iPads & Assisted Literacy Software (Video #5)

As I continue my research into the seemingly endless possibilities of the iPad, I came across one of the many, many, many iPad assisted literacy apps. 

The One Minute Reader app is one that caught my eye. Taking the perspective of a parent, I would definitely use this app with my child. First of all there's the price: free. 
That always works for me. Generally, you get what you paid for. But as this video shows, this assisted literacy app seems to be a winner. Geared towards struggling readers, it's used to increase fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. It does this by using methods that include modeling, motivation, repetition.
