Pater Familias … because I'm your FATHER!

Stealthy last-minute school prep on Dad's phone or, if you caved in to pleading, the kid's own iDevice. This app entertains like any old memory game where you match things hiding behind squares, which seven-year-old Girl Child happens to love. But the things are words your kid ought to know, so it drills in fast, automatic recognition. All about better reading, Dad. You said you'd keep up with this stuff all summer, am I right? Did you? Here's a way to repent, at least a little. Grade appropriate versions for preschool through fourth. One of many educational apps developed by Ratcat Software. $2 and worth it from App Store on your phone or through iTunes.
