I received a couple of requests from some readers of Educational Technology and Mobile Learning asking for a curated list of iPad apps to teach kids and toddlers alphabets. I checked my archive to see If I had any list that needs updating and was surprised to find none. I can't believe I never compiled a list on alphabet learning though I know about many good iPad apps for this purpose. Anyway, I went along and created the selection below. I included only what I personally think are the best apps available out there. These apps provide kids with several games, exercises and activities to help them learn alphabets.
