*** 5 Star Certification Educational App Store *** About.com Best Educational App Readers' Choice Awards 2013 *** SmartAppsForKids.com 2012 Readers' Choice *** 2010 Best App Ever Awards TeachMe: Kindergarten is an educational iOS app which teaches six different age appropriate subjects to Kindergarten aged children: sight words, addition, subtraction, spelling and writing letters and numbers. Learning subjects align with common core standards to help your child get prepared for Kindergarten. Parents can review performance history for each subject to check how their child is doing. TeachMe: Kindergarten keeps children engaged with a rather unique reward system where children earn a coin for every three correct answers.

The simple and intuitive user interface is designed to be child friendly, which allows children to play without help from an adult. An animated teacher (Mimi Mouse) gives verbal instructions and feedback to the child which makes learning fun.
