What’s It About?
In TOPIQ MATH, READING & WRITING PROGRAM FOR KIDS IN PRESCHOOL, KINDERGARTEN & 1ST GRADE, kids practice counting, tracing letters, and recognizing patterns and letters with math and literacy games. They also can explore some interactive books and well-known nursery rhymes. As kids progress, they forge their own learning paths, and the material gets more difficult, so kids are always challenged at just the right level. Parents can see very detailed progress reports, which describe what their kids are playing and point out strengths and weaknesses.
Is It Any Good?
TopIQ Math, Reading & Writing Learning Program for Kids in Preschool, Kindergarten & 1st Grade has lots of well-designed games that provide great practice and opportunities for skill-building. Games are fun and kid-friendly, so kids learn through play. Because the games gradually get more complex, each kid is continuously challenged at his or her level. There's nice in-game support for kids having trouble choosing the right answer; detailed progress reports give parents valuable information about what their kids are learning, though so much detail also can end up being a bit confusing and overwhelming. There are a few games that are either poorly explained or that present information without enough context. For example, the purpose of a counting game with different types of food might be confusing to some kids. There's a ton of content here, but it may be difficult to keep up with the hefty price tag. Each family needs to consider how important this huge curriculum is for them. Parents also might want to consider the free option that has limited content but, depending on their needs, could be enough.

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 suggesting a diversity update.
