Community Review for ABCya!
My Take
The amount of activities available in ABCya makes it easy for my students to access and be actively engaged during our class time. Advanced students can get bored pretty easy, but the majority of my students love this site.
How I Use It
I primarily use this site with 1st - 3rd grade students. It is great for mini-lessons (i.e. Typing Rocket, Jr. for keyboard recognition) and focused review of something being taught in the classroom. My students will typically use this as a "May Do" in my lab after we completed our assigned work. Time must be monitored due to the fact that there are such a variety of activities that students easily lose track of time.

Free version has many ads, but does the job.
There are many ads, which sometimes makes the mobile version unusable, but overall ABCya is good for its value given that it is free. The variety of games is a double edged sword though, as students don't have a learning path to follow since they are free to choose whatever they'd like to play. This can be overwhelming to some students.
