Recently updated (June 26, 2012), My Story, is another great writing app for the iPad. The cost of this app is $1.99 but I was able to get it on a day that it was FREE 🙂

Kids can easily create an unlimited number of their own books. They can illustrate, take photos from the app, or use pictures from the photo library in their stories. Each page has an area for kids to type in words. They can also record themselves reading their books. Finalized stories can read directly from the app, be published to iBooks, and/or shared via email with anyone who owns an iPhone or iPad.

Watch the video and learn more about this app here: My Story – Book Maker for Kids.

What a great way for your child to share their life experiences with grandparents and other loved ones – take photos of your day (at the zoo, in the park, etc.) and let your child narrate the experience! Voice recording remain intact when the book is shared. You can type in the text later so your child can hear himself narrating/reading the book. Kids will make the connection that the words in books are really just “talk written down.”

In the classroom kids can share their stories with friends through iBooks, write and present digital reports, keep ongoing vocabulary books and/or journals etc.

Highly recommended!!
