Kids Connect the Dots

admin — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 09:49:13 +0000

Keep your preschoolers occupied while they gain and improve their number and letter recognition skills with Kids Connect the Dots, the acclaimed digital version of the classic game.

Millions of children have already enjoyed its friendly themes, bright illustrations, and encouraging vocal cues. This app features more than 100 simple connect-the-dot puzzles and promises to keep your little one enthralled.

Choosing the play button immediately begins a connect-the-dot adventure. With a preschool-friendly interface, the app is simple enough for your child to play without any help. The dots may be customized to display upper or lower case alphabet letters, and odd or even numbers. The child can connect the dots by either finger-drag drawing or single tapping from dot-to-dot. As he or she progresses, the next dot lights up. This hint command may be controlled to occur immediately or after the screen has been idle for three seconds.

When children succeed in connecting all of the dots, the outline is delightfully transformed into a colorful graphic. It might be a bird or muffin, a giraffe or a treasure chest. Preschoolers are surprised and filled with wonder to see the creatures and objects they have created “come to life”.

Parents can emphasize the importance of following a sequence by activating the app’s audio cues. When the audio mode is selected, a pleasing narrator guides your preschooler through the activity, naming each letter or number he touches. The narrator also gives your budding genius an upbeat affirmation before the child moves on to the next puzzle.

The images that appear when your child completes a picture are not always easy to guess. This lends an element of mystery to the activity, developing your preschooler’s imagination and love of learning.

Kids Shape Puzzle

admin — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 09:48:49 +0000

Over a million parents have already downloaded this simple, entertaining, and educational game for preschool-aged kids containing more than 100 fun picture puzzles. Each puzzle presents your child with an outline of an image belonging to a category, such as animals, food, numbers and letters.

To solve the puzzle, the child must slide and snap the colorful puzzle pieces into place to reveal a delightful image. Once the puzzle has been successfully completed, a pleasant teacher’s voice congratulates the child on a job well done and identifies the images. This reinforces your child’s basic word recognition.

While your tot or preschooler is being entertained and practicing her basic reading skills, she is building and improving her cognitive, visual/spatial, tactile, and fine motor skills, as well as shape recognition.

Although this app is perfect for tiny tots, many children in kindergarten and the early grades also enjoy snapping the puzzle pieces into place, revealing a colorful image. We’ve even had some parents ask, “If this is for kids, why am I enjoying it so much?”

The preschool-friendly interface features large pieces and fun cartoon images. After a brief tutorial session with your child, the app will be simple enough for him to operate alone.

Choosing the preferences option allows you to control the app’s level of challenge and interactivity. For instance, you may choose to turn off the puzzle-piece borders displayed in the form, creating a puzzle more closely resembling a traditional one with lots of little cardboard pieces that can quickly dominate a floor or a dining room table.

Every section is designed to let children enjoy success time after time and receive positive reinforcement from the likable teacher, so they want to keep learning. Once your child is involved and happy, you can relax, with the assurance that he or she is having a great time–and learning.

Kids Numbers and Math

admin — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 09:25:54 +0000

Help your preschool and early elementary school children learn their numbers and master basic arithmetic skills with Kids Numbers and Math. Over a million children have already played this package of brightly designed, pleasantly narrated number recognition and math games which is made with little hands and budding mathematicians in mind.

With its large, easily readable numbers and a bright, simple color palette, Kids Numbers and Math promises to keep your child’s attention with kid-friendly backgrounds including hot air balloons, orchards, and an old-fashioned black board.

A pleasant-sounding teacher guides, encourages, and congratulates the children as they progress through the activities. A series of exciting sound effects punctuates your child’s taps and salutes them with uplifting chimes each time the problem is successfully completed, an option parents can customize within the app’s preferences menu.

- Counting
Children can learn their numbers from 1 to 20 by counting up, or down, using the app’s large, kid-friendly back and forward buttons. Parents can choose to have the numbers spoken in one of eight languages (English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Chinese, and Japanese) and set the numbers to appear sequentially or randomly.

- Recognizing and Comparing Numbers
Two activities specifically encourage your child’s number comparison and recognition skills: Find the Largest Number and Find the Smallest Number. With each game, a series of hot air balloons descend from the top of the screen and bob up and down. The narrator encourages the child to pick the balloon with the largest or the smallest number.

The constant motion and varying number of the balloons, from two to four, along with the large number range, from 1 to 99, promotes concentration and quick thinking.

- Finding a Match
Parents can encourage their child’s memory skills with the Find a Match game. Based on the classic turn-over tile memory game format, children are prompted to find the matching numbers hiding beneath a field of cloud-shaped tiles. The number of clouds can be set in the context menu for this activity.

- Learning Addition and Subtraction
Two activities guide children through the basics of addition and subtraction using apples and pears, and a third, advanced exercise, combines the two.

Children are given a problem to solve, four answer choices, and visual clues to help them find the right answer.

The advanced exercise provides a series of combined addition and subtraction problems with numerals ranging from 1 to 99. The multiple choice format of the addition and subtraction games stays the same, but this activity eliminates visual references– no orchard fruit to help your child figure out the right answer.

If you want your child to learn math – and enjoy it – you’ll love Kids Numbers and Math, and so will your little one!

Kids Learn to Read

admin — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 09:25:37 +0000

Featured at the Google I/O developer conference in San Francisco, Kids Learn to Read is the latest child-pleasing addition to Intellijoy’s best-selling reading curriculum series, and is preceded by Kids ABC Letters and Kids ABC Phonics. Already downloaded by half a million parents, this app’s popularity is continuing to grow.

Kids Learn to Read is a delightful game that invites preschool-aged children to practice blending sounds together to read and spell simple words, such as “dog”, “sun”, and “big”.

In its three sections, children get to:

- learn to blend letter sounds into words by moving Tommy the Turtle across the letter bridge as each letter is sounded out and a word is formed and pronounced. Your kids can hand Tommy a skateboard to make him go faster as they become comfortable with blending the sounds.

- have fun practicing elementary reading as they are asked to fit Tommy’s animal friends with skateboards and helmets

- make words in a way that’s fun by turning real-looking blocks with letters on each side until the word is spelled out

If your children do not know the alphabet sounds yet, we recommend our Kids ABC Phonics app. And if your kids need to learn or practice the names of the letters, try our Kids ABC Letters app.

Every section is designed to let children enjoy success time after time and receive positive reinforcement from the likable teacher, so they want to keep learning. Once your child is involved and happy, you can relax, with the assurance that he or she is having a great time – and learning.

Kids ABC Phonics

admin — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 09:24:48 +0000

Kids ABC Phonics is the second app in Intellijoy’s Reading Curriculum Series (preceded by Kids ABC Letters and followed by Kids Reading). Downloaded nearly one million times, this app teaches letter sounds and the basics of blending via its four wonderfully child-friendly sections. In Learn Letter Sounds, kids can turn a picture-filled letter block and hear the ABC letter sounds pronounced. With Build Letter Blocks, children make their own ABC picture blocks while reinforcing their newly-formed phonics skills. In Pop Letter Bubbles, letter-filled bubbles float on screen as children try to pop them. But don’t be fooled by the fun – by the time children are done with this activity, they will know what letter goes with which sound! In Make Words, kids start blending phonics while putting word puzzles together. The next app in the series, Kids Reading, further expands on these important skills.

With Kids ABC Phonics, your kids will learn the alphabet letter sounds – guaranteed! While Kids ABC Phonics teaches letter sounds and the basics of blending, it does not cover the next step, which is fluency in actual reading. Developing reading skills is a distinct educational goal, which is addressed in a separate game, Kids Reading.

Every section of Kids ABC Phonics ensures your child’s success and gives them positive reinforcement so that they’ll want to keep on learning. It’s education in disguise!

Kids ABC Letters

admin — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 09:23:05 +0000

Intended for younger children who need to learn or practice their ABCs, Kids ABC Letters is the first part of Intellijoy’s Reading Curriculum Series. Downloaded almost a million times, this fun education-in-disguise app will help your child master the name and appearance of each letter.

Kids ABC Letters has four wonderfully age-appropriate sections. Naming Letters provides delightfully distraction-free way to learn the name and the appearance of each letter. Kids can tap on the letters to verify that they’ve learned the names correctly. In Forming Letters, children create letters by sliding colorful puzzle pieces into place. Recognizing Letters is an exciting activity in which children help a cat catch fish with letters written on them. By the time children are done, they know the appearance and pronunciation of the letters by heart. Finally, Identifying Letters in Context teaches children how to recognize letters as they appear in words, reinforcing the concept that words are made up of letters. Together, these games form a focused way for kids to learn the name and shape of each alphabet letter.

Kids ABC Letters focuses on the letters names, not the letter sounds. Knowing how the alphabet letters are pronounced is a distinct educational goal, which is covered in a separate app called Kids ABC Phonics and further reinforced in Kids Learn to Read. Every section is designed to let children enjoy success time after time and receive positive reinforcement from the likable teacher. Once your child is involved and happy, you can be assured that he or she is having a great time – and learning.
