Teach Your Monster to Read is a free experience outside of the app store:

I gladly paid for it way back when, and I've recently leaned that they're developing a math program.

Good luck!

Echoing the comments - great program, highly recommended. One of the very few teaching programs that consistently held the little one's attention.

As is usually the case with these free app posted here, when I go to check Google Play and iTunes, I already got them for free before. It's too bad companies are so stingy they keep giving away the same stuff periodically instead of something new. Epic Games is repeating a lot too lately.

Android Police used to list Android deals 3 times a week. Now it's usually only once a week so I have to check elsewhere. For a laugh I noticed this great "deal". Ahem:

https://play.google.com/store/app...e_10919836

It's an app that's normally $400 but free right now. Based on reviews it appears its only noteworthy feature is its ridiculously high price. I won't risk adding it to my account for fear I could get charged $400 in spite of it saying free. It doesn't look like anything I'd play or miss.
Yes. The company is being stingy here...

Khan Academy Kids is another excellent learning tool for kids up to 2nd grade. My son loved Teach Monsters too, but now he's all into Youtube 🙄

Sucks that Google play doesn't allow you to buy a free app anymore without installing it. Why?

Google play also removed the share link so now I screen shot to send an app to a friend and they have to search for it.

That $400 app is a scam and requires a crap load of permissions it doesn't need. The developers other games are also scams. You should remove the link, you are creating free advertising in Slickdeals for a con artist on Google play.

Anyone looking for a reading app IRL the phonics readers from the originating company (USBORNE) are top notch and have the added bonus of being focused on reading skills and lacking the branding/product placement of so many books targeted to children.

The sales model for Usborne in the U.S. is indeed an MLM scheme, but Usborne's products are far from garbage. Instead, this is simply the model Usborne chose for the U.S. I'd venture a guess that this model facilitates selling at a higher margin(?), but surely anyone else might have better insight. The books are sold through traditional publishers/channels in other countries. More importantly, there are very few children's book series which can be comparably rated as almost universally easy to recommend. Even some of my favorite series from domestic publishers, like the I Can Read and Ready to Read series, have plenty of overly commercial entries which diminish my ability to endorse those products wholesale. If you are interested in specific titles from those series, some of my favorites include Robin Hill School (Ready to Read Level 1) and Henry and Mudge (Ready to Read Level 2).

I discovered Usborne after having a predictable experience with the earliest phonics readers we bought. These were boxed sets which also featured brands like Paw Patrol (I bought them in 12-book sets for something like well under $1 a book!). The books had the audacity to begin by highlighting groups of words using phonics sounds (legitimate), sight words (always helpful), and then Paw Patrol Words (as in unique character names or other features important to the universe, because these were clearly important parts of my child's early reading journey). Once this resulted in a child otherwise not exposed to these cartoons demanding supermarket goods which featured them prominently, they HAD to go. Not long after I read about and was then exposed to Usborne's products at a local Maker fair. I've been buying them by the truckload ever since. I've even seen them at a local model train show (no surprise since Thomas tends to bring in the kids) and have made purchases there (bought a couple of kids puzzles that are both fantastic and, given this was right before the shutdown, perfectly timed).

Good luck!
Jon

P.S. - No, neither I nor anyone in my family represent this company.

Make sure your Google Play device list includes something you don't really turn on anymore, then "send" all your web purchases to that dummy/ghost device. Assuming the device runs a reasonable version of Android (so won't be flagged as incompatible) this is the method I use to effectively reserve discounted apps without properly installing them.

Good luck!
