Why parents love our virtual reading program
“I just wanted to let you know how absolutely fantastic your program is. My son is 4 and was expressing anxiety and reluctance to attend school because he said the reading was “too hard”. We began him on Reading Eggs and the difference has been amazing. He is now so much more confident and happy about learning.”
Dr D. Joseph
“I absolutely love Reading Eggs. [My son] is only just 4 and he is doing so well with his reading. I never thought it possible to be honest! He loves it too. The first thing he says in the morning is 'Can we do Reading Eggs please?'”
Della
“I just wanted to let you know that since using Reading Eggs, my son's reading at school has gone up three levels. He was having some trouble with new words but now shows confidence in sounding them out and giving it a go. My daughter is nearly 5 and will start preschool next year, and she also loves Reading Eggs.”
Bev
“This program is CLEVER! My son, who had zero interest in sitting down to learn how to read, was excited to play the game. He loved the songs and watching to see what crazy creature would hatch from his eggs. The learning games are solid; they do all the things a great reading instructor would do but with excellent graphics.”
Cynthia, Homeschooler
“My children love Reading Eggs. They enjoy learning to read and spell with the lessons. My son struggled with other phonics programs. But he loved Reading Eggs. Opening a new egg after each lesson kept him motivated to finish the program. My daughter loved the Skills Bank part of the program. She was glad Reading Eggs had a spelling section.”
L. Taylor
“The educational aspects of this course are fantastic – the content matches what the kids are doing / would do at school. My 4 yr old son taught himself to read with Reading Eggs during lockdown while his sister was doing schoolwork with me. He loves the new Fast Phonics area.”
