Best free educational children's app I've found. Can't believe it's totally free (and no ads)! My almost 3 year old loves it and can do it mostly independently, even when she gets it wrong, because it makes each question easier to answer if you select the wrong thing. It's the only alphabet/phonics app I've found that keeps her engaged for a while. She loves the stories and the speaking tasks. Wish there was a British English option though.

My 2.5 yr old loves playing "owl school" Some of the lessons are a little advanced for her, and I help talk her through them, but she has learned so much! I was looking for something because she is really interested in letters and points out all the T's, etc, in her books, but would often mix up similar looking letters. Perfectly expected, but she loves learning with Duo. I love that it's free and ad free. I'm sure by the time she's more in the target age range, she will be learning even more.

My daughter is 3 1/2 years old and has been using this app for about a year (it's less of a headache to have her play "her games" in the car rather than listening to kids' songs/nursery rhymes all the way to our destination). Today she casually walked up to me with a book and STARTED READING IT TO ME! She was pointing to the words that she was reading and sounding out some of the bigger words! The kicker is, we just bought said book last night and haven't read any of it to her yet! Get this Ap

This game is great! I no it doesn't teach other languages because it is not Duolingo.! Duolingo means two languages this game is about learning how to read and write. it is a good game I give it a 5/5 you should install it.
