Learn with Homer (Free, with subscription-based content)

Brand new app developed by the former head of the New York City Public School Fund and somebody who contributed to writing the Common Core Standard for English and Language. This app teaches foundational reading skills to toddlers with minimal literacy skills. Rather than using rote learning and memorization, the app has read-along stories, field trips, and parent assessment tools to track progress.
