ABCmouse ReviewsABCmouse is an online preschool-kindergarten curriculum that teaches letters, letter sounds, counting, math, art, science, music and phonics. The child starts out at the level that you choose and progresses through various areas by working virtual puzzles, singing songs, visiting the zoo and farm, reading books, virtual coloring, etc. A fun bonus is that the child gets tickets when they complete each simple lesson that they can use to "purchase" things for their virtual room. Cost is under $10 a month but you can try a month for free. Up to 4 children can use this at one time.

    Pros: Inexpensive, easy to use, fun!
    Cons: The printables are good but could be better.
    Grades Used: Pre-K to Grade 1

    We LOVE this program! My daughter was to start Kindergarten this year, but unlike her older brothers she was not interested (to say the least!). Out of desperation I searched and found ABC Mouse. She loves it so much that she doesn't even realize she is learning, and now that she has started to learn key concepts she is more open to other forms of instruction as well. ABC Mouse is VERY worth the cost. I will be using it for my younger children in the future as well!

    Pros: Fun, colorful, simple navigation
    Cons: That the learning ends at level K
    Grades Used: Pre-K, 1st grader

    I give this program 5 stars for sure! I joined ABCmouse.com because my children saw it advertized on PBS. They begged me to join. It was very simple to join. It was very simple to set the different student accounts up as well.
    I love that my account allows more then one child for the same price. Many paid school programs require a few per student. The price is WELL within my budget.
    Their customer service responds to emails so quickly! No waiting days for a response.
    I use this for a Pre-K and she loves it! I also use ABCmouse for my 1st Grader. It has level up to only K, but they both love their room to decorate and of course their hamster and aquarium. I can't wait for them to add 1st grade to their site.
    I love this program and plan on using it for years to come!!
