What's Included in Your Subscription

One subscription to Reading Eggs or Reading Eggs Homeschool Max gives you access to all six of our learning programs for up to four children.

Reading Eggs Junior for Ages 2–4

A playful introduction to reading for toddlers and preschoolers. Interactive games build alphabet knowledge, phonemic awareness and early vocabulary: laying the foundation before formal reading begins.

Reading Eggs for Ages 3–7

The core learn-to-read program. 130 sequenced lessons teach phonics, sight words and early reading skills through proven series of lessons designed by experts and backed by science. A placement test matches each child to the right starting level, so learning is always personalised. This is the heart of the suite: where most children begin their reading journey.

Fast Phonics for Ages 5–10

A dedicated systematic synthetic phonics program that works alongside the core Reading Eggs program. Ideal for beginners and older readers who are struggling at school, structured lessons build decoding skills from letter-sound recognition through to blending and spelling.

Reading Eggspress for Ages 7–13

For older readers who've moved past the foundations. Reading Eggspress builds comprehension, grammar, vocabulary and spelling: so your child keeps growing as a reader well beyond the early years.

Mathseeds for Ages 3–9

The maths program in the suite. Mathseeds covers early numeracy, addition, subtraction, patterns, shapes, and problem solving through structured, interactive lessons. Like Reading Eggs, it adapts to your child's level.

Bonus Resources

Plus, access to a library of over 4,000 levelled e-books, 500+ printable worksheets, printable certificates and a family progress dashboard.

Online and offline learning options

Reading Eggs works best as a combination: the online program teaches the lessons, while offline practice reinforces and extends that learning through hands-on activities. Research from Vanderbilt University shows that learning through handwriting creates longer-lasting effects than screen-only learning. That’s why we provide a variety of offline activities so that your child can get the best of both worlds.

Every subscription includes over 500 printable worksheets covering reading, spelling, maths and handwriting, at no extra cost, plus access to an online library of 4,000+ levelled e-books.

For families who love traditional workbooks, the Reading Eggs Bookshop has a wide selection of full-colour reading and maths workbooks organised by grade level. These are designed to reinforce each day's online lesson, build handwriting skills, and provide an offline learning activity your children enjoy doing too. For homeschool families, they also serve as portfolio evidence for assessments and records.
