Review: LitCharts is an easy to navigate app (and website) that has literary guides for a huge range of popular texts.  The app is extremely interactive, with clickable links to a variety of different topics, including themes, definitions, character analyses, etc.  This app has a spot for the reader to include comments at the bottom, making it slightly more interactive than some of the other apps I’ve reviewed, but it still is somewhat limited to providing information, not so much applying it (at least not directly).  This reminds me of the “always on” “always on me” reading that we had this year, before if a student wanted to study or read, they had to remember to bring their book, go to the library, as ask a parent to get them a study guide.  With apps like LitCharts, they always have that ability to study, access information for discussions, etc.
