One of the light bulb moments I experienced in making the decision to start RatCat Software and to build iPhone apps came one day watching my daughter struggle with reading. For the first 3 marking periods of school this past year she consistently came home with a C on her report card in the reading category. Everything else, straight A’s. I thought to myself there has to be some way we can help boost her ability to read and understand the words on her grade level. A way that would be fun yet educational. I did a bit of web searching and found some really neat websites. We became especially found of spellingcity. One of the games that they offer is a memory match, which gave me the inspiration to create a similar game for the iPhone and iPod touch. Hence, Meghan’s Memory Games where born. Now the grades are in for the final period and bingo, Meghan raised her score to a B. Now is this conclusive evidence that Meghan’s Memory Games improve reading skills… Probably not.. But Meghan thinks so!
Good Job Meghan, we are proud of you!

First let me start off with a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has made Meghan’s Memory Game First Grade such a success. Sales have been steadily growing with our first release in the Meghan’s Memory Game series of educational games. RatCat is excited to announce that we have now completed the kindergarten edition. Aimed at the four to five year old Meghan’s Memory Game Kindergarten contains over 250 two, three and four letter words. This version is pending the Apple App Store approval and will hopefully be available starting on April 12th, 2009. Next up will be version upgrade to our first grade edition as we have developed a better method of compressing the audio files and will be able to reduce the size of our application. After that we will focus attention on completing a 2nd grade edition.
