Gathered on these 3 pages are useful sites for teachers, parents and kids. Each site has its own screenshot for easy clicking and simple navigation. Bookmark them! We'd love to hear of any more sites you use regularly. Similarly, if teachers would like them organising differently, we'd love to hear your suggestions.

Our Top 5 Ipad Apps for Education

Here are our Top 5 educational Ipad apps for use with primary school children, in reverse order:

5. Hairy Letters (by Net Educational Systems LTD)
From the very successful Nessy.com company, this app is ideal for teaching letter sounds, and also incorporates a segmenting game where kids can put words together from the spoken letter sounds. Nice graphics and sounds; kids love it!

4. Balloons: Tap & Learn (by Zippz software)
Pre-school game based on a simple idea that it's fun and curiously satisfying to pop balloons with your finger!

TEACHERS and PARENTS. Links to the best educational websites in 1 place!

Any teachers out there with access to a smartboard, or parents who want to help their child, wouldn't it be a good idea to be able to visit 1 website which links to them all?

Now you can atConfident Kids Tuition. We have painstakingly listed all the educational websites that our tutors use for teaching their students, along with a brief summary of what's on there. Put it in yourfavouritesand you'll never have to trawl the web again!

There are brilliant phonics practice sites, sites for times tables, writing and reading, planning resources, lesson ideas, in fact, anything a teacher could wish for!

Phenominal new FREE reading resource!

I just cannot believe how wonderful this new resource is! Absolutely perfect for teachers and parents to read the superb Oxford Reading Tree books for free! Simply choose the reading age of the child, and you are taken to a library of 'ebooks' where you can read with your child or teach from. Brilliant for smartboard demos, or as an alternative to real books. Additionally, there are activities associated with each book. I wonder how long before they start charging for it? But until then, enjoy it and use it for 'nowt'!

New reading resource hits the spot.

The new online reading resource from the same people who brought us Mathletics is brilliant value for money. readingeggs.co.uk is a subscription website which initially assesses children on their reading ability, then places them on a 'track' of learning. The multi-coloured, multi-media website is easy and enjoyable to use, and engages children in phonics practice and many other aspects of reading in a way that encourages even the most reluctant of readers. Surprisingly affordable to boot! (Covers up to about Level 5 then there's readingeggpress for higher levels - rolling out soon.)
