Reflections on Observation Task 5: Literacy Software / Web-based Programs

1. Were there any literacy software/web based programs used in the classroom?
If there were, select (a); if there were not, select (b).

a) Provide at least two (2) literacy/web-based programs that the teacher can use to help
assist her students in developing their early literacy skills.

There are three applications can be downloaded to the digital device to incorporate
children learning literacy one of the best apps is:

1- iWriteWords application: That is appropriate for children age group from ( 3-5) years
old, it’s a game that help children form the letters then words by tracing then it rewords
them by cute drawing that encourage them to move to the next level and it work as a
great motivation.
2- Learn With Homer application: that is appropriate for age group (5 and under) it has
attractive and interactive games, songs, rhymes and stories of different genres that
