| I am looking for learning apps that my not-yet-reader/writer kindergartener could do while my older child focuses on doing homework. Any suggestions? She is definitely interested in learning how to read and write... |

| My kid likes Endless Alphabet, Reader, etc. Also one of the Cookie Monster ones lets her build words while making cookies. |

I thought endless reader etc were very nicely done but they also weren't especially effective in teaching much of anything.
In my experience to date, apps seem better suited to teaching math than literacy. |

| My favorite was always "Sitting With Him and Being Physically Present and Not Using Electronic Devices." It was my attempt to make a human connection to learning, letting him know that I was present and interested in his learning, and delay the dependence on "apps" as long as possible. |
