Alphabetizing - A Montessori Approach to Language by Rantek Inc.
https://appsto.re/us/TF7Py.i
Normally $0.99
This is a nice way to interactively work on learning the alphabet besides just picking the correct letter from a field of four letters and getting a smiley face. You start with matching letters on the alphabet and work up to putting the missing letters in the right spot. It's errorless so your student shouldn't get too frustrated. OTs can work on finger isolation, and visual discrimination. What I don't like about it is that the lower case letters are listed first, then capitals. As an OT who supports handwriting, I would prefer the activity to begin with upper case, which matches most handwriting curriculums. However, it might be some montessori thing that I'm not aware of ;)

Fraction Games For Kids - Learn Fraction Basics by Atikur Rahmanhttps://appsto.re/us/E4_o6.i
Normally $0.99
This app is easy to use and no-nonsense. It would be good for practicing fraction concepts like measurement, comparing fractions, equivalent fractions, etc. It provides simple feedback and is easy to use. The downside of the app is you can't individually select fraction sets, difficulty, there is no tutorials to help students if they get the problem wrong and it does not take data.

Maze-A-Maze (Ad-Free Version) by JSplash Apps
https://appsto.re/us/2TU-2.i
Normally $1.99
This app works on visual perceptual skills and upper body stamina and is still age appropriate! You can roll the marble around the maze to pick up stars. The first two levels are pretty easy and then it gets more difficult. If rolling marbles by moving around the iPad is too difficult it also has a joystick mode that you can try. Also would be good for younger students and part of a OT motor group.

Easy and excellent, what more can you ask for?!
