First thing I hear almost every morning is, "ABCmouse please?"
My 2 year old daughter has been using ABCmouse.com for about 3 months now. My Husband and I have noticed amazing improvement in her ability to recognize her numbers and letters in context, her vocabulary has exploded, and she is using longer sentences. She has already graduated from the "Toddler" learning phase and has moved onto "Preschool". She plays games, colors pictures, assembles puzzles, follows along with books, and sings songs pertaining to the lesson that she's on. For example, this morning I watched her as she popped the bubbles with the letter "F", and we sang all about the letter "F" together.
Being a Stay-at-Home Mom, it's my responsibility to make sure that our daughter is prepared for school when the time comes. Since I decided to stay at home I have been doing my best to work with her but I am no teacher. I sometimes got frustrated with my daughter and myself, she would get bored and loses interest. I wouldn't know how to salvage the our activity and I would honestly feel a little defeated.
We were watching TV one afternoon and I saw an ad for ABCmouse.com. This was not the first commercial we had seen for the website but this particular morning I decided to check it out, and I'm so glad I did. The month we started happened to be a free trial month (bonus) so I signed up without hesitation and it was only $7.99 monthly to continue.
By the second lesson she was hooked. She loves to earn tickets and spend them on new items for her virtual fish tank and pet hamsters. We sing songs and play games, she just can't get enough. I'm not even ashamed to say that I occasionally let her play ABCmouse while on the potty, she's potty training an we can be in there for a while sometimes. Since they launched the ABCmouse Android App I been able to let her play while we grocery shop. I know she is learning and she requests it before anything else. We make sure to limit her time on electronics so she doesn't play ABCmouse all day. We supplement her learning with different activities, most of which I find on Pinterest.
As long as she enjoys playing, we will continue subscribing to ABCmouse.com and I cannot thank them enough for creating a program that helps my child love to learn.
