensive and a lot to keep up with.  I think choice is important - of course we all know that kids will read more and stay engaged if they get to pick books THEY want to read.  Enter FarFaria.  FarFaria is an app that has over 750 illustrated children's books and 5 new books are added each week! Books are leveled P-4:  P for Preschool and 4 would be for fluent readers grades 2, 3 and 4.  This gives so many options for my reading center!

The app is SO easy for kids to use!  It also gives the option for them to read the story or have the story read to them.  I have spent a lot of time playing with this app myself and I love that all of the stories would appeal to my first graders.  There is a huge variety of stories!!!   There are stories my first graders can read on their own (P-2), but they will also love having the higher level stories read to them.

There are 11 different "islands" to visit on the Explore page.  Students will choose an "island" (like Animal Kingdom, Fairy Tale Falls, Genius Jungle, etc...) to see the stories listed.  My favorite island is Mt. Make Believe!

  2. I went in today to look around. Summer school has been using my room since school let out. Let's just say I walked in and then threw up my hands and walked out. Good thing I don't start until Sept. 3rd
