TeachMe: Reception

So I’m a tight-wad and never pay for apps, but my mom gave me an Apple gift card for the app store and I tried this. <br/><br/>I love it so much I may buy it for my husband’s tablet for my child to use as well. It teaches math and reading as well as writing. Her writing has improved greatly, and she went from not counting at all to being a math super star within days. She loves the sticker store and it has also helped teach her about saving money and patience- since some items you have to save up for (not real money). A great app that teaches and works

I am a SpEd resource teacher and my students truly love this app. One of my Kindergarten boys prefers it to any game he could choose on the tablet. On top of purchasing it for my own class, it is the only app I have gifted to others multiple times. <br/><br/>This app teaches the correct way to form letters. (Kindergarten level) This helps to prevent the common problem with reversals. When kids form their b and d correctly they don't have all the issues with confusing those two letters. It may seem petty to force students to form letters a certain way but there is actually a lot of science behind it.<br/><br/>Another great feature is the fact that you can customize it. Almost all settings can be adapted for each individual child. Plus each grade level allows you to enter up to 40 separate students. Each student can have their individual settings customized. So if I feel it would be best for my student to enter answers with a keyboard instead of writing, I can set it up that way. <br/><br/>I decide how many correct answers each student needs to have to earn a reward and how many times they must answer correctly to be considered mastery. The app collects ongoing data on each student that I can check any time.<br/><br/>There are separate topics for Addition, Subtraction, Spelling, and Sight Words for the 1st-grade level but you can turn off any section in order to have your student focus on the areas you want them to focus on.<br/><br/>Second-grade has Spelling, Sight Words, Fast Addition, Fast Subtraction, Long Addition, and Long Subtraction. Again you can customize and remove areas you don't want the student to spend time on.<br/><br/>Third-grade has Multiplication, Division, Fast Multiplication, Fast Division, Spelling, and Sight Words.<br/><br/>Kindergarten has Addition, Subtraction, Spelling, Sight Words and Letter and Number Writing.<br/><br/>Lastly , Pre-School has Numbers, Letters, Shapes, Colors, ABC Phonics, and Counting.<br/><br/>In every grade level you can choose to leave all topics on or turn some off. As students move up in levels , support is slowly decreased and tasks become more difficult. Students are rewarded using a 'token economy system' where they earn virtual coins that they exchange for virtual fish which they can feed. My students are very motivated by their virtual fish aquarium and love feeding their virtual pets!<br/><br/>In addition to all of this, if you purchase the package with all grades you also get the math pack which you can customize for each studentto focus on the basic math skills they need to practice.<br/><br/>This is truly my all-time favorite educational app and I highly recommend it!

I thought this was a one time purchase app, yet I was charged 2.99 today. I have tried to cancel through the App Store, request cancellation and a refund, and tried through the app with no success?! How do I cancel?!

Everytime my son picks up his finger or goes another way it makes him start over. Its not fun he is stuck on the same letter forever. Its absolutely ridiculous!!! Would like a refund

This is by far the best app I have found in this category. It really assists my daughter learn all the necessary skills to succeed in kindergarden while making it fun. I like the controls, the reports, and the settings I can use to add challenge appropriately. I only wished there was a Spanish version!! That would the cherry on top for us, since our daughter attends a dual immersion English/Spanish elementary school in our area and the Spanish version would help her tremendously! Thank you again for such a great product, and please, pretty please, consider a Spanish version!!

I cannot say enough good things about this app. I work with special needs children and it is the best app to explain math concepts. Plus I can customize it for each of them to whatever level they are at. Even better, the rewards, teach them even more math. Sneaky, sneaky, I love it! That’s really helpful to give them a basic understanding of how money works in the real world, something that all kids show learn as early as possible.

The &quot;TeachMe&quot; applications are awesome. Nice graphics, cool reward system that the kids love. I like the cute &quot;mouse&quot; voice as well.

My little sister really loves the British Voice on the preschool one if it was possible to get that on the other ones that would just make her day great app otherwise ❤️👌🏻
