These apps are brilliant at making learning fun. Sora is a relatively new discovery for me - it's an online book platform with a wide range of engaging titles that keep the kids entertained while encouraging reading and literature appreciation, which is so important. Quizlet is a fantastic resource too, making learning new concepts and memorisation into a game!

It's wonderful to have so many great resources to make homework time enjoyable - or at least not such a chore!
