Technology is revolutionizing education, breaking down barriers to make learning more accessible, equitable, and personalized. The IXL app is at the forefront of this innovation, offering a family-centered solution that empowers learners to take charge of their academic growth anytime, anywhere.
Every parent wants the best for their child—to keep them on track, help them catch up, or enable them to get ahead. The IXL app is designed with the same care and intention: With more than 17,000 skills in math, English language arts, science, social studies, and Spanish, IXL offers a fun, immersive experience for pre-K through 12th-grade learners. Designed specifically for mobile devices, its innovative features—like a scratchpad for working out problems directly on tablet screens and handwriting recognition allowing students to write math answers with their fingers—make learning intuitive and interactive. Engaging elements, such as virtual rewards and a real-time progress bar, motivate learners to persevere, celebrate their achievements, and strive for new milestones.
IXL meets each learner where they are and inspires them to achieve more. The app’s interactive features, like drag-and-drop activities and graphing, help visual learners to connect with material in meaningful ways. Text-to-speech audio support enables students with dyslexia to work independently without being hindered by reading difficulties. Additionally, Spanish-speaking English language learners (ELLs) can use Spanish language support to make progress in math while building their English proficiency. These tailored tools ensure that every child can succeed, regardless of their starting point.
Understanding mistakes and learning how to correct them are key to building resilience and making meaningful progress. With instructional resources built directly into the IXL app, students can take ownership of their learning, even when teachers or parents are not available. More than 3,700 expert-led math and ELA video tutorials help learners self-remediate, whether they are tackling new skills, reinforcing classroom lessons, or seeking guidance when they’re stuck. Immediate feedback on every question ensures learners understand their mistakes; if they answer incorrectly, IXL provides the correct answer along with a step-by-step explanation so they know exactly how to improve. Additionally, in-skill recommendations and the Recommendations Wall direct students to skills that have been hand-picked to fill their specific knowledge gaps. This personalized approach boosts confidence by encouraging learners to explore and master new concepts at their own pace, with the assurance that every skill aligns with their unique needs.
The IXL app goes beyond practice—it equips families with powerful tools to track progress and target growth. At the heart of this is the IXL Diagnostic, an adaptive assessment proven by research to accurately measure students’ grade-level proficiency and growth in key math and ELA strands. Homeschool families can use the diagnostic to pinpoint their child’s current knowledge levels and identify what they’re ready to learn next. Students can access the Diagnostic arena within the app, giving them a reliable readout of their skill levels and personalized recommendations. These insights help students build self-efficacy while reassuring parents that their child is making meaningful progress.
The app works seamlessly across all major mobile devices and is constantly evolving, with new activities and skills added regularly at no additional cost to make personalized learning accessible to students on the go. Whether at school, at home, or anywhere else, the IXL app gives learners the tools to advance their skills, achieve their goals, and unlock their full potential.
Trusted by over 16 million learners worldwide and backed by more than 75 research studies, IXL is a program families rely on. It encourages children to think critically, solve problems, and explore new concepts. The skills they develop in IXL are applicable throughout their lives, empowering them to face challenges with confidence and curiosity.
