Back-to-School sale on Disney Learning Apps

Now that school is back in session, parents are looking for some educational apps to challenge their preschoolers.  It comes as no surprise to me that Disney apps are some of the most popular kids' apps, because kids love to interact with Disney characters, and parents love to see their kids learning as they play.   But it gets better:  Disney Publishing is kicking off the school year with an exciting app sale - all Disney Learning apps will be only $1.99 on the App Store (orig. $4.99) from August 29th – September 12th! The apps on sale feature some of Disney's most beloved characters, including Winnie the Pooh, Sheriff Woody and Buzz Lightyear.  Here's more information on the apps:


· Pooh’s Birthday Surprise (early literacy and pre-math skills)
Featuring the beloved characters of the Hundred-Acre Woods, this interactive storybook app invites kids to join in Pooh’s birthday party planning. The app aims to help children acquire and retain early literacy and pre-math skills at home and on-the-go through curriculum-based content and such activities as identifying and extending simple patterns, problem solving, vocabulary awareness, and story comprehension. The app is recommended for children ages 3-5.



· Toy Story Showtime! (early reading concepts)
This interactive storybook app, aimed at children ages 4-6, is designed to help learners explore essential early reading concepts through engaging and interactive ways. “Toy Story Showtime!” features Buzz Lightyear as he sets out to impress Jessie the Cowgirl in a talent show. Readers can assist him with his comedy and juggling acts while they discover new vocabulary words through context and story-based repetition.



· Learn Chinese: Toy Story 3 (introduction to basic Mandarin)
Learn Chinese: Toy Story 3 presents a whole new way to learn a foreign language with this read-along app based on the international teaching method Diglot Weave. Kids experience the excitement of Toy Story 3 with Buzz and Woody while gradually transforming it from English to a story they understand in Chinese and Pinyin, mixing the new with the known by playing with 5 progressive levels of the story.
