We’re launching 2021 with a colorful addition of books and lessons in the Khan Academy Kids Library. Dinosaur lovers, shark enthusiasts, and Kodi fans will be delighted with the new titles. Plus, animal characters like Crocodile, Narwhal, and Snow Monkey will greet little learners in stories with social-emotional themes.
Growing learners who are ready for a challenge can dive into 2nd grade lessons with word problems, reading comprehension, units of measurement, and more. Teachers can assign these lessons to their students with our Teacher Tools. Keep reading to discover the highlights of our latest app update.
Open the Library to see what's new!
Open Khan Academy Kids and head to the purple book icon on the home screen to access the Library. New activities for second graders are available in the 123, Reading, and Logic+ tabs. There, kids will find lessons to practice word problems, equations, sight words, spelling rules, shapes, time, and measurement.
In the Books section, head to New Non-Fiction to read about dinosaurs, ocean life, and the world’s continents
The Books tab is on the far left side of the app's Library. Scroll down to see all of the new non-fiction material from our friends at Bellwether Media. Kids can travel through time to read about dinosaurs like the stegosaurus and diplodocus. Then, they can take a deep dive with the humpback whale and learn fascinating facts about all seven continents.
