I’ve got a new review for you today with one of Smarty Ears’ latest apps! First, let me just say that one of the things that I like to target during RtI is vocabulary.

It’s Friday! Unfortunately, I’ve only got like 2 more free Fridays before school starts back up. Sigh… I’m enjoying it while it lasts. It’s FAQ time.

I am so very excited to show you this next project. It has been a work-in-progress for several months now. It’s such a great feeling to finally be finished!

It has to be included… Read More
