Children, ages 6 to 8, will explore a farm as they have fun playing and learning. All of our games are specially created to help children practice the cognitive abilities important in school and life. The games involve choosing the correct word to complete each sentence. They automatically increment to the next sentence group after the student has mastered the current group twice. The games automatically adjust to allow children to learn at a level of difficulty personalized for them. As they succeed, new challenges at harder levels will be presented. While a child's difficulty level is automatically adjusted based on his or her performance, it can be easily modified by parents or teachers when necessary. Distraction stimuli can also be added to reinforce increased focus and the ability to stay on task. This reading comprehension game becomes progressively more challenging as players succeed and improve. Each game level must be completed for grades to be saved. A training session is completed only when the program is stopped and then removed from memory. If the program is left open in the background and it is selected, then the last session started will be continued. The app will start off with a 60 minute trial version. You can modify the options and run the games during this trial period. Once the trial has ended, you will need to make a one-time in-app purchase to unlock the games for unlimited use.

No clutter, weird cartoons, or overstimulation. Only Colors. This app recites the basic colors to you aloud with just a tap. Perfect for little ones that are interested in holding your phone. Add a personal touch by recording your own voice saying the colors (actually do this). Your child will learn with real examples. The touch controls are adapted to suit toddlers that are just getting the hang of these devices. Subtle vibrations confirm actions to demonstrate cause and effect. Engage the padlock, along with Guided Access (every parent should discover this on iOS), to prevent them from fiddling with the settings.
