Intro to Letters is featured in the Apple Store on the iPads! As a matter of fact, it's pre-installed at Best Buy, and any other authorized Apple retailer. When we last visited our local store, we were entirely surprised to find Intro to Letters amidst all those other wonderful apps. What an honor for team Montessorium.
Friday, February 10, 2012 at 8:26AM We absolutely love it when parents take videos of their children working with our apps. There's something magical, and refreshing, about watching a child learn, when left to their own devices.
Watch as this yet to be three year old discovers the countries of North America, repeating their pronunciations, and then locating the countries on the map.
