If you have a preschooler, you’re no doubt familiar with Wee Sing, a beloved children’s brand that has taught through music for more than three decades. With more than 60 million books, albums and live-action videos sold, there’s one area the company was absent from -- until today.
zuuka’s iStoryTime has announced the availability of Wee Sing & Learn ABC for iOS, a $3.99 universal app for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch which taps into the bestselling Wee Sing children’s brand for an entertaining and educational new tool combining original music, animated animals and musical instruments from A to Z as well as read-along text for parents to have fun helping their kids learn the ABCs.
“We all know how important the ABC song is to learning the alphabet, especially at an early age,” said Graham Farrar, founder of zuuka. “The Wee Sing & Learn ABC App offers audio and visual cues to engage children and get them excited about the alphabet and more than anything, it encourages exploration and learning retention for one of the foundations of education -- the ABCs.”
Music educators Pam Beall and Susan Nipp, the creators of Wee Sing, understand that kids love to learn through music and repetition. "The interactive graphics, narration, and music in this app will enhance their language development, listening skills, and retention in such a fun way," said Nipp. Beall adds, "The Wee Sing & Learn ABC app effectively teaches letters and language through the use of music along with charming animation and genuine sounds to explore."
Wee Sing & Learn ABC is available now in the App Store for an introductory price of only $2.99 and requires an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad running iOS 4.2 or later; the 61.7MB download is a universal app.
