Create trading cards for any number of categories, including:
• Fictional person
• Real person
• Fictional place
• Real place
• Object
• Event
• Vocabulary word
Each category has specific guiding questions for creating a dynamic, information-rich trading card. Summarizing skills are critical as they drill down to the most important information to fit on the card. In addition, they become aware of writing for an audience because they can share their cards with others.
Part of the appeal of trading cards is being able to sort them into collections. Have kids and teens build a collection of cards for characters from their favorite book, landmarks in their favorite city, events from a period in history they find interesting, or vocabulary words by school subject.

I worked with students using this app and they asked for the download because they couldn't wait to make their own trading cards of their favorite singers and actors. Imagine, students asking to do homework!!!
This is an excellent app from ReadWriteThink. They have taken some of their online interactive pieces and made them accessible in other formats. Kudos! I used this with a middle school student who said she would use it to make flash cards to study for homework. This has great applications for the Language Arts classroom as well as other content areas. I would recommend this one!
This is a great app! If I might suggest, I would like to see if you could add real and fictional animals.
I had to use this app for a group project and I would like it if there would be a way to trade cards with other users of this app.
Great app. It would be nice if there was a card for animals as well as one that would allow the user to come up with their own catagories.
Love this app! It has great possibilities! I will use it in a variety of settings Love it!
I LOVED this app! But now that I've updated my iPad mini, half of the screen gets cut off. All my work in inaccessible. Please fix.
I loved this app. And then iOS 7 came out. Now I can't use the app at all due to half the screen being cut off since the app will no longer turn landscape. I would love it if this could be fixed! If it does get fixed, I will change my review to 5 stars.
This is a very good app overall but it won't turn the screen horizontal and I can not see the question and it is very hard app to use. Fix please!! Thanks
