Get started with Khan Academy Kids in 5 easy steps. If you are a school or district administrator who would like to implement Khan Academy Kids at your school or district, please reach out to us at khankidspartners@khanacademy.org
Step 1: Create a Class Account.
Step 2: Show students & families how to join your Class Account.
Step 3: Start assigning lessons.
Step 4: Use progress reports to make data-informed decisions.
Step 1: Create a Class Account.
Creating an account is 100% free. Get started by downloading the free app on a mobile device (e.g., smartphone, tablet, or Chromebook). When you open the app, tap At School, select Teacher, and then create your account. Click here for more information about setting up a new account.
Please note that your account will come with a unique Class Code, which is what students will use to sign in. Students don’t need to create an account and do not need to enter their email address into the app at any point.
Khan Academy Kids is now compatible with Clever. If your school uses Clever, read this article to learn how to access Khan Kids with your Clever account. With Clever, your class will be rostered automatically and students can access the app through the Clever Portal.
Step 2: Show students & families how to join your Class Account.
Students and families can join your Class Account with your Class Code or by signing in via Clever. Students do not need to make their own account or enter their email address at any point.
You may be wondering where you can find your Class Code. It's in your Teacher Settings!

Step 3: Start assigning lessons.
Assigning lessons is a great way to focus students’ time in the Khan Kids app. We’ve made it easy for you to find lessons to reinforce key skills that you’re teaching in class. When you assign lessons, students will see a ❤️ that indicates new assignments are waiting for them.
There are three easy ways to find lessons to assign to your students:
1. Browse the Library. Tap the tabs across the top of the screen—Letters, Reading, Math, Logic+, Books, and Videos—to find lessons for each letter of the alphabet, for numbers 1-20+, patterning, sight words, phonemes, shapes, word problems, and so much more. Tap directly on any lesson thumbnail to assign.
2. Assign from the Class Report. Go to the Students tab and select Class Reports: All Progress. Lessons are listed on the left side. Open each section until you see options for Main, Practice, and Basic. From there, you can tap to assign to students!
3. Go to the Search tab to find lessons by standard. There will be a dropdown menu. Use it to select the set of standards that is applicable to you. Continue progressing through the menu until you find the standard you’re looking for. If you would like to see a larger grouping of standards, you can select the (ALL) option from the dropdown menu. Tap directly on any lesson thumbnail to assign.
💡 TIP! Differentiate your assignments
We’ve built features to make it easy for you to differentiate lessons for your students. Any time an assignment is created, it can be sent to the whole class, to an individual student, or to a small group.
Additionally, we’ve made our path to learning visible to teachers. Lessons are clearly labeled according to their level: Main, Practice 1, Practice 2, and Basic. Start by assigning the Main lesson, and then assign the Basic version to students who need extra support, and Practice lessons to students who are ready for a challenge.
|
Main All students should start here. |
Practice 1 Assign after mastering the Main lesson. |
Practice 2 Assign after mastering the Practice 1 lesson. |
Basic Assign if students need support. |
Step 4: Use progress reports to make data-informed decisions.
Our progress reports are designed to give you information about your students quickly and accurately. Access progress reports from the Students tab in your teacher view and then select Class Reports.
If you prefer an at-a-glance view of the lessons you’ve assigned, who has completed them, and the scores they received, check out the Assignments report. If you prefer to have a comprehensive view of students’ overall progression in a subject area, head over to the All Progress report. This report combines data from assignments, the Learning Path, and the Library, providing a full overview of student progress so that you can easily identify learning needs.
Here’s what you can do with our in-depth progress reports:
- Assign, edit, and preview lessons directly from the report
- See students’ score history on each lesson
- Quickly see how far students have progressed to each domain
- Identify students who have not completed assignments
- Email reports to your desktop computer for easy viewing
- Email individual student reports to parents
