- Introducing our new Explorer mini-game! Have your students go on a real-world learning adventure as they are tasked to use the iPad's camera to find real-world objects that begin with the target letter. Challenge them to find and scan the apple in the fruitbowl for the letter 'A', or the tree outside in the playground for the letter 'T'; the whole alphabet is waiting to be found! As the teacher the choice is yours to decide what objects they must find and scan. Combine physical activity and adventure for effective context-based learning! ` - Our Reports are better than ever, making it easier to track the progress of your children's learning and progress with beautiful line and bar charts. Stats can be collected over any length of time period, making it a fantastic tool for teachers and parents alike to track progress perhaps over an entire school year or more. We have made improvements to how the statistics are gathered in the background, in preparation for an upcoming patch that will allow you to automatically generate progress or end-of-term reports that you can save to your iPad, or export via email (coming soon!). - Various bug fixes and performance improvements. - Thank you for the amazing feedback we have received thus far. We are always listening, and are acting upon all the great ideas we hear from teachers and parents.

- View stored student data in our new Reports view! You can now dive deeper into your collated student data than ever before, with beautifully displayed and detailed bar and line charts! Display the data of individual children or of the whole class, and filter by numerous variables such as Accuracy, Duration and Re-ask Count (how many times did the child/children ask to hear the prompt again), either on a per-letter or a per-session basis. This level of detail and overview will make it much easier to track the progress of your students or children, highlighting their competency with each letter of the alphabet. Teachers will enjoy the class snapshot, allowing them to track their class's progress over time and assist in their planning of class material and end of term reports, or to identify and guide their teaching on an individual student basis. And parents can play along at home with their children too for extra practice while playing a fun and active role in their children's learning, tracking their progress across months or even years. - Added a small reminder behind the Teacher section that we are welcome to hear of your rating and feedback about A to Z Safari in the AppStore. This is entirely optional however, and can be dismissed or ignored if desired. We appreciate your continued support! - Numerous bug fixes and optimizations

In an upcoming soon to be released version we will also introduce the ability to group students by class or teacher, sort students, and archive past students and their data. Feedback from teachers and parents is most welcome, this app really is for YOU. - Added more ways for you to export and share the Student Data reports, and Alphabet Charts, including via AirDrop, messages, or even saving to your photo album. - Made many optimization improvements, allowing for faster loading of images and sounds, and general smoothness across the entire app. In addition were general bug fixes. We thank you all for your feedback thus far, and we are actively taking it into account in our future releases of the app. Upcoming releases hope to expand on the new Reports view, allowing teachers to generate and then share reports on individual students and of their entire class. We also are currently developing the ability to Sync data between your devices, making it much easier to manage an entire class, so watch this space!

- Introducing the new Gallery game! This game is simply about exploring and playing with the Alphabet. Swipe along to view each letter of the alphabet as represented by an animal, or in the shape of a letter.
