Reading Eggs is a breakthrough in learning to read. Combining book packs with online lessons, children will learn to read while having fun. They will meet lots of fun friends along the way and, after each lesson, will be rewarded with a cute e-toy to add to their very own zoo! They'll never know which critter they're going to get next!
The Reading Eggs lessons reinforce best practice research in how children learn to read. Each lesson focuses on the fundamentals of reading, stressing the skills that make a real difference in a child's reading ability. These include phonemic awareness, letter sounds, high frequency sight words and reading connected text. Every lesson has both an online book and a matching real book in the book pack.
The Reading Eggs program has been developed by a highly experienced team of teachers, educational writers, animators and web developers. It focuses on a core reading curriculum of skills and strategies which are essential for sustained, reading success. It completely supports what children learn at school and will help to improve your child’s results.
