Los Angeles, California – 24x7digital LLC has released TeachMe: Kindergarten 4.0, an update to their popular children’s learning series for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. TeachMe: Kindergarten is an educational app which teaches age-appropriate topics to kindergartners: sight words, spelling, addition, subtraction, and now writing skills for letters and numbers. The writing module will teach children proper stroke order and develop fine motor skills for young learners.
TeachMe: Kindergarten is popular with parents because it is educational, and kids enjoy it because it is fun and engaging. The learning screens are colorful and rotate between the different topics so children don’t get bored. In addition, TeachMe: Kindergarten has a unique reward system where children earn coins to buy stickers to place in different scenes or buy items for the animated virtual aquarium. The simple and intuitive user interface is designed to be child friendly, allowing children to play without help from an adult. Mimi Mouse, our animated teacher, gives patient verbal instructions and feedback to encourage students to learn and succeed!

TeachMe: Kindergarten keeps children motivated 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 different colorful sticker scenes or to purchase items for a virtual aquarium. Reward scenes can be exported as wallpaper or emailed to family and friends.
The virtual aquarium reward allows children to use their coins at the aquarium’s fish store to purchase animated fish to put in their tank. They can also buy plants, gravel, centerpieces and fish food to add to their aquarium.
The achievement screen allows parents and children to easily see progress for each topic. Each topic has five levels represented by stars, along with a colorful progress bar which shows how close you are to achieving the next level. The screen also shows the number of learned questions and the number of correct answers per topic.
The teaching system quizzes on 10 questions at a time in each topic. A question is marked as learned once it is answered correctly three times in a row. When a question is learned, a new more difficult question becomes active.
The math learning screens teach the concepts of addition and subtraction using an interactive interface. In the addition topic, the child can tap a button to add the correct number of objects onto the screen, and then they can tap the objects to count them. In the subtraction topic, the child drags objects into a trash can to remove them, and they can tap the remaining objects to count them.
