Time spent in front of screens is pretty limited at our house on weekdays, but if daily reading and other homework is completed, my kiddos will enjoy some iPadtime or they can borrow my phone while we’re waiting at ballet or baseball practice.

Apps can be valuable educational tools and a fun way to work on those weekly spelling lists during the elementary years. We’ve identified the following spelling apps as some of the best out there to help your kiddos become expert spelling bees in no time!

I’ve even provided some suggestions for teens looking to brush up before the SAT or adults looking to improve their spelling mojo!

    I love this idea! If the students learned reading using linguistic or highly structured programs, teaching spelling would be much more successful.

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
