The slideshow below features some of my favorite free and inexpensive apps that general education teachers can use to support English Language Learners and kids with special needs. The price for each is under the blue “View in iTunes” button. Click on any app’s icon and you’ll be taken to iTunes where you can download the iPad/iPhone versions.
Here are some of my other favorite apps:
10 awesome apps for K-6 literacy
5 free apps for digital storytelling and sharing kids’ ideas
5 apps that encourage social play and collaboration

What apps have been helpful for your ELL/ESL/ESOL kids and students with special needs? Please share your favorites in the comments!
