    I’d like to encourage the original author to check these apps and revise the prices as necessary. The Dyslexia Quest app, for example, is $16.99 now, not $4.99. Many of the others have changed prices as well. I would also like to believe that there are other great options out there now as well.

      You are right, I’m afraid this post is quite dated. We will work on getting it updated soon. Thank you for the reminder.

    Also Snaptype. You can snap a photo of a worksheet, and type in the answers, rather than writing them.

    These all look great, but my niece has been using CogniFit and we’re really seeing results. It is a paid subscription, but I know they gave her a free trial for a month, I think? My sister said it’s been super helpful!

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.
