*** WINNER for Best Elementary Student App at BestAppEver.com *** Readers' Choice Top 10 at SmartAppsForKids.com TeachMe: 1st Grade is the third installment in the popular TeachMe series of educational apps. TeachMe: 1st Grade teaches four age-appropriate subjects to first grade children: sight words, addition, subtraction and spelling. Learning subjects align with common core standards to help your child get prepared for 1st Grade. Parents can review performance history for each subject to check how their child is doing. TeachMe: 1st Grade keeps children engaged with a unique reward system where children earn coins by playing learning games at the school. They can move around the rest of TeachTown to spend their coins on fun rewards. Children can collect stretchable shapes at the Shape Store, visit their virtual aquarium at the Fish Store, and decorate different scenes at the art store. 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 encourage the child to learn and succeed! In addition, the learning screens are colorful, fun and rotate between four different subjects so children don't get bored. Children write their answers for math and spelling questions and TeachMe: 1st Grade reads them. If your child needs help, TeachMe: 1st grade will show them how to write the correct answer including the proper stroke order. TeachMe also includes a virtual keyboard input option.

TeachMe's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and review sentiment (80% vs 61%). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

First Grade Learning Games holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: First Grade Learning Games has 51K ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of TeachMe's written reviews are positive against 61% of First Grade Learning Games's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TeachMe ships an update every 3 months, First Grade Learning Games monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
