Billy Goats Gruff app for iPhone and iPad

Three Billy Goats Gruff is a traditional story app for early readers helping them develop story reading, understanding and sequencing skills with text, symbol and speech support.

Widgit’s traditional story series are ideal for students up to a reading age of eight years old. The apps have been specifically designed to support a wide ability range.

There are a range of activities with recorded speech that enable the listener to hear the intonation of each sentence as it is spoken. The activities are in two levels: Words with symbol support and text only. There are five activities in each level:

1. Listen to the Story

This activity allows the student to read/listen to the story independently

order key story events

3. Sentences marked as you go

The sentences are divided into key sections which must be sequenced correctly.

4. Sentences marked at the end

Similar sequencing activity which marks the student’s answers at the end of the page.

5. True or false

Tests student’s understanding through the use of true or false questions. There are options for speech support for the opening statement.
