ABCmouse requires an active internet connection to access learning activities, games, and other interactive content. The program does not offer an offline mode for use without Wi-Fi or data. This article explains why an internet connection is necessary, what content requires online access, and suggests alternative options—like ReadingIQ or ABCmouse printables—that support offline learning.
As the most comprehensive and trusted digital learning program for children ages 2 to 8, ABCmouse Early Learning Academy is 100% web- and app-based and does require internet access. However, we do offer resources to encourage children in and out of school to continue their important early learning offline as well as online.
ABCmouse offers thousands of Printable learning activities (for classroom and home use), and Logic Puzzles and a Classroom Collection for teachers. ABCmouse Workbooks, which can be purchased at major retailers, offer even more offline learning opportunities.
In this article, we’ll walk you through all the offline ABCmouse resources that are available for you and your family when you’re without internet access.
