We found reading eggs a great tool for my 2nd child, though we didn't utilise the spelling aspect enough. I have a membership for my 3rd but I find we don't use it much at all as it's unusable on the iPad and it just doesn't work well for us having DD tell me what to do with the mouse. This is the price of the iPad - she's really very skilled at what she can do with the iPad but her mouse skills are way behind my other kids at 2.5yrs, despite the fact that she is more advanced in most other ways...
