My absolute favorite reading app, and I have tried a lot. It is made for parent and child to do together, and that interaction is where I saw real growth. It is completely scripted, so there is no prep. We used it alongside our curriculum about three times a week.

A fun supplement to whatever reading curriculum you use (it is not meant to be a full curriculum). I like the app because there are no pop-ups or stray websites, and I could not find a limit on how many kids can use it, which is great for big families.

Great for most kids, and my older kids could not game their way through it. It adds up because it is priced per subject and per child, so look at the bundles or wait for their Black Friday sale. It was not the right fit for my oldest, whose needs are more complex.

My younger kids' top pick right now. We pair the Your Story Hour dramas and the Heroes biographies with our history, use the Seeds songs for Bible memory, and it is perfect for independent time while I work with a sibling, at lunch or in the car.

My husband and I use the membership credits for longer books, but for the kids we buy cheap or free classics without a subscription.

One of my favorite free apps. My kids are constantly listening to podcasts.

Our replacement for Spelling City. My kids take one spelling quiz in the app every day, and then they can play one of the fun games. It works with All About Spelling, CLE or whatever you use.

We use it almost every day for building words, spelling and marking syllables, at the table, on our Cozyla calendar and in waiting rooms. My kids play with it on their own after lessons, too.

Not a curriculum, just math fact practice. My kids do five minutes after their math lesson. They love the challenge without the stress of a timed test.

The first math facts app I found that spans kindergarten to high school, and it is easy to adjust what each child practices. Just five minutes a day reinforces their math curriculum.

We use just math and language arts, 10 to 15 minutes a day. I got it for my daughter with special needs: it meets her where she is without feeling babyish, it works on the go at doctor visits, and it is fairly affordable to add more kids.

My three younger ones love it. It is fun without being so game-heavy that they spend more time playing than learning. Bonus tip: Duck Duck Moose, now part of Khan Academy, has more free apps for little ones.

We only used it for supplement and review. It is very easy to use, but a couple of my kids figured out how to get through the games without learning the material, so sit with them if you use it as a main resource. Watch for deals on a full year.

New to our homeschool during my concussion recovery. My kids started with the U.S. states, and after about a month the amount they have learned is fantastic.

A great free way to start coding skills, since our kids will all deal with coding to some extent as the world becomes more technological.

Probably my kids' favorite free app. They draw what they are learning during read-alouds, and one of my sons is making his own comic book.

My teens with dyslexia use it all the time. I have them listen with their ears and follow along with their eyes, which builds stronger connections.

A game changer. Instead of a profile for each child, I made profiles by subject (history, art, science, ASL and a morning playlist) filled with videos I have previewed. Set it up on a phone or tablet to get the approved-only option, and still stay nearby.

I am on there regularly asking questions and getting answers without critical feedback. It is always a supportive place.

Seeing our progress during read-alouds motivates my ADHD brain, and it keeps a record of everything we read. This year my teens have their own accounts.
