TeachMe: Preschool / Toddler

Stars

I got this app when I was 3 or 4 years old and it probably has changed my perspective on the world

Now that I’m allowing my child to have more screen time, I’m realizing that I can’t provide support to her with this app because there are no captions for instructions. I have to ask her what is being said.

Love this app but the sound stopped working on all the levels I have downloaded. So can’t use it.

Cuts out the fluff and the time consuming stuff other apps have, but still manages to be fun! I recommend 10-20 minutes a day. My 3 year old is already half way through the kindergarten one now!! Thank you!! He loves it and asks to play it, I never have to force him or my other students to play it.

I have tried all of the programs and apps out there (Starfall, SplashMath, the “Endless” series, ABC Mouse, etc...). Hands down, these apps surpass them all. This series is a hidden gem. It works for both of my children, who both possess very different learning styles. The intuitive repetition processes involved on these apps serve as a perfect source of non-monotonous drill activities. Kids answer drill-like questions in a friendly, non-flashy or distracting virtual environment in these apps. When they reach a certain goal, (set by the adult) the user is given a choice to earn stickers (in the Pre-K app) or coins (found in the apps for older kiddos) that can be used to purchase items from the virtual store. So basically, this is an incentive-based app. There are NO annoying adds and the included material is safe. I’ve never experienced one single problem with any of these apps in the 3+ years I’ve had them for the kids. I love that I can either incorporate the material they’ve mastered in with new/challenging stuff, or I can optionally remove material they solidly comprehend (so they can solely focus on novel material). I can also raise the threshold by which they earn their virtual incentives, which is so cool. To give you an idea about the app’s effectiveness, I’ll give you two real examples: My son just finished 1st grade on May 25th. He started up with the “Teach Me Mathematics” app in this series on June 1st to supplement with summer math. Today is June 13th, and he’s solidly mastered all of the addition facts from 0+0 to 6+12...all of them... in less than two weeks...and the kiddo has learning differences. My daughter is going into Kindergarten in the fall, and she is learning uppercase and lowercase letter names, letter phonemics (sounds), one-to-one counting, number labeling from 0-20, shapes, and colors. She has mastered shapes, colors, counting, and almost all of her number recognition from the initial app in the series: “Teach Me Pre-K”. She, too, has learning differences, and we started back with the app two weeks ago. Knowing what I know about the efficacy of these educational apps, I’d likely pay 4x the amount for this wonderfully executed series. Big thanks to the developers, 24x7digital LLC...you guys have made a big difference in my kids’ lives! 🙌🏽😄💓 And I never write reviews..but other folks just need to know how great these apps truly are!

The graphics are awful. You can't even turn the tablet to change the orientation; it's stuck in portrait mode. Does not reinforce learning or teach in an engaging way. It is basically an outdated way of checking what your child already knows or trying to teach with "drill and kill" by telling them they're getting it wrong. Do not waste your child's valuable screen time on this app. Just pick up a set of cheap flashcards at the store; they'll be better off.

My daughter is 3 turning 4 in march 2018. I wanted to use technology to our advantage and I think this is the app. It forces her to listen to the instructions...she will click the teacher a couple of times to make sure she got the instructions which I think is so cool. And it covers all areas/counting, abcs, shapes, and sounding out letters. I know after seeing her interact with this app that her struggle is in phonics so I will be investing in phonics for her.

I love these apps! I used the kindergarten one when my daughter was little and now I'm using this app for my son in preschool. Back in November he only knew half his shapes and didn't know any written numbers. Now he knows them up to ten and some even to 20! We do it every night when sissy does her homework. It's helped a lot!! They love the rewards. I just wish he could earn coins like the apps for older kids to buy things, not just stickers.

Boring for a toddler. App uses a generic robot voice. I would recommend endless abc and friend shapes instead.
