Teaching English to Preschoolers with iPhones
We (i.e. the creators of Pain in The English) developed a series of iPhone apps to teach preschool kids how to recognize letters and words. (My wife developed the characters and I did the coding.) Our own 4-year old daughter has been enjoying them. They are now available on Apple's App Store. You can search for "bitskis" on your iPhone, or visit the official website at bitskis.com.
If you have kids and own an iPhone, please check it out. It's $2.
I believe “Yesses” is correct. It looks really funny, I know.
The correct plural is yeses. Nouns ending in -s (focus or excess, for example) generally are made plural simply by adding -es.
The Oxford American Dictionary accepts both yeses and yesses. Also gases and gasses. Compare “bus” and “buses” and I think “yeses” gets the win.
