App a Day: I'm a big fan of flashcards for reinforcement of academic subjects -- they make information stick in my kids' brains better than anything else -- and I've been known to tote some in my purse if I know we'll have a time to kill in a waiting room or at a restaurant table. This'll be easier: an app that puts customizable flashcards on an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad. Talking Flashcards, to be specific, with a voice option to read questions and answers to your child. You can input information for your own cards, or upload sets of cards on popular subjects from Quizlet.com. According to the theraTech Solutions site, Talking Flashcards was developed by a speech language pathologist specializing in assistive technology who has experience working with kids with different learning styles. From the site, you can learn more about the app, watch a tutorial on using it, and follow a link to buy it for $3.99 at the iTunes store.
