This is the full classroom edition with teachers materials. I realise that most people would probably be happy with the free edition and I wouldnt have even looked at it for $64.99 but for $1 I paid for it anyway. My kid likes the Jolly Phonics and Hooked on Phonics so maybe I will get some good out of it.
Maybe a good one for the teachers out there?
The app is said to have "in app purchases" - which suggests it's NOT the whole set of eBooks & audios… Is it?
Not sure about the android version - but the iOS version is definitely all books (12 steps x 3 lessons each)
It looks like it's in American English, so your kids will be learning a cut-down form of grammar and spelling; and the accent to go with it.
Plus, it's aimed at meeting the US "Common Core" standard, which is the one Louis CK has been ranting about on Twitter and the radio (he feels it's stupid). It's likely to be a bit below the equivalent Aussie standard too; as the US have been progressively dumbing down their educational system for years.
It's aimed at prep and below. There's not too much grammar happening really. Although, must confess I hate the made up words to rhyme (mind you, I also dislike Dr Seuss for the same reason, despite his huge popularity.)
Got this free on android last time and has the potential to be a great product but has been buggy and unusable most of the time.
Fantastic! Got it for free on the Android a little while ago too, but for $1, it'll be even better to use on the iPad!
Android Version: $1.12 AU
