About CaliKids: Read, Write & Count
CaliKids is a method for learning to read, write and count, from age 2. It isn't a bundle of loose games: it's 66 levels in order, each one getting ready for the next. Pick the age (2, 3–4, 5–6 or 7+) and the app teaches what comes next, at the right difficulty. It goes from first scribbles to reading sentences, from tracing an A to writing from memory, and from counting pictures to adding and taking away. READING · 22 levels Letters and their sounds, capitals and lowercase, vowels, rhymes, syllables, words split up and put back together, word searches and sentences to put in order. A slow voice reads aloud while a box follows along. WRITING · 24 levels First strokes, loops and mazes to loosen up the hand; every letter with its stroke order animated; which letters go up and which go down on the line; copying, writing without a model, and letter and word dictation. Writing starts with capitals, which are easier, and lowercase comes next. In the word exercises, the app reads what your child has written. NUMBERS · 20 levels Counting, comparing sizes and amounts, shapes, writing each digit, ordering from smallest to largest, adding and taking away with pictures, doubles, sharing, the number line and telling the time to the hour. MADE FOR KIDS • Each exercise says in one line what it's for. • Hints and an eraser that removes just one part: mistakes are no big deal. • Every exercise picks up where you left it, even after closing the app. • Stickers to collect and an encouraging voice. • Print and cursive school handwriting, and 11 notebook rulings to choose from. • Works with Apple Pencil. • Works with VoiceOver and the system text size. FOR THE FAMILY • Admin mode for parents, protected by your account (Apple, Google or email) and a PIN: each child's progress, what they do well and what they find hard, their history, what each one sees and their own level path. • No ads. Your children's data stays only on the device, and you can delete it all at once. • Several children on the same device, each with their own name, age and progress. • In 6 languages: English, Spanish, Italian, French, German and Portuguese. It opens in the phone's language. WHAT'S FREE AND WHAT'S PAID All 66 levels of the method — reading, writing and numbers — can be tried for free: 6 rounds of each one. To keep going after that, CaliKids Premium opens every level in full, with every word topic, and brings new content as it arrives. It's a weekly or yearly subscription that renews automatically unless you cancel it, and you manage it from your account settings. Each word topic can also be bought on its own from its game. Every purchase goes behind a parental gate first, and anyone who already had the app keeps what they had: the levels that were free stay free.
