A+ app for kids!
My daughter(age 7) used Khan Academy in school prior to the 2020 pandemic.
Our school district listed Khan Academy as a resource to use when schools began closing in March. We used it in addition to her other school work during that time.
We decided to try this app for our son that is preschool age but needs just a little more time before introduction to a public setting and teachers; he’s our spirited one. Our son (age 4) LOVES this app, he willingly selects Khan Academy when we give him screen time. He actually stays engaged for long periods of time and has fun doing it. He uses the information learned from his lessons and applies it to his toys or in real life settings. He’s even begun to read short stories!!
In conclusion, my personal opinion is that this app is amazing. If you have children that are already in school and need a little something to stay engaged; get this app. If you have a wild tornado child (our son) that has shown interest in learning but they are not quite ready to be put into a school setting; get this app. They go at their own pace and advance to the next subject after mastering the first.
They also offer additional resources on the website for your kids, such as circle time videos, free printable worksheets. I wish more educational websites/apps worked like Khan Academy! Again, my own personal opinion and each family/child is different, but Khan Academy is a perfect fit for us.
It's exciting to hear that your son is beginning to read the short stories! Thank you so much for the review! If you have any questions or suggestions for the app, feel free to reach out to [email protected].
Wow! Just what my kids needed!
Kahn Academy Kids is the best educational kids app I have found for my kiddos. The lessons are fun and engages my kids making it exciting to learn. We now use this app daily as a supplement to what they are learning in school. I have a 3 and 6 year old and both of them have their own profile and things we are working on.
My 6 year old is learning how to read and he loves reading the books on the app out loud to me. My 3 year old is learning her letter sounds and this app actually pronounces the letter sound correctly for her. Super impressed by that as I haven’t found that to be common practice with education all apps - even on leap frog academy. The app is very intuitive to use and easy for my kids. I appreciate this because I can leave them to work on it independently or work alongside them - whichever I choose. Again, this is hard to come by. I also love how they get still get challenged by the lessons and actually grow and learn without feeling left discouraged. It gently nudges them if they get something incorrect. The math portion is wonderful as well and something I will be exploring more of. We have only had the app a week and there is SO much we can use this for. I felt compelled to leave a review already for the amount we have already used and enjoyed Khan Academy. Download this without hesitation for your child.
You won’t regret it.

Language switching
The application is excellent. Working with Apple Pencil is very convenient.
Add the ability to switch the language within the program itself. At the moment, you have to know the iPadOS language. And add other languages: German, for example, is almost the same as English. nine0005
Thank you for your feedback! Glad you like the app.
You don't have to change the iPadOS language to change the language. To do this, go to the device settings (where there is a wi-fi connection, airplane mode, etc.) -> Find iTrace in the device settings -> Language -> Select your preferred language.
Only 2 languages: English and Russian. Unfortunately, we do not support German at the moment. Our team is small, so adding new languages takes a lot of time. nine0005
Super
Great app. Just what is needed for a child who is learning to write, and for those who do not know letters and numbers,
will also be of interest
Competent tutorial!
It turned out to be a very useful educational application for children who are learning to write letters and numbers! My son is already writing, but not correctly, not like that.
Of course, he doesn’t listen to me, but the iPad is everything for him. After playing with this wonderful application, I really began to write better! nine0007 Thank you developers!
They would rather make a Russian version, although even so many letters are similar, and the numbers are even more so.

Programming for Kids - Top 10 iPad Apps for Teaching Kids aged 5+
Sometimes the desire to learn how to program "covers" on the road - in a traffic jam, train, subway. Then it is not possible to get a laptop, search the Internet and wait for the next levels to load. Mobile applications come to the rescue, available at any time. nine0005
Most of them are in the app store for Apple products. But Android owners are not deprived either - there are many sites on the Internet with online versions of famous games.
The only question that arises is how they differ from the computer versions. Actually, nothing. These are the same programs in which you need to create algorithms not with a cursor, but with your finger. Perhaps, for young children, it will even be much more convenient than the usual control.
Contents
Owners of smart Apple products can start to rejoice - in the App Store you can download Cargo-Bot completely free of charge. This is an innovative application designed to teach programming to children of all ages using simple examples (however, the developers recommend starting at the age of 11). Even if they were not interested in this area before, after a couple of hours of playing (which will fly by like a second), they will learn the basics of logic, learn a lot about the work of algorithms and will be ready to create their own. nine0005
In this game, the child will have to do nothing but come up with a sequence of tasks like the Tower of Hanoi.
That is, for example, the final picture that the player should receive and a certain number of moves for this will be given. Thanks to a user-friendly interface (albeit presented only in English), which even a kid can understand, the process captures from the first minutes.
Over time, the difficulty increases, the tasks become much more difficult (there are 36 in total in the main series and 4 in the secret one). There are loops (“Take boxes until they run out”, for example), branching statements (“Take only red boxes”), and even similar functions. Such algorithms are far from the most complex programs, but children will be able to feel like full-fledged programmers. nine0005
Does the child spend too much time in front of the iPad watching videos of advanced developers creating large-scale projects and dreaming that one day they will become part of this “elitist” society? It's time to show him Hopsctoch - an analogue of Scratch, only a mobile version designed for children from 8 years old.
The free application, in addition to clear and extensive functionality, allows the child to express themselves in all game components. A “programmer” can create code for a unique application that is complex or detailed. "Artist" will show all the drawing skills on the characters and the environment. Even a “Sound Engineer” can record specific sounds to make a project unique. The only limitation is only the imagination of the creator! nine0005
Not only games are created in this application. People learn how to draw small flash cartoons and then share them in the official community. In addition to the fact that children will learn from the inside the process of working professionals, they will get a huge dose of pleasure from the time spent in Hopsctoch. The only negative is the lack of the Russian language. But the developers said that in the future they would add it specifically for the audience from Russia.
The long-awaited Swift programming language learning app is finally here in the App Store! Fortunately for many parents, it is completely free, but requires at least basic knowledge of the English language.
Of course, the presence of free “sand” modes erases this limitation, but in order to fully plunge into this environment, it is worth opening the tutorial. nine0005
The child will have to create a virtual friend of Byte, choose his appearance and then carry out experiments with him. Previously sounded information about the "sand" modes. In addition to them, there is a tutorial that walks you through the main points that Swift developers face, as well as peculiar lessons - challenges (make a character jump onto a ledge in 5 commands).
Many preschool children do not want to learn new material from boring textbooks. It is for them that this free application was invented - thanks to its bright design and recognizable characters, it attracts attention and makes you immerse yourself in yourself. nine0005
In addition to the fact that it includes some of the gameplay from the famous Minecraft, there is a truly huge number of courses to choose from.
It all starts with the basics of the growing popularity of the Python language and ends with the professional writing of exciting scripts. For each of the “lectures”, the developers have set appropriate age limits, starting at 5 years old, so that children can assess whether they will understand
Google decided to keep up with the opportunity to teach children the promising JavaScript programming language from scratch and added this free application to the store. Using clear visual examples, it teaches children to think logically, using the available blocks to compose a full-fledged algorithm for solving problems of various levels. nine0005
The Grasshopper will be the faithful companion and teacher of the player in this application. Unfortunately, he can only speak English, which can cause some problems with the assimilation of the material covered, but the problem is easily solved by having a built-in translator or a parent who has some initial knowledge in this area.
Sometimes it seems that games that can teach a child the basics of algorithmization cannot surprise. Basically, they and, indeed, all are similar to each other - only the characters and the complexity of the tasks differ. More precisely, how quickly the child will be allowed to create complex programs. nine0005
However, SpriteBox exploded all previously built stereotypes. The developers, in addition to the fact that they managed to create a good platformer, they also added programming elements to it. In difficult situations, “friends” are called in and they are given a set of commands to solve. Initially, a full package of levels is available, but the game itself is in English.
This application is simplified as much as possible when compared to age-appropriate counterparts. Instead of an abundance of operators, there are five control buttons, with the help of which an algorithm and a launch panel are compiled. It seems that a child of 4-5 years old will be able to quite calmly deal with the proposed tasks on their own.
nine0005
However, do not think that they will be simple, as for babies. Behind the simplicity of creation and the colorfulness of what is happening, well-designed tests are hidden, the passage of each of which will make it possible for the player to understand certain components of the program in a playful way: a cycle, a condition, and even a semblance of a function.
A new project from the well-known developers Hopscotch Technologies promises not only to maintain the pace of learning, but also to expand the target audience. This game will be able to play and understand even the smallest children, who first took the tablet in the palm of their hand. nine0005
They have to help cute dinosaur Daisy, a character from some English fairy tales, in his book adventures. There are a dozen courses that differ not only in complexity, but also in the areas of programming covered. Presented in English. The gameplay is more like Scratch, which is why this application can be called its next adaptation.
A large number of parents wonder how to get their child interested in programming. The most effective solution is to give teachers in the form of favorite characters. Robots are suitable for boys, for example, princesses are for girls. Or they turn to the heroes of the cartoons they like - you never know what is now on the screens. nine0005
This application freed parents from thinking - included topics of interest to children in one game, gave specifications on the field of study. The only negative is that the project is only available in English and Spanish. However, this fact pales before the innovative innovation - 3D-mode!
Psychologists say that a child learns information better if it is told by a parent. That is, for many creators of games about programming, the task was to make not only an educational project, but also an exciting one, interesting even for “internal” whims. nine0005
A good example is this application, which allows adults and children to sit down for a long time to solve various logical puzzles.
In the 3D world of boxes, there are quite a few of them! But only the first 10 levels are available for free - you will have to pay for the rest in accordance with the tariffs. The question is, parents are needed only to pay for the next game? No. This service is presented in English, so you will also need to explain to the child what is required of him. nine0005
There are so many variations of programming games on the Internet! Fighting customizable robots, driving submissive characters, solving puzzles, but could anyone imagine racing coding? It sounds strange, but if you look closely at this project, everything becomes very simple.
With the help of special algorithms, the child will have to control the racing car, tacking between obstacles and avoiding rivals. Despite the fact that it will be impossible to compete with time, the excitement will not leave the player until the very end of the levels. Suitable for younger children because of the simplified interface - icons.
