TeachMe: 2nd Grade

Great app, great exercises for spelling, word recognition and math. However, the 2nd grade version seems to be bad at recognizing numeric answers. The app had a very difficult time recognizing simple numbers like 2 and 4 when written both by a kid and an adult. We used TeachMe 1st grade and didn’t have this problem at all. More feedback. How can so many math problems be number minus or plus zero. That’s hardly 2nd grade math.

Our biggest frustration with this app is that it rarely excepts the kids letters, even when written correctly. I have pictures showing what the kids have written and what actually shows up. Both of girls hate this app because of this issue and as a parent, I have to sit right with them both and make sure it is picking up what is being written. Could really use an update on the hand written portions and include a section for penmanship (how to write so the app will recognize it). My kids and most of the world, have to know how to use a keypad and number pad anyways. For spelling, this app has taken forever to advance my girls and they are very bored with the few word choices given over months at a time with no advancement. Also instead of changing the voice for (find the word), keep it the same and a little louder. It’s very hard to understand. Over all the girls are learning math despite the writing difficulties. Teach town needs a save button. My daughter has used her coins to purchase some items but then they just disappeared and she didn’t get her coins back. They have both stayed away from teach town since. Needs an update seriously, last one was 2 years ago. And the developer rarely responds to people’s comments. Are you there

While other programs will allow your child to write their letters any way, this one has the ability to teach proper letter formation. It includes math, spelling, and writing. The game is very customizable allowing you to choose spelling only, or math only, etc. If your child is not writing well and you do not wish to address that, you can turn on a number pad for the math problems. We own the entire package. This has been a wonderful addition to my children's learning.
