Educational Potential
Endless Learning Academy is a fun and comprehensive early learning app that teaches the alphabet, reading, vocabulary, phonics, spelling, numbers, math skills, Spanish, and more. The engaging app also features hundreds of progress-based lessons. These lessons include specific topics relating to social emotions, science, hobbies, telling time and so much more.
App is used with typically developing children as well as students who have speech and language delays and autism between the ages of 3 and 12.

Endless Alphabet introduces the Endless Monsters, a group of cute, curious creatures who illustrate the definition of the word displayed on the screen. In order to see the definition, your child has to assemble the word by dragging the squirming, chatty letters into the right order. It’s easy to do but rewarding: the video vignettes are funny and makes children cackle nearly every time they solve one of the 70-word puzzles.

It’s obvious that the company put a lot of effort into making the content both entertaining and educational.

Nicely animated, attracts children's attention. Definitions not so clear though. There should be more varied exercises for the kids to learn the particular vocabulary.
