I was given a year's subscription to ABCmouse.com for this review.
I have been my kids' teacher since 1987. Most of my kids have never seen the inside of a classroom until they reached college. I taught all six of my children since before they started kindergarten. Since then, two have graduated with honors in chemistry and applied physics. Only the youngest one is still taking his lessons from me while the others are still in college. Even though it has been a while since I taught young children, I was asked to review ABC Mouse.
Let me just say one word to start out about
ABCmouse.com - GREAT! I wish I had this way back in the 80s. It is a fully functional learning site that really teaches preschool, pre-k, and kindergarten so very well. Children can start anywhere in the curriculum, and move through it at their own pace. There are lessons for math, science, social studies, art, music, and learing letters, phonics, and reading.
I was always big on my kids reading well. My approach was to learn to read phonectically and having a good base of sight words. ABC Mouse has this approach to teach kids to read. Learning the alphabet is fun at ABC Mouse, too. They have such a great collection of Letter Song Animated Videos. These 26 A-Z Music Videos, with sing-a-long lyrics and superb animation, are entertaining and educational. My college kids even having fun watching all the videos with me.

All subjects, reading, math, the world around us, music, art and colors, are well covered and integrated well into all of the lessons. There are six levels of learning: preschool for ages 2+, pre-k, and kindergarten. Books are read to children, there are exercises in coloring, puzzles, and games. There is even an option that the parent can record the books for their children.

There are three ways your child can learn: 1) The Step-by-Step Learning Path which is the easiest way with the lessons all ready to go for your child; 2) Independent Learning or Free Play in which your child can do any activity that he or she wants to do; or 3) Guided Learning which puts you, the parent, in control over what you want your child to learn by building the lessons yourself.
