Community reviews for Reading Eggs

This is a great tool, particularly for young learners. My youngest learner loves using the program and is flying through the levels. I am seeing a huge improvement in the way he responds to the lessons on screen and verbalises the responses as he moves through the levels. The underlying egg earning encourages him to complete more levels. My older learner is fixated on the egg earning and has come up with ways to work around this as eggs are harder to achieve at the higher levels it has forced her to looks for ways to attain access to games and furnishings without putting in the level of work the game requires. I think the game may need to do some work in the area as it is discouraging for older players since the items they want are expensive compared to their earning capability when compared to the younger childrens version. (common sense review seems out of date).

This program is highly engaging for students because it has a great incentive program. Additionally all of the activities in the program are either content based or executive functioning based. Students develop crucial literacy skills at their level after the given pretest spanning all areas of literacy. Additionally there is a massive digital library and resources for whole class and small group teaching. Students can utilize games and other features with the "golden eggs" they have earned through lessons or reading books and all of the games either practice literacy skills or develop other cognitive skills such as problem solving or navigation. The program also has very detailed reports on what the students have used and their achievement on specific skills.

I am very much a supporter of this tool to engage kids to learn the concepts presented in this site. Their school pricing is very reasonable, and it gives teachers an opportunity to let kids settle into an activity and integrate it into their classroom as either a whole class activity on laptops or iPads, set up stations, or work with learning specialists to work individually with students.

I absolutely love Reading Eggs. It is great for students 3 years old to 13 years old. It was easy to use as part of my centers, but other students would ask to be able to go on in their free time! That is how I know they really enjoyed it! Some even wanted to stay in during recess to access it! Therefore, I started to also use it as their incentive in the classroom.
