Google Bolo
This is my li'l reading genius son's current favourite app. It makes kids read small stories aloud and corrects them when they go wrong. Made for the Indian market, it lets you choose the language of instruction.

Born Smart
This is the perfect time to download the app because it shows parents how they can play with their children (0-36 months) with whatever material is available at home. At the end of each video, an expert speaks of the benefit of the game.

5-Min Craft

Their USP is the fun curation, and it's addictive to watch their videos.
