A site of learning games, videos, worksheets and quizzes for preschool to grade 5, covering math, reading, grammar, science and typing. Kids pick a grade and topic and play short games; free play shows ads. A paid family membership removes ads, adds up to five child profiles with progress tracking and adaptive quizzes, and includes the EagerTots and TypingBee apps.
Our take: A budget-friendly practice site for K-5; many families will find free, ad-free alternatives good enough.
