TOS Review - Reading Eggs

Reading Eggs is a website and online program designed to make it fun and interesting for kids learning to read.  It is full of games and activities - and rewards! - to help encourage and motivate kids.



There are four levels in the program:

• a playroom for children 3 and 4 years old who are just starting to read.
• a skill building level for 5-year-olds who have learned some basic reading skills.
• a fun practice area for children 6 and 7 years old, with a simple placement test to get them started at the right level.
• a Reading Eggspress area full of activities and games, where older children can continue to practice their reading skills.

From the website:

We created Reading Eggs as a unique online world where children learn to read. It supports each child’s learning by offering individual, one-on-one lessons that allow children to progress at their own rate.

The program has been developed by a highly experienced team of educational teachers, writers and developers. The Reading Eggs program focuses on a core reading curriculum of phonics and sight words using skills and strategies essential for sustained reading success. It completely supports what children learn at school and will help to improve your child’s results at school. 

Reading Eggs now has 100 big lessons. These 100 lessons are perfect for 4 to 7 year olds who are learning to read.
We are still building more NEW lessons for our older Eggsplorers as part of Reading Eggs World. This world is perfect for 6-8 year olds who already know the basics of reading but who still have much to learn about reading, writing, spelling, and comprehension. This exciting new world has lots of new lessons, a creative story writing factory, new games and will soon have many wonderful new books to read in Storylands. The learning focuses on building reading fluency and comprehension, spelling, vocabulary, and a range of writing skills including grammar and punctuation.
In Reading Eggs World, children have their own house to decorate, a big new shop and an avatar that can walk and travel to many new destinations on Reggie’s bus. Children are able to choose their own adventure from a wide range of activities and places to go.
