LAZ Reader Apps

LAZ Reader apps are brought to the App Store by a company called Learning A-Z, Inc. This company brings leveled reader books online. A leveled book is one that’s matched to a reader’s skill level.  The books are supposed to not be too easy and not too difficult either. Learning A-Z, Inc. has taken their leveled reading books and turned them into apps. They are not the fanciest storybook apps, but that’s not the point. The point is to give your child something that’s just right for them to read. The stories aren’t read aloud, there are no sound effects or animations. Some may miss the bells and whistles but I think this type of app meets a need for some of the older readers who are using mom and dad’s iPhone. They don’t need a preschooler’s storybook app. They need to practice their reading skills and these apps allow them to do just that.

The LAZ Reader apps are leveled the way that they would be in a classroom. Levels aa to D are meant for average Kindergarten readers. E-J is for 1st grade, K-Q for 2nd grade, R-U for 3rd and V-Z for 4th and 5th grades. Each level should have one free app that’s available. After that they are $.99 each or available in a set for the level at $6.99.

If your child needs a little extra practice in reading I suggest that you find their appropriate level and try out the free app. It won’t cost you a thing and you just mind find exactly what your child needs to sharpen up their reading skills.
