25.01.2022 This little guy is one of the vehicles in the typing app we are almost ready to release. Adults and kids will love this game where you have to get through the different areas typing letters to destroy obstacles. If you can type to a beat you get even more points. Our typing has improved just testing this so we know it works.

23.01.2022 This has to be shared, I love Maths jokes. Just a reminder that our Maths App for the first years of school is still happening. From talking to a lot of young children I am aware that we really need to do a fractions App. I come across so many young kids who just "don't get it". Understanding fractions should begin early and then, like reading, it's easy to build on sound understanding. https://www.facebook.com//a.98505716817/1354987821183950/

21.01.2022 We love feedback: "Sounds to Words" is a great app. I'm using it to work with almost non-verbal children with autism, and they love it. I have the impression that they are making progress with letter recognition and formulation as a result of your app. Congratulations!"

17.01.2022 There's a bug fix for the paid version of the Sight Words App now live on Android and Amazon and it is in review on Apple. If you haven't updated to the latest version on IOS then wait until the bug fix is available, it should be approved soon. The latest version of the App has new backgrounds and animations. Thanks to the users who notified us of the problem.

11.01.2022 The ParrotFish Apps are different to most other apps that say they are educational. Our apps are engaging, entertaining and fun but their prime purpose is to teach. We present content in a systematic order, in small chunks and cover the same content in a variety of ways. We generally have 6 games for each level, each of which emphasises a different learning style because we believe that children learn the best when the same material is presented in multiple ways. Follow the links in this article to see why we do it. https://ww2.kqed.org//learning-styles-is-visual-learning-/

11.01.2022 This is Tommy Turtle from our soon to be released Maths App for Kindergarten kids. The app is well on its way - 6 months to get this far. It has 6 great games that teach counting, addition and subtraction and complies with current teaching methods. Kids will really understand numbers and their relationships to each other.

10.01.2022 The Sight Words App is on special on Android for this week only. Half price or less!

08.01.2022 Fractions as a topic can be so difficult to teach but if the child really gets the basics early on then everything is much easier. Look at this method of using LEGO as an aid. http://www.lifehack.org//an-amazingly-effective-way-to-hel

06.01.2022 We have updated the video for our Our Sight Words App. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZoSjKnuCsM

04.01.2022 Our Maths App for the first years of school is now available on IOS. It concentrates on number, starting with counting to 5 and then uses those numbers to teach addition and subtraction, counting on, decomposition, friends of 5. In fact all of the concepts needed for the higher order numbers are covered with just the numbers 0 to 5. We are really concentrating on developing concepts in small doses. The first levels are free, the rest of the levels are available with in app purchase. www.parrotfish.com.au

02.01.2022 Kids learn better when they can connect previous learning to the new, they know what skills and content they are going to learn, and they can monitor their own progress. The content in our apps is arranged in levels or stages with each building on the skills learned previously. We give lots of practice with different games at each level, each emphasising different teaching and learning styles. Kids (and parents) can monitor progress through our star system, and they can't progress until a level of mastery has been achieved. Our system motivates, and sometimes frustrates, but it does work.
