Playground 3: ABC Edition – Review

 

 

Bottom Line: A fun little alphabet learning app for kids ages 3-6. Features lots of opportunities to practice recognizing and writing letters. Doesn’t break any new ground, but does feature a yeti. Free lite version available.

Oh my SQUID, this is the first time EVER that LetterSchool has gone from $2.99 to FREE so don't miss it.

We rated this app very highly when we reviewed it and I have to confess it is my personal favourite letter writing app.

TeachMe: 3rd Grade - Review

 

 

Bottom Line: A bit of a disappointment as the tried and true formula of answering problems and earning coins doesn't appeal as much to older students and the content is much too rudimentary and doesn't match the skill expectation and independence for this age group.

Featured App - TeachMe: 3rd Grade!

We're no strangers to the TeachMe series of apps from 24x7 Digital. All of their previous apps have featured on our Top Lists. And the apps have garnered the highest 5 star rating from us when reviewed. So I'm not surprised in the least that their newest app, TeachMe 3rd Grade is of the same stellar quality.

TeachMe 3rd grade uses TeachTech character recognition to interpret the child's written answers, helping to reinforce writing skills while teaching math and spelling.

With six age appropriate subjects and a unique reward system, this app is top of the class.

 

 

Preschool Fun: Review

 

 

Bottom line: cute, fun early learning app with lots to do in one place. Thanks to clear directions and an easy-to-use interface, little kids can feel "big" when they use the app with zero help from parents. Substantial content is available for FREE.

Crabby Writer: Phonics Read & Write

 

 

Bottom Line: Cute graphics with a good mix of early literacy skills and some fun in the sun but may not pose much of a challenge for its target audience of pre-readers and writers. CCSS aligned.

The Tale of the Missing Acorns: Review

 

 

Bottom Line: A novel approach to the old whodunit mystery. Kids read a story and use their wits to follow interactive clues and discover who took Mother Squirrel's acorns.
