My kids have loved ABC Mouse. I did the free trial for a month but may keep going. It has books they can read or that are read aloud, letters to trace, different learning games.

Abc mouse- skip the free month and sign up as they have it like 60% off right now which saves you a ton! If you do the free month they don’t offer the large discount. We got it a week or two ago for my son who was in pre k and we both love it

We love ABC mouse and have used it for my now 3 1/2 year old for the last 1 1/2 years. We have no problems with the app loading on the iPad.

I did the free trial for ABC Mouse and I'm personally not a big fan, but my 2. 5 yo son tries to do it and I think gets annoyed because there are certain things you have to complete before moving on and when he loses interest he doesn't complete them. I found some free apps though that he loves and have helped with the alphabet, counting, spelling, and shapes.

I tried ABC mouse for 2. 5 yo and 4. 5 yo. 2. 5 yo isn't ready for it. Doesn't get how to work the tablet and program yet. 4. 5 yo is able just doesn't want to! Takes bribery. ‍♀️

I love preschool prep DVDs. You can get them on Amazon and they also have some of the videos on you tube.

My kids loved and still love Endless Alphabet. The letters make their own sounds as the kids recognize them and drag them to the right place in a word, but as adorable, wriggle little monster letters.
