Free Online Reading Apps for Kids: Kindle for iPhone, Fictionwise’s eReader and More

Kindle for iPhone is the e-book reader that allows you to read electronic books on your iPhone. E-books that are sold on Amazon have to be read by using a Kindle.

If you have an iPhone, you don’t need to buy a Kindle, you can just download the app and your mobile phone will work as an e-reader.

Another e-reader is Fictionwise’s eReader 2.0.1 for iPhone. With this app you can browse multiple e-book websites and also choose the text and background colors to suit your preferences. E-books (electronic books) have become vastly popular because they are cheaper and are available more quickly to the buyer than a conventional printed book.

Book-related application software has surpassed games in the App Store, as a percentage of all applications which have been released. In October one year, 20% of all new applications launched on iPhones were books.

Some book apps are written for children. Story book applications for iPhone which are written for children are interactive and fun and have great visuals. Parents and children can read the story books together on the iPhone. Some of these are; ‘Wheels on the Bus’, ‘Little Bella’s- I Close My Eyes’ and ‘Little Red Hen’.

There are also coloring apps for kids available for iPhone which spell the names of the drawings out loud and teach kids spelling. ‘Coloring Book’, ‘Coloring Fun’ and ‘Coloring Book: Christmas’ are among the iPhone apps which can make time spent waiting in line, for example, more fun for children.

Toddler iPhone Games Free- The 2 Best iPhone Apps for Toddlers

Finding the best iPhone games for toddlers allows parents to give their child a few extra activities. While you may not necessarily leave your little one with one of these apps for more than a few minutes, it is good to know that when you need an activity to fall back on, these are just a click away.

The best iPhone apps for families are those that engage every member of the family unit, no matter what their ages are. Chances are, if an older child finds something interesting, it will be easier for siblings to do an activity together.

"Make me a Superhero" is one of the applications that I like. Maybe it's because it allows boys and girls to create their own superhero. It encourages independent think and kids actively think about the features they would like in their character.

The Tozzle Toddler is another game that I like. Kids are able to develop their spatial abilities using this application, which requires them to drag and drop a puzzle piece into the appropriate slot. There are over 30 puzzles that come with it.
