    Hi,
    I have a child (with Dyslexia) just finishing first class. I'd love some spelling Apps for over the summer, if anyone has come across any good ones?

    More importantly, as we don't do religion, he is going to have a LOT of free time next year, so I'd dearly love some online recommendations / courses that people have come across - something progressive / ongoing that he could do throughout the year. He has the option of bringing in an iPad to school with him.

    Thanks!

    For a child with dyslexia, I'd focus more on reading than spelling to be honest.
    These lists have been compiled by the Clare Education Centre so would be worth a look anyhow

    Thank you - some of these look great! I've been concentrating all year on his reading and he seems to be keeping up but he's very weak when it comes to spelling. With some of these Apps you recommended I'd say he'll gladly do both:) Cheers.
