It’s great for emerging readers. I managed to snag it when it was free and it’s awesome. I would pay for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tablet-games-for-a-reluctant-reader#post-2826432 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 12:15:14 +0000 lindseykaye 2826432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's Endless Reader which is similar to Endless Alphabet but geared towards whole sight words. But, if he's over that one it might be hit or miss how much it will keep his attention.<br /> Following to get ideas for my own 5-yr old who is also pretty close to reading but whose motivation wavers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tablet-games-for-a-reluctant-reader#post-2826378 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 10:01:35 +0000 Charm54 2826378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Osmo .... it's a kit that you buy to attach to your ipad, and it is amazing for building letter/sound relationship, CVC words, etc. It also comes with numbers, tangrams, artwork kits...there's so much you can do with it. I also like that it's kinesthetic and interactive so not as passive as a regular app. I use them in my reading interventions at school and also at home with my daughters. </p> <p><a href="https://www.playosmo.com/en/" rel="nofollow">https://www.playosmo.com/en/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tablet-games-for-a-reluctant-reader#post-2826351 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 08:38:58 +0000 Hypatia 2826351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Teach Your Monster to Read is by far the best I've seen. It's not cheap, but it's worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tablet-games-for-a-reluctant-reader#post-2826333 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 08:11:38 +0000 kce56 2826333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looking for any and all suggestions for tablet games (iPad or Amazon Fire) for a 5 year old who is thisclose to reading. I’m usually pretty limiting with the screen time but if there are a few games that will encourage his reading I’m all for it! We’ve done Endless Alphabet but I think he’s over it. Thanks! </p>
