Foundational reading and numeracy
Purpose: Practice and diagnosis
Where it fits: Daily stations, homework fluency
Educational tools are more than a list of apps. They include age-appropriate manipulative kits, adaptive software, AI-safe study aids, low-tech routines, and state platforms that carry board-aligned content. In India, DIKSHA and PM e-VIDYA give schools free, curriculum-linked resources that work online and on TV, which support reach across contexts. NEP 2020 also places clear emphasis on 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication. When leaders choose tools that map to these goals, classroom practice improves measurably.
Use this overview to match a need with the right category. Keep one or two tools per need to avoid overload.

NatureNurture curates tool-kits by grade band and subject, then maps them to clear lesson intents. Schools get a practical bundle that blends kits, apps, and routines, aligned with CBSE or state boards and supported by teacher training. We also connect classes to trusted platforms such as DIKSHA to anchor content to Indian curricula, while our maker pathway brings STEM educational tools for primary students into weekly practice. Because we work as a pedagogy partner, not just a vendor, implementation support and coaching sit alongside any product list.
Track three simple indicators each term: engagement (attendance, task completion), mastery (formative checks), and inclusion (tool access for every learner). Professional bodies highlight that high-value tools deepen inquiry and creation, not just drill. Use assistive technology principles to remove barriers for learners who need alternate input or output. Combine these with state initiatives such as smart classroom design and tablets to narrow rural-urban gaps while sustaining quality.
