What skills can Reading Eggs cover in my homeschool reading programme?

Reading Eggs instructs homeschoolers in the five essential components of reading instruction, which include:

– Phonemic awareness – children learn the necessary listening skills to become aware that speech is made up of sounds and that these sounds make words, syllables and phonemes. – Phonics – each letter of the alphabet is introduced in its own lesson with a focus on reinforcing letter‑sound relationships and highlighting the alphabetic principle.

– Fluency – children develop the rapid word recognition skills essential for reading fluency, including learning to instantly recall crucial sight words that make up 50% of primary level books. – Vocabulary – new words are introduced with visual support to provide context and increase word knowledge and retention. – Comprehension – reading for meaning is the end goal of Reading Eggs. The programme includes over 3000 e‑books, each with their own comprehension quiz.

There are four separate reading programmes included in a Reading Eggs subscription:

– Reading Eggs Junior for ages 2⁠–⁠4 – Reading Eggs for ages 3⁠–⁠7 – Fast Phonics for ages 5⁠–⁠10 – Reading Eggspress for ages 7⁠–⁠13
