Apps to Increase Reading Comprehension in Children with Autism



     Children with autism sometimes struggle comprehending meaning from text. However, reading comprehension is extremely important because it allows students to determine their own opinion and reasoning of the story. I recommend using engaging technology with children with autism because certain colors such as blue, dark yellow, and green can be used to enhance their memorization and attentions skills.  I believe technology can be used as a great tool to intrigue and improve reading comprehension for children with autism. For example, certain apps can hold children with autism attention longer. A great app I plan to use for children with autism in my classroom is Visual Reading. Although the cost is $16.99, it is worth every penny. I believe this app has the resources to improve reading comprehension and critical thinking skills. Another great app I plan to use in my classroom to help children with autism is Reading Comprehension Grade 3. I love how this app guides and rewards students, which helps motivate them to learn more as well.  Additional apps for children with autism include: Inference Clues, Same Sound Spell Bound, Opposite Ocean, Picture the Sentence Lite, Noodle Words HD, and Smarty Ears. Elementary teachers can use these apps to motivate students to create, communicate, and collaborate with their peers.
