Online Learning Platform for Students in K-12
Are your kids experiencing the dreaded summer slide? Keep them learning with this comprehensive online learning platform for K-12!
Summer. It’s what kids dream of all year round.
But along with all the swimming, camping, and ice cream comes the inevitable learning slide that many homeschool parents dread.
Why not change that this year? Online learning can keep your kids’ skills sharp and help them start the new homeschool year ahead of the game—all without draining the joy out of your summer.

IXL Online Learning Platform for Students
This summer my daughter has been using the IXL Family Membership: Core Subjects (Yearly Plan) to help her brush up on math (her least favorite subject).
Knowing how much Kiera dislikes math, I thought that IXL might be a good way to reinforce the math concepts that she had learned last year. I totally did NOT expect her to move ahead and learn new things.
So I was shocked when she casually mentioned one day that two fourths were equal to one half, and then went on listing other equivalent fractions. She had learned it all on her own with IXL!
The IXL Family Membership includes a comprehensive curriculum for core subjects:
- Math (pre-K to calculus)
- Language arts (pre-K to 12)
- Science (K to chemistry)
- Social studies (K to civics & government)
If you child is interested in learning Spanish, you can upgrade to include IXL’s Spanish curriculum for a small charge.
Why IXL’s Online Learning Platform Works
1. Engaging Lessons and Games
When you use the IXL online learning platform, there are NO textbooks or worksheets. Instead, students complete lessons and play games online, which makes learning actually seem fun.
My daughter appreciates that IXL doesn’t feel like “doing school.” Instead, she gets to review and learn new skills in an interactive way.
And with 1,300+ video tutorials and 120+ educational games, IXL truly has something for every student.
2. Personalized Learning Experience
One of the things I love most about IXL is that kids aren’t forced into a one-size-fits-all mold. Instead, the learning platform adapts to each student’s level and guides them on what to learn next.
After Kiera worked through IXL’s real-time diagnostics, she was given recommendations of skills to work on. As she completes each recommendation, the system gives her new ones to work on.
I love that I don’t have to decide what lessons to assign—such a timesaver! However, if you’re teaching a specific concept and want to assign extra practice, you can easily do that, too.
3. Independent Learning
Independent learning is important to me as a homeschool mom, because it gives me time to teach the subjects that I need to teach directly. And my kids actually prefer to work on their own as much as possible, too.
The IXL learning platform works extremely well as an independent learning tool. Kiera is able to do everything 100% by herself. If she doesn’t know how to do something, IXL gives her the option to see an example or watch a short video tutorial.
If she gives a wrong answer, she gets immediate feedback so she can correct the mistake. I love that I don’t have anything to correct! IXL does it in real time as she works through the problems.
4. Learn Anywhere
With IXL, you’re not tied down to learning at home. Because we all know that homeschooling doesn’t mean that you can stay home 24/7, right?
IXL works on desktop, tablet, or mobile so kids can learn wherever they are. And all you have to take along is a phone or tablet—no workbook, pencil, or stack of books required.
