TeachMe: 3rd Grade is the fifth installment in the popular TeachMe series of educational apps for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. TeachMe: 3rd Grade teaches six age-appropriate subjects to third grade children: spelling, sight words, multiplication, division, fast multiplication, and fast division. TeachMe: 3rd Grade's unique TeachTech character recognition engine interprets a child's written answers, helping to reinforce writing skills while teaching math and spelling. TeachMe: 3rd 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 build their dream home in the TeachTown Neighborhood, make fun photos at the Photobooth, 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, allowing children to play without help from an adult. Mimi Mouse, the animated teacher, gives verbal instructions and feedback to encourage the child to learn and succeed! In addition, the learning screens are colorful, fun and rotate between six different subjects so children don't get bored. TeachMe: 3rd Grade is the only educational app which reads your child's writing using TeachTech, 24x7digital's writing recognition engine. Children write their answers for math and spelling questions and TeachMe: 3rd Grade reads them using TeachTech. If your child needs help, TeachMe: 3rd grade will show them how to write the correct answer including the proper stroke order. Each child has an achievements screen which motivates and encourages learning by showing progress and levels for each topic. Parents can use this screen to quickly see progress of their child. Parents can select which subjects they want, set different difficulty levels, and even choose specific questions. Parents can also review performance history for each subject to check how their child is doing.

Congratulations! You're about to give your kids everything they need to master 3rd grade spelling skills, all on their own. By combing the world's first AI-teachers, short lessons, and adaptive practice, children can now catch up and get ahead, all on their own. Start a 7 day free trial to see first hand how much your kids can learn, risk free. We recommend asking your children to complete 5 lessons a day. A little practice every day is the best. Feel free to pursue your passions and dreams (or nap) while students learn.  Our spelling-bee-style adaptive practice has a "secret sauce" learning algorithm, based on the 'spaced repetition learning theory'. It helps knowledge truly stick. Why learn spelling? Developing spelling skills is a highly effective way of improving a child's reading and writing abilities. Bonus: When you start a membership for this app, you unlock all 10+ apps by Class Ace covering 2,500+ skills, and 20+ innovative AI tools. There's no better investment. Features: • 70+ simple read-assist lessons • Effective, adaptive practice. Each student sees a different set of questions that get harder over time. When they make mistakes, the questions change in real-time to maximize learning and minimize frustration, following the ‘spaced repetition’ learning theory. • Text to speech. Tap on any word to have it read out loud. • Auto-play. Sit back and enjoy the whole lesson read to you. • Separate student profiles. • Teacher View: Look at charts of useful metrics. See where students are struggling, and jump in to help. • Gamification. Incredible landscapes, progress bars, and uplifting interfaces motivate students to do their best. Watch your child's grades improve with just a few minutes of regular practice. Learn Spelling was developed by a team of veteran teachers, technologists, and student testers. The app is designed by an ex-Google Product Manager to maximize learning and retention. ======= Learn Spelling is a member of the Class Ace family of apps.

Yet over 50% of 4th graders weren't proficient in 4th grade common core standards in the US in 2017. Our own kids were struggling to keep up. We built Learn Spelling for them, and now they are excelling on their own. Your kids can too. ======= Help & Support Problems, questions, or want to get in touch?
