What is it? It is a fabulous app that is chock full of stories!
It is divided into many lands. You can pick from places such as Animal Kingdom (full of animal stories), Adventure Island, and Mount Make Believe. You pick the one you are after and a range of different stories are available for you to read.
When you are presented the stories, you can choose to sort them by title, newest or even level, which is fantastic in the classroom :)
After it downloads a story, it gives you 3 options- Auto play, Read to Me and Read myself which is fantastic as students can listen to the story and then read the same text themselves.
FarFaria currently has 600 illustrated children books with 5 new books being added each week!
The app is free to download (and you can access one story per day) OR you can try monthly memberships to access the stories - only $3.99 per month.

I would love to try this out with my preschooler! We love technology around here and this is certainly educational!
ReplyDeleteThanks for blogging about this Brooke, it sure does look good.
ReplyDeleteI'm always looking for great apps for my students (even though I only have 2 Ipads and one is my personal Ipad). This app looks great for reading!
ReplyDeleteLooks great. I am keen to try out the Mt Make Believe. It sounds like it wouls compliment our fairy tale unit we are currently studying in K/1
