Read This
I wrote Read This as my first android app to help my daughter Ali learn how to read.
It's a simple app that will read a text file and display each word one at a time. When you touch the word, the app will read the word back to you.
Please drop me an email and let me know what you think!
You can download Read This from Android Market or using this
If you like the app and like to contribute to Ali's education fund, make a donation!

- All files must be in this directory in order for it to be scanned.
