Reading Bear: Free Online Reading Site

Reading Bear is a new online reading site that provides children and families with multimedia phonics and vocabulary presentations (videos, PowerPoint presentations and ebooks) as they develop reading skills and explore print and text.

Though it uses a font that children *might* read in various text sources, my only criticism thus far is that as you try the site out for the first time, letters such as "g" and "a" don't appear as children will write them, but never fear, the font can be changed to something more compatible, like Comic Sans if you click on the settings tab.  Teachers and families will likely want to fiddle with the settings before having their students use the site.

What other online reading resources do you recommend for your students?

HELP: iPad and iPhone Users...

...what MATH apps have you downloaded, use, and ARE HAPPY WITH for your school-aged child's use?  Moms?  Dads?  Teachers?

I'm looking for recommendations for ECE-2nd grade.

Thank you thank you!

(Yep, I get to test-drive an iPad for work and would like to transfer valuable search time over to trying-it-out time for highly recommended apps!)
