Great for building spatial reasoning and logic skills! Sudoku School is the perfect sudoku app for kids and other sudoku beginners. It teaches you to play using 4x4 and 6x6 puzzles that are much simpler than the usual 9x9 sudoku puzzle.

The game tiles have both numbers and colors, so younger players can use the colors for help until they get comfortable using the numbers. Ten puzzle levels cover a huge range of difficulties, from the easiest 4x4 level, which is perfect for younger kids, to the expert 6x6 level which is almost as hard as regular sudoku. This means the game can grow with you for a long time while you progress. Once you have mastered all the levels in this app, you are ready to graduate to regular sudoku!

By providing practice in decoding, blending, and comprehending complete sentences, it prepares young readers to tackle decodable sentences and books, all while boosting fluency and comprehension skills.
