Spreading the love of reading can be
tough when kids would rather pick up a
tablet than a book. That's where Raz-Kids
swoops in. This award-winning app is
one of the best online reading programs
for students in kindergarten through
fifth grade. Kids can practice reading
from more than 400 e-books at 29 differ-
ent difficulty levels.
Personalized learning is key with the free
Khan Academy app. This non-profit orga-
nization provides lots of free education-
al exercises, videos and a personalized
dashboard for your child's learning so
your kids can study a variety of subjects
at their own pace.
Another teacher favorite
is Lexia Core 5, an app
that specializes in helping
students read and spell
at their own pace, while
developing their skills.
It also provides teachers
with vital information that
identifies problem areas.
