That’s not a question I have the answer to, but even if your child is too young for their own, or heck too young to read and write for that matter, there are iPhone apps that youngster! For $2.99 you can download the ABC Animals application. With that your child can scroll through the letters of the alphabet, chose one, and a “flashcard” will appear with an animal that starts with that letter. The application will let your child know what letter he/she has chosen, as well as the name of the animal. Double tap the card and there is space for your youngster to trace the upper and lowercase letters for some practice with writing. I’m not sure about you, but I don’t think I’d spend big bucks on the iPhone just to let my child who is young enough to still be just learning the alphabet to manhandle it…
