Writing Wizard for Kids vs ABC Reading Magic Series

This app has great features for early learning and teachers, specifically during distance learning. However, as a virtual teacher, I'm disappointed that the app hasn't done more to make it user friendly for students to use at home and teachers to collect data. Handwriting is one of the most challenging things to measure via distance learning. I would love for the app to have student log ins so my students can use it at home. I reached out to the company and was just told they don't offer that.

It's a fun app for the little boys however you don't get the full alphabet, only numbrrs 1-7, like five words out of 20, the images are misleading, and there are 10 mouths to feed at my house so we have extra money to upgrade apps that don't even tell you that you don't get everything and it's hard for the three year olds to use and it should be easy. Also there are a lot of ads that are right in your face that get accedentally clicked by little fingers as well as pop up ads that get invasive.

I liked this app when we first bought it. Both of my sons really liked it as well. Unfortunately, my son broke his tablet and now it's making us purchase it again. It says it is a one time purchase and use forever- That does Not seem to be the case though

Perfect for children to learn reading the right way! This update is excellent, especially with the addition of great explainations of what blending and segmenting are and how important these are for building a firm foundation. Preschool U's apps are the only ones I found that actually teach children the proper way to learn to read. I love the updated interface and games. Keep up the good work!!!

Valuable, but flawed for PreK-2 Instruction Great app for phonemic awareness and phonics, but the words used are frequently not within a preschooler's listening or speaking vocabularies, which makes some of the items quite challenging and instruction ineffective. Even in this video, we see the reading of the word "hull" and then a picture of grain. How many preschoolers have heard or will use the word "hull" with any frequency? Updating this app with more appropriate words for PreK-2nd grade children would improve it's effectiveness.
