So you have no suggestion. Thanks. My son really likes Starfall.

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.

I would have the 5 year old start with reading/learning the kindergarten sight words.

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...
