What is ABC Mouse?
ABCmouse for Teachers offers pre-K through second-grade curriculum touching on a variety of topics, many of which correlate to the Common Core State Standards. Kids visit a virtual classroom where they can play games, learn or review material, visit the zoo or a farm, or tend to a pet hamster or a fish. When kids complete activities, they earn tickets they can use to buy items in a virtual store.

Kids follow a learning path that gets progressively more challenging as they use the site. Their level is set based on starting age, and they can either follow a customized learning path or choose activities at random. Teachers can also choose and assign particular activities for each student. Content focuses on reading and writing, math, art and music, music and songs, social studies, and science and health. Content is presented through art, books, songs, puzzles, games, and printables. There are Spanish language activities as well as an option to set the main navigation menu to Spanish. Teachers can track kids' progress through the learning path as well as conduct other assessments. With a free teacher subscription, all content is available on the web and in multiple companion apps. Teachers can also provide kids with a code to access any assigned content at home.
