Age Recommendations

ℹ️Ages 3-5
Recommended — excellent introduction to letters, numbers, songs, and simple interactive stories. Use in short, supervised sessions and participate alongside your child.
ℹ️Ages 6-8
Recommended with guidance — good reinforcement for early readers and 1st–2nd grade skills; encourage off-screen activities and use teacher/parent tools to assign appropriate-level lessons.
ℹ️Ages 9-12
Not targeted — content is for early elementary (2–8). Older children may find material too basic; consider other Khan Academy offerings for older grades.
ℹ️Ages 13-15
Not recommended — app content is aimed at preschool/early elementary; teens should use core Khan Academy resources instead.
ℹ️Ages 16-18
Not recommended — not appropriate for this age group's learning level; use full Khan Academy site for secondary subjects.
