I’m back with another app for you! This one isn’t free, but it is sooo good that I just had to share it. Dyslexia Quest is a great memory, attention, processing, and visualizing app that is fun to play so the students don’t even realize they’re working. Sneaky!
It comes in various levels for differentiation and gradually gets harder, no matter which level you select initially. The main character gives directions that students must remember and follow. It starts off with letters and words. After seeing a word, the word disappears and a new screen appears. Students must select the correct word (or group of letters). This requires them to really visualize the words.
In the next level (my favorite), students are given a series of verbal directions to follow. First, students hear the directions. Then a new screen appears and students have to remember what to do. For example, ring the bell. The number of directions builds so the next round might be ring the bell and spin the wheel. Are you with me? It’s fabulous!
Here it is in action.{I can’t embed the video, so here’s the link: http://www.nessy.com/dyslexiaquest/} It also tracks progress, love!
This app is great for students who need practice with memory, processing speed, and attention but it’s fun to play so everyone wins!
Hi Christi! Thanks for sharing! I need to check this app out. I have several students who would benefit from something like this.
Have a great rest of the week!

Thanks for the suggestion! I have a lot of kids who could stand to work on focus and following directions, so this will be great!

I think this looks like a great tool – you need so many ideas in your teaching belt when it comes to dyslexia – what suits one child may not suit another – and this looks fun as well!!
