Smart Apps For Kids

Good Free App of the Day: SpellingCity offers spelling games for ages 5-18 for FREE

Spelling has never been my strong suit. Just ask our editor. I'm talking about times when spell check cannot figure out what word I am attempting to type. So I got all kinds of happy when I found Vocabulary SpellingCity, a spelling app preloaded with vocabulary as well as ten fun activities. My excitement grows when I discovered the sample lists cover kindergarteners learning color words to high schoolers working on SATs. Plus personal lists can be created by the user or a teacher for the whole class. Then add to it that the app is FREE and I'm doing cartwheels.

Best Elementary School Apps: TeachMe: Third Grade allows kids to practice grade-level skills in a fun way

 

 

Bottom Line: TeachMe: Third Grade, the final app in 24x7digital's TeachMe series, continues with the same format as TeachMe: Second Grade, broadening a bit into grade-appropriate skills. While it is still a consistently solid app with tons of content, I would have liked to see the presentation and functionality of it grow along with the user as much as the skills did.

Best Elementary School Apps: TeachMe: Second Grade — extensive review and testing of second grade skills

 

 

Bottom Line: A wonderful app for testing skills like spelling, addition and subtraction on a second grade level. The vast amount of content is enough to both keep your kids occupied and satisfy your pocketbook. Kids can earn coins and buy rewards in the different stores provided.
