*** 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.

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.
