HOMER: Fun Learning For Kids
Learn ABC, Numbers & Feelings
Homer keeps kids engaged and growing through phonics games, songs, math activities, stickers and read-along audiobooks such as Harold and the Purple Crayon and Where the Wild Things Are. The app’s content themes are updated seasonally to keep the material fresh and timely.
What we love: Its tailored approach. Parents start with a brief quiz about their child’s learning level, which generates a custom literacy-learning track that introduces new concepts at just the right time.
Quick tip: Create up to four profiles per account so each of your kids can have their own learning track. Use the parent dashboard to track every child’s progress so you can make adjustments to their learning levels and keep content on target.
Meet the creator: Developed by learning experts, Homer is built on a four-step research-based approach that goes beyond rote memorisation to build confidence, promote problem-solving and foster a lifelong love of learning. Homer was originally launched as a learn-to-read app, but in 2020 it expanded to cover more skills including math, creativity and social-emotional learning.
