Read Write Think, a website from NCTE and the International Reading Association has 9 Mobile Apps that may be useful to you for teaching. These apps are meant to engage students in literacy learning. Apps include those for writing poetry, for trading cards, for timelines, and for Venn diagrams.
While these apps mostly lend themselves to substitution, the scaffolding provided in the apps and the ease of moving items around may move the usage to augmentation. What you do with the final product or how you frame the activity may move the use to modification or redefinition. These apps may be useful for App Smashing (combining products from one or more apps into another app).

- Acrostic Poems
- Alphabet Organizer for creating an alphabet book/chart
- Diamante Poems
- Haiku Poems
