Reading Rainbow

Get it here
Cost:  Free


UDL Guideline 3.2 - Highlight patterns, critical features, big ideas, and relationship:  Highlight or emphasize key elements in text, graphics, diagrams, formulas.  This app allows students to "check out" informational text and have the options of having it read aloud while the text is highlighted, important facts are emphasized and big ideas are discussed. 


General Critique
Overall, Reading Rainbow has been a leader in literacy for over twenty-years and now users can experience that same quality through an app.  The pictures are great and the narrator pauses at important points to allow the student to digest the information.
