OT Educational App Suggestions?

[mom23]

I was wondering if any of you have suggestions for apps for either nook or android tablets that would strengthen math or reading skills? I'm thinking of my little guy in LHFHG and The Reading Lesson for reading apps. He has a struggle with blending sounds sometimes. He knows what the letters say, but struggles to put them together into words. At other times, I think he's getting the blending thing alright, but it's just very, very, very slow going to get through a page or two. So, I thought maybe he'd enjoy a game that would help these things get better for him...and something that I wouldn't have to sit and listen to him struggle through ...terrible, I know!

For math, we could use something to practice writing/forming the numbers for my K'er or addition/subtraction games for my Beyond'er, or multiplication/division things for my dd in Preparing.

I've been looking around some, but just tought maybe some of you had something that helped your kids and they had fun with that you could recommend. I think it would be a good thing to have the littler ones work on while I'm doing school with someone else.

Thanks!

My K son is currently enjoying LetterSchool, Teach Me Kindergarten, Hungry Fish, Bob books, and Monkey Math. I will have to do a search for one that works on number formation, but I really love Letter School for the letters. It works on visual tracking as well as the actual process of forming the letters, and it is really motivating even for my DS who is not so very interested in handwriting. Teach Me Kindergarten and Bob books both have some phonics and sight word practice. It is nice to have something he can do without my help while I'm working with others!
