User Reviews
Khan Academy Kids is the ONLY screen time I feel zero guilt about. My 4-year-old learned to read using this app and now loves books. Zero ads, zero nagging for purchases, zero inappropriate content. Every parent needs to know about this app.
I recommend this to every parent in my class. The curriculum aligns well with what we teach, and the adaptive learning means kids get appropriate challenges. The progress reports help me understand where each student needs extra support. Wish more educational apps were like this.
