My soon- to- be 6 year old reads lots and loves quiz/ puzzle type books but am after something digital, fun and progressive (he loves succeeding and getting to 'the next level') Anything suitable in the realms of maths, literacy, comprehension and problem solving would please him.Smile
TIA

All the Squeebles apps for maths are great. Also look at Dragonbox 5+ for logic/maths - that's probably my favourite of all and fits your brief best.

And what about coding apps like Move The Turtle (I think that's what it's called). And, not on Android, but there are some great coding games on code.org too.

ditto dragonbox 5+ and then 12+.
All my children enjoyed this but ds2 LOVED both of these, did the 12+ one aged about 6/7 years I think (he's quite good at maths but not really G or T).

opioneers and namechangingagainagain Flowers . I'll down load those you recommend this evening.

Anything on the literacy front? I should have mentioned we also have a PC.

I really recommend Khan Academy online, it has everything and goes at your child's pace and level.

mrsmortis · 09/02/2016 13:09

Does it need to be free? Or are you willing to pay? My DD started using ReadingExpress in Y1. She got the subscription through school (Her classmates were doing ReadingEggs but ReadingExpress is the same subscription so we used that instead). We've found it really good for making sure her comprehension is as good as her decoding.

Just came to report that ds1 loves Dragon box and ds2 3.5 yo is also making sure that he gets a go as it is so child friendly!

Thank you so much for all the ideas everyone, please keep them coming if you think of any others. (I am looking at each and every one of them) I don't particularly want to spend a fortune but the apps certainly don't have to be free Smile

I would recommend Khan as well.(Maths and computer programming are fantastic.) and

This is the site which made dragon box. Tree fog treasure was my ds's favourite.

Hi everyone, DS has been looking at geography of late which has triggered an interest in learning a foreign language. Can anyone point me in the best direction for that ? Whether Apps, websites or other resources I would appreciate your specific recommendations. Thank you!
