TeachMe: 1st Grade App Reviews

I love this app! My 4 going on 5 year old daughter is currently using it. I have worked a lot with her on reading and sounding out words but not so much with adding, subtracting and writing. We started with teach me toddler and teach me kindergarten. She has gone through those and mastered the info and now is at the 1st grade level. When we first started using it the writing portion was a little difficult for her but with time and practice she has gotten the hang of it and enjoys writing outside of the app with great improvement!

We love all the Teach Me apps. My 6 year old daughter just finished Teach Me 1st Grade and it was a great way for her to review math, spelling, and sight words. Weve just downloaded 2nd Grade and Im sure my daughter is going to be so excited to use it. My 3 year old son worked through Teach Me Toddler and also loves Teach Me Kindergarten even though he cant do the sight words section on that one yet. Cant say enough good about this app.

I love this program as a whole, personally I think the rewards could be a little cooler but when you get down to it this app is about learning not the rewards. One critique I do have is that when you have to spell a word, I think it should have underlines or something to signify how many letters are in that word (2, 3, or 4). This is especially annoying to me when a word like ball comes up to spell. My daughter sounds out the word and puts b, a, and l, but she doesnt realize the word contains 2 Ls and its unfortunate to see her get an answer like that wrong when she did so well to sound out the word and get the correct letters. Other than those minor details, this is a great app. Well worth the small price, and overall excellent for learning and/or review.

The app is pretty limited for words, and seems to repeat the same ones such as cat, dog, bus, ball over and over even if they get it right. Also, the math sections moves too quickly on from problems with picture and counting help, to no pictures at all, without a middle transition, which really confused my kid. The premise is great, but there could be a few tweaks which would make this app from OK to great.

This app has some solid lessons, and a good incentive program that rewards kids for completing them, but the mouse-teacher character is a little, um, school-marmish. Once the kid has been told that "extra strokes" in her answer make it harder to read, the mouse needs to either to zip it, or give us a way to cut her off and continue with game play or corrections.

My students and my own child all benefit from this app and the other TeachMe apps. They love to earn the coins and create their own sticker collection.

Terrible. The technology doesnt work and is discouraging since it skips around and mid-reads the childs attempts. Counter-productive if you are trying to encourage learning. Deleting it now.

This is amazing for kids with autism

This entire series has been great for my daughter she will now be starting 3rd grade and I cant believe how much this helps her.

This is the best educational app by far that I have found by far! We have done hooked on phonics, abc mouse and many others and this far surpasses them all! Worth every penny, very happy!

My 6 year old played this in school and asked me to download it at home. He enjoys the game (he even chose to play it over star wars!) but some letters are hard for the game to recognize. The M is pretty tricky. overall I like the option to write the letters. He still writes some of backwards and this has really helped since the game does not recognize backwards letters.

Ive been trying to reset my pass code for this app for months and have gotten no response from the support team.

I teach 1st grade and wanted to use the game at center time. The app does not allow you to choose a subject. Reading, math, and spelling are all combined into one lesson.
