Bar / Bat Mitzvah Preparation: New Technology for Your Kids
Your son or daughter may not yet be an adult, but it’s very likely they can wield a smartphone or tablet like a pro. There are many applications that can help a Mitzvah Mother get their child prepared for their bar or bat mitzvah.

Tikun Korim is a Bar Mitzvah practice application that helps a child read their Bar Mitzvah Parsha. The application is interactive, helping to coach the soon-to-be adult and ensuring that learning remains fun. The application includes an internal dictionary and is an excellent supplement to classes!
PocketTorah by Russell Neiss
The PocketTorah is a very easy to use free program which includes the entire text of the Torah and Haftarah, both in Hebrew and with a translation. Audio can quickly be turned on and off. The Torah portions are seen on screen in an easy to read format with the translations directly below to facilitate easy learning.
Hebrew Alphabet by Proffitt Ink

Even better, there’s an internal progress tracker, so you can determine how much your child has learned.
