TeachMe: 1st Grade

It stops working the hand writing part

My son is very good at maths. He counts very fast but this app requires to write the answer and letters must be in perfect shape.He is frustrated to use this app. Not a good thinking from app designers. For math answer should be selectable.

This app has lots of great stuff for your kids. Great learning across early math and English topics. One suggestion would be to optionally disable some of the audio prompts as they can get annoying and time consuming for the child. The sound you get a coin would be an example of this.

I really like this app for my son in Grade 1. It is a complete package with practice in reading, spelling and math. They give you the option of using either a keyboard (abc order not QWERTY) or your finger to write the answer. This is great, although your child has to have fairly good printing in order for them not to get frustrated. The rewards are also fun and the fish tank is always a hit.

This is a great game but the way it shows a wrong answer with the red "X" and negative sound effect needs to be changed. It's too aggressive for small children and makes them feel bad. Getting a wrong answer isn't as bad as not trying and the negative result makes them afraid and anxious to even try. A simple "uh oh, try again" (with a sad emoticon) or something friendly like that would be much more effective and less destructive method of getting the message across, and would reinforce the need to keep trying. Better yet, providing the ability to modify the sound to one of a preset bunch or even providing a custom sound that the child responds well too would be ideal. Please do so, my kids have learned a lot from this set of games but are getting very close to giving up on them because of this problem.

I love this app! We have many apps for our kids .. And have "folders" of educational ones and this is by far the best. My girls are 4 1/2 and 7 and I found this level works well for both (albeit a tad challenging for the younger one). My younger one can already sound out simple words - if ur child is not quite at that stage, I would suggest the Kinder level instead. The girls are very motivated by the coin system and they are captivated by the game for ages!

I've downloaded dozens of learning games for my kids and the Teach Me group outshines all of them. My kids started playing them before they could even speak, and now at 4 and 5 years old they are miles ahead of any of their classmates. They can both read, spell and do math that other kids years ahead of them can't do. The careful, and gradual steps it takes to teach difficult concepts are genius and they have tons of fun doing it. Even the coin reward system helps to teach them the value of saving money. Fantastic learning tool. If I had one criticism though, I would suggest altering the way the programs let the kids know they've given a wrong answer. The negative sound effect and red X have become something they both dread, to the point that it turns them off the game if they get one. My eldest refuses to even be in the room when my youngest plays for fear he'll hear the sound. I think a better way would be a voice that just says "try again" or an option to turn the sound off, or provide your own sounds, or something along those lines.

All 3-apps, Toddler, kindergarten, and grade-1 Have been Absolutely wonderful for both my 3 & 5 year olds. It's a truly excellent blend of all the basics and for the price it should be showcased for all parents to see. Simply the best learning app I have found in the past couple years.

My son adores this! His progress is astounding!

My six year old daughter loves it! Great content, she loves earning coins to buy rewards. Best 99cents spent.
