We have been doing a lot of traveling lately and this next review was perfect to take along with us on this last trip to Texas we had. Recently we were given a 6-month subscription to Online Times Alive from City Creek Press, Inc.. It is a program that provides online lessons with animated, funny, memorable songs and stories for kids to learn their times tables from. Where was this when I was in the 3rd grade?!?!
We also were able to review their Times Alive App, available for iOS 9.0 or above. We ended up using more then on the computer because of traveling. Also available is their "Lite" version you could check out if you have any concerns about the app running on your device.
There are cute coloring pages to help reinforce the songs and stories. And multiple ways to help keep those facts in their brain. Since it does offer audio and visual aspects it would work for all types of learners. The songs are catchy and the animation is flashy and fun, unless you have a highly sensitive kid.
Throughout the program your child will be able to test their progress and retention by doing short reviews and quizzes. Even visual recall on the main number characters I thought was really cool and helpful. Afterwards, you do have the ability to repeat lessons if you need more time on a specific number. A progress report is available to the parent at any time, which will show the child's progress through the lessons as well as their scores and completion times for each quiz.
We used the App almost exclusively, Kaden is highly sensory sensitive and I found that having him use the App was tolerable and way more enjoyable. He was able to just shoot through the list of contents quickly while we drove and it not only entertained him, but helped reinforce his multiplication tables. This is a great way to add a little zip in your homeschool day and dare I say make Math silly and fun.
You can purchase Times Alive as a monthly online subscription for $9.95/month with a one-time $6.95 installation fee. This will allow you to be able to access the program on any computer and can be used by all the kids in your family. Works on Mac or PC and you will need internet connection for access. I'm excited to share that for a limited time, if you are interested in giving the program a try, you can use the code: lovetolearn and waive the installation fee!
