Teach Me: Toddler
What's It About?
Kids tap the green "Play" arrow and immediately go to a multiple choice question. A correct answer gives them a green check mark, and they move on to the next question. An incorrect answer is explained clearly: "That is an oval. Find the circle." A correct answer is also clearly repeated along with a "right on" or "nice job." A counting question asks kids to identify how many objects they see. As kids tap on each object numbers appear so they can't count the same thing twice (like most toddlers do).
Is It Any Good?
TEACH ME: TODDLER doesn't offer as many features as its counterpart, Teach Me: Kindergarten, but with its younger intended audience, that feels right. The app drills kids on the most basic of concepts and rewards them nicely with virtual stickers -- and what preschooler doesn't love stickers? The interface is simple, the graphics clean and smooth. For 3- and 4-year-olds eager to learn who like drill-based lessons, this app is right on target.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by
