Fantastic!
This is a fantastic app! I use it for both my 4 and 5 year old. My 5 yr old will be starting kindergarten in september so it's great prep! They look forward to earning coins to purchase what they want from whichever store. It makes learning with reward really fun. I had not introduced sight words and this does. It has so much more than the typical pre-school apps that my kids have outgrown so many months ago. The design on this app is so modern, my kids can't get enough of it. It is one that I have downloaded on my own tablet and not theirs so I can work on it WITH them. I wish there was another "kindergarten teach me" app to purchase as after a full month of 1 hour a day, they seem to be mastering it. It is every bit worth $1.99!!!Show lessMaramedina
Awesome
Great application!!!Kawaii Katelyn :)
Love this app, but tweak it
We use this app all the time, and it's been very helpful. I use it to review material over the summer so they don't forget anything. I would recommend this app to any parent and to fellow teachers. However, I wish one feature was different.
When doing addition problems, the child can use pictures of objects to help them figure out the answer to a problem. This is an option which the child can access by touching a box in the corner of the screen. If the child uses this option, then he touches the objects and a voice counts the total number of objects on the screen for them.
I would like to tweak this feature. First, if the child gets an answer wrong the first time, I'd like to suggest that the pictures automatically drop down for the child to use. Second, I don't want a voice to count the number of objects for my daughter. I would like her to try and count them herself and figure out the answer by herself. However, if she got the answer wrong again, then it would be appropriate for the voice to count the objects for her.
This approach would give a scaffolding of help from no assistance to some assistance to a great deal of assistance. Whereas right now, you go from no assistance to a great deal of assistance with nothing in between.
Thank you for considering this request.

We LOVE this APP
Have to give a HUGE shout out to the iPad App "Teach Me" series. We have Teach me Toddler, Teach me Kindergarten and Teach me Grade 1. My kids LOVE them. My daughter likes to earn stickers for correct answers, whereas my son likes to earn coins to buy fish for his aquarium. WE LOVE THIS APP!Fat chook
Great app
My 5 year old daughter will be going into kindergarten in the fall. She is one of those kids that won't let the parents teach her anything. She is loving the games on this app and is learning a lot. The only thing I would change is the rewards. Her sister has teach me grade 2 and loves collecting the shape prizes, it would be nice if the shape prizes were available in the kindergarten app.Show lessNytr
Happy parent
My kids love this game. It has totally improved their reading & math levels in a fun way. They love the rewards too.
Looking forward to Grade 2 and beyond.MamaLoweX2
My fav apps for fun/learning by far!
I now have toddler, K, and 1st grade teachme because they are great! The kids love to play them. They never get board. Plus they are actually learning a lot! I give the toddler version of this credit for teaching my 4 year old all her letter sounds. She just completed toddler, and we bought this kindergarten version (took her a school year to complete, using it 2-3 times a week for apx. 20mins) This is just the level up she needed. It has more than the stickers it has an aquarium! It makes her work a little harder to get coins to buy things. I love how simple it teaches addition and subtraction. I didn't even have to explain how to do it!
With little effort she was reading her first words the very first time she played.
Good job!Show lessDLuce
Great app for teaching...
Great app, keeps my 4yr old engaged and having fun whilst learning a number of different skills. The rewards are a great incentive. Would like the app having a way to sync scores between devices. Eg we have the app installed on two iPads.
One of the best learning apps I have downloaded.Hobit123456
Pleasantly surprised, but it could be improved
I've avoided these apps for a while due to the sight words, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the toddler version allows children to pick letters based on their names and sounds. I like the way that addition and subtraction can be acted out (throwing away subtracted items, etc.).
Overall, it's a good app, but I'd love to see better graphics/more cheerful colors, and definitely a phonics section. Allowing students to read CVC words (at least) in the Kindergarten game would be great, for instance. I would prefer to be able to turn off sections that students aren't ready for, to allow for further customization.Show lessjmmarkov
Fun with great incentive for the kids!
My kindergartener loves this app - for the areas it covers (sight words, spelling, addition and subtraction) it is great! The reward (coins) are earned with correct answers and saved to make "purchases" of stickers to decorate a number of scenes - this is what makes the app great fun for my daughter! She loves collecting enough coins, making the purchase and decorating the scenes. Then you can save the scenes as a photo and they have a permanent reward. I only wish they would add patterning and greater/less than for math skills! It is worth the money.Show lessMichelleOI
