Educational Apps for Elementary Kids

[Landshark]

I've done some searching in the forum and on the net, but wanted to see what other iPad owners with elementary kids would suggest for educational apps for kids. I have a 3rd and 4th grader.

So far, based on my searches, I've found the following:
Mathboard
K12 Timed Reading Practice
Multiplication and Division Flash Action
Word Search for iPad—Young Reader’s Edition
Match-Up Math
Grammar Prep - Subjects and Verbs

Let me know your suggestions or thoughts on the above.

Thanks!

Some research and references tools might be good. I'll let you decide if they are too much for 3rd and 4th graders.

USA Manual
Presidents (because it looks better than the USA manual)
The Elements
iScience
Star Walk
Wikipanion
Wolfram Alpha

Wikipanion and Wolfram Alpha might require parental oversight, depending on the kids and parents I suppose.

And they might interesting.

I have a review site for iPad picture book apps: Digital Storytime - iPad Childrens Book Reviews - iPhone Childrens Book Reviews

I'm a mom & educator myself and married to a developer. We are members of MomsWithApps and they have a great free app that has lots of educational apps divided by subject matter that is a nice companion to the app store. You can find a link for it at the bottom of our deal page.

I handpick a half dozen free educational apps for kids up to age 10: Digital Storytime Daily Deal

There is a really cute book that's free this week, too - your kid's will probably like this: iPhone/iPad Book App Review Teddy's Night

Hope this is helpful!

Another game for spelling and reading - learning German

Hi,
ABC Land German is an app to learn German for kids between 3 and 8 years. It can be downloaded for the iphone, the ipad and played on a web browser as well.
Just look it up on itunes or the app store.

Have any of you subscribed to appshopper? They have a wishlist like iTunes but they update you on price drops and updates. They even have a graph so you can see likelihood if a price drop if you want to check out an app but are weary. (NOT A REP just an iOS lover)

Science apps for kids, I would encourage just in general. Kids who understand science are at a huge advantage to those who do not, and it just might nudge them into something like medicine or research if they find that they have a natural interest. Actually that Elements app I would highly recommend, although it doesn't actually teach chemistry, just present the table in a very pretty way.

Thanks for the free apps. Man what deal.
