The school year pretty much starts the same way each year: new teacher, new classroom, review of what the kids learned last year and how to organize for this year.

Some kids have tutoring over the summer to work on subjects that need extra support, some jump ahead to prepare for the next school year; some kids don’t like to crack a book focusing instead on the great summer weather and outdoor activities. We sit somewhere in the middle and to get the kids back into the head space for school I like to spend the last week of summer with a tune-up using educational apps.

The links below will take you to my collection of Top Apps – we use apps to brush up on last year’s curriculum and also to give a warm up of what’s to come.  The apps are broken into key areas of learning and offer a fun way to get back into the groove.

Math
Reading
Spelling
Productivity
Geography
Science

Enjoy!
