OrdinaryTime Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Letterschool is a great handwriting app that my kids love. It has several font options, including Handwriting without Tears. It takes the kids through a three step process, progressively building skills. Plus it has fun, whimsical graphics that my kids love. I have seen real improvement in my kids handwriting since using it. Hungry Guppy is a fun math app that builds early math skills. Also, we like Montessori Board for Montessori style early math work. Also, we like Readings Eggs app for sight words. It is like the Fruit Slice game but with sight words. It is more fun than flash cards!

My son has only ever played that fruit slice game at the Verizon store while waiting for me to talk to the sales rep, but he LOVES it, so I am excited to check out the Reading Eggs sight word app. Also, I am always looking for anything to make handwriting practice more fun because he really doesn't like to do anything handwriting related. Looking forward to checking these things out. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnMomof7 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 We've used all the apps in the Kindergarten category of my app reviews: http://appsforhomeschooling.com/category/1bygradeandage/3kindergarten/ Lots of great recommendations here already too - DON'T miss LetterSchool or Reading Raven (I don't have reviews for them yet).

SnMomof7 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I don't have it but TeachMe: Kindergarten was on sale from $1.99 to $0.99 last time I checked a couple of days ago :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewe Mama Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 My dc also love the Teach Me series. I wish they went beyond grade 2, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longnightmoon Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Not necessarily a kindergarten level app but my dd loves Stack the States. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghee Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 We have enjoyed Bugsy Math. Also, bugs and buttons. I want to buy bugs and bubbles next. Circus letters is good because it won't let them do a letter backward or out of order, you must do it correctly. I've tried other handwriting apps that, if the finished product was right it passed you. DS would do weird things and it still said it was ok, circus letters won't.
