The App That Kickstarts School Confidence- A Parents Review
As the parent to a preschooler and toddler, I know firsthand how important it is to help your child learn the basic skills they need to be successful as they grow. We let Georgia use a tablet for long drives, and started to explore the option of adding in educational software to let her have a little fun at home with it too. We decided to start using Homer Learn & Grow.
This Homer app review is based on our own family’s experience using it. If you’re wondering if it might be a good fit for your own kids and their learning needs, read on!
What is Homer Learn & Grow?
HOMER Learn & Grow (sometimes referred to as the Homer reading app) is an early learning app for kids age 2 to 8. It focuses on literacy, math, social-emotional learning and more through fun “games” and play-based learning activities.
Your kids can choose between stories, songs, drawing, puzzles and more traditional phonics and logic activities too. They are prompted by the app with clear, easy to understand verbal instructions.
You are also able to set up individual learning profiles for each of your children, with up to 4 profiles included with each account. The profiles are adaptive and create individualized paths for each child, suggesting learning activities based on your child’s interest and progress.
Learn With Homer Review
After using HOMER Learn & Grow for the past few weeks, I am really impressed. I love that you can create individual learning profiles for each child. This means that their progress is tracked and the app adapts and creates individual learning paths for each of them!
I also like that there is a parent dashboard that allows me to keep track of the progress they are making and change settings if needed.
When it comes to the actual educational app, Georgia is able to have complete control over what activities she wants to do. I love how this gives her a sense of independence, but also means that I can use that time to get a little work (or another load of never-ending laundry) done.
The app is beautifully designed and keeps their attention. I love listening to her excited giggles when she makes it to the next level of an activity! It takes into account your child’s age and skill level, and tailors the available activities based on continuing to move their skills forward.
I also really like that it offers easy cross-device accessibility, meaning we can log in from a computer, my phone (or any mobile device), or a different tablet, and be right back to where we left off. This means that in a pinch she can play on my phone if we are at a restaurant and the food is taking forever and she’s starting to get a little hangry. All you need is an internet connection!
The interactive lessons are truly a fun way for younger children to practice and learn their letters, the basics of reading, math and more as they work through their personalized learning journey.

It’s a terrific tool to help reinforce the work you’re already doing with your child on numbers, letters, sounds, reading and social skills. Your kids will be having so much fun that they won’t even realize they’re actually working their brains! The playful learning activities have been so fun to work through, and I love seeing Georgia’s excitement about learning.
