My three-year old can work her iPad like a pro, so I'm always glad to provide her with quality apps! It keeps her busy - in a good way - and happy, during the hours we spend at the rink. Both if her older brothers okay competitive hockey ... ;).

I would love this program for my autistic son as he is a visual learner and would benefit greatly from this approach! We have been looking for this kind of program for years!

My son is an adult but I still feel confident he can learn to read more than a few sight words! Plus I've been pulling my hair out trying to find apps that will grab him. Would live to give it a whirl, for free.

Oh, a comprehension app, I'd love that for my son. He's a wiz with numbers but reading is such a struggle. Thanks for adding me to the drawing!

Looks like a great app... love that it's different from learning with phonics.

It would be great to use. The nearby school's are using iPad's for all regular schoolchildren. To use them for teaching Autistic children would be awesome. Take it from a mother of an autistic who teaches her son at home.

I have twin sons with Autism and they both struggle with comprehension. This sounds like a great app. Thanks for sharing this opportunity!

My son is picking up on reading quickly at school and I'd love something like this to use with him at home. He's 6 and loves his iPad.

Our 12-years old daughter is reading at about the 1st grade level, yet according to her therapists she learns quickly when instructed properly. If these I-Pad apps would help her, we'll enter the drawing.

We have an iPod 3rd gen, if the app will work on that, we would like to be entered. Thanks!

This would be a great educational tool for my son.. He has been very responsive to the iPad and even started to print words written out on cards since handwriting is so difficult for him. I know this app will be something he would enjoy and help with reading skills.
