For initial learning, praise is ESSENTIAL no matter the number of tries. As the child generalizes his knowledge to make the mental match between picture and word -or- correct and incorrect, the child will naturally achieve correct answers with fewer and fewer tries until mastery is gained!!!!!!!Set up of this App (and their other ones) is POSITIVE reinforcement.These are all amazing ---- although I **REALLY** want the two "tweaks" made that I mentioned in my review of the Toddler Alphabet and Toddler Questions.I think the "lame" comment is absurd, and I have a 3 y/o child with special needs and two other children who are gifted learners. Read the reviews of the other APPS in this series to get an accurate view of how thoughtful and insightful these Apps are. I'm so glad I found them.My daughter is participating in the nationally recognized Literacy Program at "GiGi's Playhouse" in Schaumburg IL ( a Down syndrome awareness center ) and this App will reinforce those concepts while simultaneously stretching her skills in matching, auditory processing, visual recognition, memory, and general vocabulary. The combination of visual and auditory along with POSITIVE reinforcement is a goooooood thing!Again, r e a l l y want those TWEAKS made.
