TD Takeaway of the Day: An App a Day, Keeps Learning OK!

We all know that keeping our kids focused on some sort of learning activity is the way to go over the summer. The amount of knowledge lost over the 3 months is amazing if we don't keep their brains tuned and trained in some sort of way!

If your schedule is as nuts as our family's is during the summer, finding the time to make sure math is focused on (or science, reading, maybe a foreign language), well, it's almost next to impossible some days. So, I turned to my iPhone. Now we have AWESOME math apps to keep with us and keep my son's brain in full gear no matter where we are or how much - or how little - time we may have. Whether it's addition, subtraction, multiplication, time or money skills...the iPhone has it covered for us! He even uses the eReader to read new books when we forget our library books at home and we're stuck in the car, the ice rink, the grocery store - you name it!

But shhhh... he feels like it's a video game. So, the amount of time he "plays" on the apps is awesome. It's learning and he doesn't even realize it!
