Raising Jordans

Another app review is up on the Yellin Center Blog.  Last time it was a writing platform, and this time it is a really, really exceptional reading program.  It is by far one of my favorite reading technologies out there.  Not only does it have a high level of craftsmanship and aesthetic appeal but it is also thoroughly entrenched in the best research on early literacy.  The people who back and created this application are a collective group of really smart cookies.  This isn’t an  edutainment app to mesmerize your child, and it sure isn’t a technological babysitter.  It is a really robust, in depth reading program that has the data to back up its claims (they even publish it all so you don’t have to take my word for it).  Beyond it’s educational merit and pure, clean beauty, Learn with Homer is also a Brooklyn based company (actually their office is more or less walking distance from my house). So naturally I am just all the more enthused because I love repping local products.  So check our their website, and also my in depth review on the Yellin Center Blog.  On the latter you will find a chronicling of the multitude of reasons why I as a learning specialist love it so much, as well as the benefits it has for both teachers and parents alike.  Trust me, you are going to love it.
