Learning to read is a huge milestone in a child's life. But learning to read doesn't happen as a single event. It starts small with some very basic skills that then build on each other until the child is able to read independently. Some of the very basic skills start with saying the alphabet, identifying the name of the letter with the actual letter, learning the sounds that each letter makes, and then blending the different sounds together.
It's a monumental accomplishment!
When Nicholas was little we had a subscription to Reading Eggs and he loved it. So I was excited when I was asked to review Reading Eggs with Rachel.
Reading Eggs is an online subscription program that teaches reading through interactive animations, games, silly songs, and Golden Egg rewards. It is a great resources for children ages 3-7 who are learning to read.
Rachel is three years old. I'm teaching her about letter identification and letter sounds. We work on these together but I have found Reading Eggs to be a wonderful supplement to what I'm teaching her.
She just loves the silly characters on the screen.
Sam the Ant is currently teaching her about letters but in future lessons he teaches about words and putting words together in sentences. I love that Reading Eggs covers so many levels of reading.
The silly songs just crack Rachel up. She loves to sing along and I often find her singing the songs later to her dolls.
The one hundred lessons in Reading Eggs build on each other. If a child isn't able to correctly work through a lesson, they can continue to work on it until they get it. Then they can "unlock" the next lesson and move forward to learn something new.
There is a map that shows where your child is in their lessons. Rachel loves to see her little avatar move along the path as she progresses through the lessons.
I love that learning takes place in a fun game-like atmosphere that makes Rachel beg to "do school".
