Adult literacy programs are just beginning to use smart phone apps for tutoring.  This article provides an overview of the use of phone applications for all types of learners.  The Apps are categorized by Reading Skills, Vocabulary, Grammar, Spelling and Apps that parents could use with young children.  It includes the title, link, purpose, cost, platform and reviews if available.  The authors stress the value of parents using these with their children as a way to help the children and reinforce their own learning.  Here is a sample related to English Language Learners.
