Curing Herself of Happiness

The Tilly Witch app is a really fun story that takes a look at Tilly Witch who is trying to "cure" herself from being known as the happy witch. It is based on the book by Don Freeman, so you may already be familiar with the story. The story is ideal for kids five and under, with child-friendly content that won't be scary for them. The app has educational as well as entertainment value as it's great for word and image association. This is the way kids start to learn how to read and really build their vocabulary.

The Reading Experience

The Tilly Witch app has a number of features to point out including the fact that it offers three different reading modes. There is auto play in which the story will be read to your child and the pages will automatically advance; in read to me mode the story is read to the user but he or she needs to advance the page and he can interact with objects on the page; and there is read myself where kids can read on their own and touch a word when they need a little help figuring it out. The app also features text highlighting so when the word is read to your child, it is highlighted, again helping her to build her vocabulary.
