TeachMe: 1st Grade app review

Reviews

TeachMe: 1st Grade

Price: $1.99

TeachMe: 1st Grade by 24x7digital LLC is a fantastic education app for your first grader.

This app uses TeachTech to read your kid’s written spelling and math answers.

This is the third installment of the TeachMe apps. It’s meant to teach four subjects to kids in the first grade: spelling, addition, subtraction, and sight words.  The character recognition engine used (TeachTech) helps reinforce your child’s writing skills while teaching spelling and math.

Like other installments, this one uses coin rewards to keep kids motivated and engaged. Once coins are earned, they can move around TeachTown to spend their coins. They can visit their virtual aquarium, decorate different scenes at the art store, and collect stretchable shapes at the Shape Store.

The user interface is designed to be child-friendly, which means your child can play without your help. The fun teacher, Mimi Mouse, gives the player verbal instructions and feedback. Screens are colorful, rotate among four different subjects, and are fun.

The achievements screen encourages and motivates kids. Parents can see this screen to check in on their kid’s progress, choose specific questions, and set difficulty levels.

Features of the app include seven different sticker reward scenes, more than 170 different stickers, virtual aquarium, and the ability to save learning information for up to four kids. You can track up to 40 students without in-app purchases.

TeachMe: 1st Grade was updated to Version 3.2 on July 11, 2012. The update added more parental controls, made various bug fixes and enhancements, and added the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. The current version has 21 customer ratings with an average of four out of five stars. Feedback comments are all positive.

I haven’t yet had my daughter play with this app because she’s only four, but it looks like it’s as well done as the first two in the series. I look forward to when she’ll be able to use it and learn.

For: iPhone, iPod touch, iPad with iOS 3.0 or later
