Sparky's Adventure is packed with thinking skills! Everything from visual perceptual skills, sequencing, short term memory, matching, inference, visual discrimination, and comparing and contrasting. There is no doubt that the inventor of this app deeply values and understands the importance of these skills for early childhood development. The kids voice and the accompanying music were a perfect match for the visuals. The game was set up in a simple and organized manner, not to confuse the younger children with too many moving objects or excess visual or audio stimulation. My son loved this app and little does he know about the fantastic cognitive benefits of playing it! This app is light years away from the mind numbing apps such as Angry Birds and Tumble Run.

This app is top-of-the-line! It's easy for kids to get started and hard to put down. Children practice a variety of critical thinking skills including visual perception, concentration, evaluation, pattern recognition (sequencing), and analysis. The app challenges their memory and speed while encouraging them to continue playing with a fun rewards (building a playground). The program automatically adapts to challenge students based on their current skill level avoiding the problem of player frustration while building confidence and lifelong foundational skills at a time when their brains are most receptive. As a retired teacher and parent I highly recommend this app. The parent's corner makes it easy to monitor development and progress in relation to students of a similar age, which makes the statistics so much more valuable.
