REVIEW: Footsteps2Brilliance | edSurge | Scriveners' Trappings | Scoop.it

By Vicki Windman

 

"As I was browsing through the Tech and Learning magazine in November last year, I came across a review of Footsteps2Brilliance written by Lisa Nielsen, titled “iPad Literacy Program Increases Reading and Writing Ability.” She wrote: “With a tool like this assessing student progress, there should no longer be a need for outdated, standardized bubble tests.” With those words of endorsement, I knew I had to try it.

 

"Footsteps2Brilliance consists of 18 storybooks at the K-3 reading level. The texts can be highlighted to help independent readers focus on the key points, and also be read aloud to a student. The stories are also filled with interactive and animated illustrations."
