Reading Eggs ~ A Review

Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way.

We have been using Reading Eggs from Blake eLearning Inc over the past weeks. Reading Eggs is an online, self-paced, phonics based reading program for children. If you have multiple children using the program each child will receive their own special log-in. There are 4 levels to the program: Reading Eggs Jr (ages 2-4), Reading Eggs (ages 3-7), Fast Phonics (ages 5-10), and Reading Eggspress (ages 7-13). The subscription all gives you access to Math Seeds. There are three pricing options. There is a Family Plan for 2-4 children with all access, a 12 month all access subscription for 1 child, and then a monthly all access subscription option. 

So how does READING EGGS teach your child to learn to read?

1. Children learn reading and phonic skills through the use of animated lessons that keep your child focused and engaged. 
2. As your child learns to read they will be introduced to books using the words that they have mastered in their lessons. 
3. All children love rewards! Reading Eggs uses "Golden Eggs" as their reward system. With Golden Eggs the children can buy games or items for their avatar or house. Upon completion of each section or "map" your child is awarded a certificate that can be printed out. 
4. Quizzes are given after 10 lessons so that you can assess how your child is doing in the program. 

The Spelling section of Reading Eggs goes from K-2nd grade. Here is a link to the Skills Bank Spelling Section which shows all 96 lessons and the Focus Sound Words, High Fluency Sight Words, and the Challenge Words. 

Stepping Stones Reading which is also a part of the Reading Eggs program builds phonemic awareness and phonics, sight words, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension. There are 3 levels and 120 lessons. 

Storylands which is new is a Clinker Castle book series. Here is more Reading Eggs Storylands information about this now addition. 

Reading Eggs Jr. is an amazing program that provides young children with the essential building block foundations of reading. We are excited about how James, who is 4 years old,  has done with the program so far. He has learned so much in such this short time. He thinks he is just playing on the computer not realizing he is actually learning. He asks every morning to do Reading Eggs before any other of his school activities. We are happy about this. 

Also, part of the classic Reading Eggs program is Reading Eggs Junior for ages 2-4 with fun games to help introduce your young child to the alphabet and pre-reading skills. There is also Reading Eggspress for ages 7-13 that helps the older child build confidence in their reading skills. My 12 year old daughter has been working on Reading Eggspress. 

Here is the dashboard for Reading Eggspress. Lessons in this program are tied to 

books of varying genres. You student will work on concepts such as reading

comprehension, grammar, spelling, and vocabulary. There are quizzes and tests 

that they must pass at a certain level in order to move onto the next level. They may 

retake quizzes and tests over if needed. 

This is the English Skills section. 

This is the Library. 

This is one of the books entitled, Modern Wonders. 

After each chapter there are quizzes to test your child's comprehension of the material they 

have read. 

This is the Arcade. 

Another program that is a part of Reading Eggs is Fast Phonics. Your child will enter into 

Yeti world where they will meet a friendly Yeti and work through mountain peaks

and earn coins. With these coins they can swap out for different colored Yeti's. 

This program is a great way for younger children to learn their letters, their 

sounds and learn to read basic readers. There are 20 levels to the program 

including skills such as letter-sound recognition, blending, and spelling. 

I overall am very impressed with Reading Eggs and would definitely recommend this program to others. Be sure to check out what my fellow Crew Members had to say about Reading Eggs.
