Abstract
This paper investigates parental engagement with videos within the mobile app Top Parent in lower-income families in India, focusing on the relationship between parental engagement and students' learning progress. The app provides educational content in local languages for both parents and children (aged 3 to 8), aiming to improve foundational literacy and numeracy skills. Our analysis of data from 1,451 learners shows a positive link between parents watching educational videos and their children's academic performance and learning progress within the app. We also find that parents who watch videos have children who start the app with more initial knowledge than their peers. These results highlight the app's potential to support educational equity by engaging parents in their children's learning process.
