About KidTeach Spell,Pronounce& Test
What is It ???
KidTeach is a Visual Tutor Application, aimed at teaching kids the names, Spellings and Pronunciations of real world things. It shows an Image (cartoon style, but closer to real thing), its name, then Spells it and pronounces it.
It also has a Test Mode, which shows an Image, provides 4 Options, allows selection of an option, counts correct choices made, calculates correct choice percentage (against total items of the category), and eventually, helps monitor the progress of Kid's Learning.
NEED ???
Mom/Dad, what is this ? What’s that called ? Is it a vegetable or a fruit ? Is it an animal or a bird ?
I bet all parents having kids in the age 3 - 12 hear this questions numerous times !!!
All parents are required to teach their kids, Names, Spellings and Pronunciations of real world entities (animals, fruits, vegetables, etc.). Further, kids are required to memorize the above against the images of these entities. This is how a kid eventually grows his/her vocabulary. Basically, academic syllabus in early stages of education, fall into this broader and very important category.
The only problem here is parent usually don't have time to continuously perform the above Activities. Worry not parents, KidTeach for the rescue.
There are wide range of categories (animals, birds, fish, vegetables, fruits, transports, etc.), and over 500+ images for things of these categories. Further, these will be upgraded continuously (specific requests from users are expected as well).
