If you have not heard of it, ABCmouse.com
is an online early learning academy. It uses a 6 Step Learning Path (7 if
you include Toddler Time) that goes all the way through kindergarten. I
cannot stress how ABCmouse.com has changed our lives. Little Miss M is
advancing so fast, its unbelievable. Within just one week she started to
read/recognize numbers 1-5! And as a homeschooling family we
definitely appreciate the supplementary support.
I love that ABCmouse.com Early Learning Academy allows Little Miss M to have control over her
learning. She chooses the activities she wants to do, making her more
eager and willing to learn. I have to pull her away when her computer
time is up. And its never a fight to
get her learning!
She is about 50% through level one (for her age),
which I am totally ok with. She is
learning at her own pace and we all know that is the best way too learn. Some days she signs on with the intention of
only going on to check on her fish tank and hamster but ends up playing so she
can purchase supplies for them. The
rewards system is a huge part of why she wants to play.
In only 3 short months, we have tackled numbers 1-5 and the letters A-I. And by tackled, I mean recognition, writing, and sound!

Little Miss M absolutely loves that the program
theme changes with the season. With
each season/Holiday the city on the map is “decorated” and new special
activities are available. I love this
because it keeps everything new and exciting!

Another great thing that we have found with
ABCmouse is that they are constantly updating the program and adding material! They recently added the Pet Park tab, allowing
you to visit the park and choose from a selection of house pets to care for. Like the other pets available in the game,
these require attention. Your child is “responsible”
for feeding, playing with, bathing, and teaching their pets. This house pet also accompanies your child’s
avatar to multiple areas of the program.
Little Miss M wishes that she could have them all follow her
around.
She does not like doing the custom lessons that I
have set up for her using the Lesson builder because she does not get a prize at
the end like she does with the pre-planned lessons. It would be nice if I were able to award her tickets at
will. In order for parents to distribute
tickets they need to send in a testimonial or update their account, but even
then that is only a one-time thing. It
would also be nice to be able to change the amount of tickets awarded for
certain activities.
Regardless
of that slight drawback, ABCmouse.com is one of the best learning resources out
there for tot to kindergarten. It is
still and will remain a part of our daily lessons until she has learned it
all.

Oh, and another great
thing about this program is that you can register multiple children on one
account at no extra cost!
Would I recommend? Absolutely! At only $7.95/mo or $79/yr, you wont find a better price for such an amazing program. It is very reasonably priced and well worth the investment.

ABC Mouse is amazing. I read a review on a blog and signed up for the free trial a couple of months ago. My daughter just loves it. I don't really keep track of her progress as she is only 2 but she is progressing. I am amazed at all of the stuff she has learned. She knows how to use a mouse. Can access the site from a bookmark. She can do puzzles, books, and songs. It is unreal how great this program, even for really little ones.
ReplyDeleteShe asks me each night if she can play mouse. I usually let her play for about 15 minutes or so. Her favorite part is the fish tank. She has even figured out that she has to do more activities to get tickets to buy more fish.
