TeachMe: Kindergarten

Get it here.
Cost: $1.99

UDL Guideline 7.2-  Optimize relevance, value, and authenticity
TeachMe Kindergarten allows preschool learners to be engaged in active participation, exploration, and experimentation of basic math, reading, and spelling concepts. Select content (sight words, addition, subtraction, and spelling, and writing and reading numbers) has three different difficulty levels. The main character, a mouse, navigates the game with the learner and gives hints, corrective feedback, and encouragement. 


General Critique
Teachers can select which subjects they want, set different difficulty levels, and even choose specific questions. They can review performance history for each subject to check how their students are doing. This app keeps children engaged with a unique reward system where children earn a coin for every three correct answers. Coins can then be used to purchase stickers to place in fun sticker scenes, or to buy fish for the virtual aquarium. The activities are fun, engaging, and educational.
