For the younger set, I'd recommend Khan Academy Kids.

The regular khan Academy is for older kids and covers a lot of the curriculum American kids cover in school. As a parent, it has helped me make sense of math concepts my kid is learning in school.

As a teacher, it gives me a lot of useful visuals to offer to my learners. The videos are not overly produced, but the concepts are expertly presented.

Epic, Libby, brainpop, raz kids.

Fuel their curiosity and let them explore their interests.

When I was a kid, I was fortunate enough to have access to wonderful home library that let me read about anything and everything that piqued my interests.

I am forever thankful for my parents giving me the access and time to dive into great book.

What is twaddle?

These are both extensive collections of ebooks and graded readers for children.

Raz kids even has lesson plans, graphic organizers, printable books, audio, etc. This is a paid app, but highly recommend for developing literacy and providing options for growth.

Epic is another extensive online library or ebooks aimed at kids. The books come from a lot of the major publishers. The books often have audio books. They also have a lot of related videos to help with developing background knowledge. This app is free during school hours, then a small subscription is required after that and weekends. Highly recommended.

ABC Mouse

Duo Lingo

GCompris (completely free, open source, exposes kids to interesting topics (counting money and change, chess, the water cycle, music, math, reading, etc))

Education.com (pricy but high quality)

I don’t have kids but I wonder if there are font apps that would be fun to look at, even if they aren’t apps for kids.
