My thoughts:
I love that my kids are tech children and they can use this app on their own. Even my two years old toddler opens it up and he can have a story read to him. It doesn’t replace us reading to our children but I like that he can listen to the story and since he found the pages has animation he clicks on his favorite scenes and plays it over and over again. My daughter use the story mode since she can navigate on her own and she has learned quite a few vocabulary words. The problem solving skills are going hand in hand with her current math sections in school so after she finishes her homework we open up the app and practice some more. It’s a great tool to get your beginning reader to start the process of reading on their own and learning some extra skills. I also think the skills your kids can pick up is worth it. My kids give the app five stars.
