Reading Kingdom ~ A Review

Reading Kingdom is an online program that teaches children ages 4-10 how to read and write with comprehension at a 3rd grade level (Lexile 750). 

Reading Kingdom teaches 6 main skills which include:

1. Sequencing
2. Motor Skills
3. Sounds
4. Meaning
5. Grammar
6. Comprehension

It is recommended that your child log in and work 4 days a week. Depending on your child's ability lessons will take approximately 15-30 minutes a day. That may seem like a wide range but depending on the child it will greatly vary. Some kiddos will grasp onto the material and blast through lessons at lightening speed while others may struggle and need much more time. What is great about the program is that it isn't a competition to keep up with anyone else. Reading Kingdom is about each individual child. 

Reading Kingdom is designed in a way that after your child takes their placement test the program automatically is designed to take advantages of a students strengths and help them overcome their weaknesses. Why is this so very important? The program takes out the stuff that your child already knows which then speeds up their progress and gets them ahead. Each of the 5 levels within Reading Kingdom has an assessment at the end of each level to ensure that the student has mastered the material in each level before moving on. 

As a parent you are able to access your child's Reading/Writing level at any time via a password protected link. If you feel that the material is too easy or too hard for your child you can move your child up or down. There is also an option to increase or decrease response time. The program automatically keeps track of your child's progress. 

My daughter who is in the 4th grade was at a higher reading level than what this program offered. Therefore, it was not a great fit for her. With that said she worked through the last level of the program to give her opinion as to what she thought about it and this is what she had to say, "I think that Reading Kingdom is a pretty neat program. Kids get to read, type, and so much more. You have to remember stories and fill-in-the-blanks. The animated stuff is kind of cool. I think I would have really liked Reading Kingdom when I was younger." 

Overall, I think Reading Kingdom is a pretty good program. I would recommend it to others as a enrichment program.
