Even when you have reliable internet, it might be tough to find the right resources online to teach your children. As the lockdown following the Covid-19 outbreak has confined us to our homes, most parents are forced to be teachers to their children, but without expertise, it can be a challenge.
There are multiple apps to help parents access the right resources to be able to teach their children at home. We have complied a list of the best free ones, to save your money and time.
Khan Academy Kids
Intended for children aged two to six, Khan Academy is one of the most popular e-learning apps, offering thousands of lessons in dozens of languages.
With progress trackers that let you know how far your kids have advanced in a particular topic, Khan Academy covers not only math and science but also music, drawing, coloring and much more with intuitive controls and cute cartoons to make learning fun for children.
Khan Academy also has an app for older students, which has math (everything from arithmetic to calculus), science (including biology, physics, and chemistry), economics, arts and humanities (like grammar and history), and computing. The apps are available for download on Android, iOS, and Amazon.
PBS Kids Games is already pretty famous among young children and your child is likely to instantly find comfort in at least a few PBS characters, including Molly of Denali, Sesame Street, or Clifford the Big Red Dog.
