Phonics and Reading with McGuffey for iPad

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

This program takes the McGuffey method of reading and puts it in a great little app.  If you are not familiar with it I recommend you check out the McGuffy Eclectic Primer.   McGuffy was a famous teacher that designed one of the best learning methods in history.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McGuffey_Readers

In this app you can add 10 different users and it keeps all the results separated.  Simply start at the beginning or skip ahead to your child's level.  This is a great early phonics program that every homeschool should use in my opinion.  There is 52 lessons that engage any age to the amazing fun of learning.  The interface is very easy to use and keeps children attention.

I feel this product is one of the best I have tried for my son.  He still has problems once in a  while and needs extra help.  He easily breezes through the lessons and has fun while he is doing it. This is now apart of our daily lesson plans and am really happy with his results.
