The i-Ready app is used by many schools, and as such may be free for your child, even during the summer!

Best Paid Learning Apps for Kids

ABC Mouse

If you’ve watched PBS Kids TV channel, you’ve undoubtedly seen the ads for ABC Mouse, which is a sponsor of PBS Kids. ABC Mouse is a great learning app for kids, but you have to make sure that you set up your child under the appropriate lesson group for their age, in order to get the best learning value out of it.

Adapted Mind

This is especially great for math, and some reading, but doesn’t currently have as much content for other areas. We’ve seen kids get so excited to play this because of the fun characters they have which kids can earn.
