Reading Eggs - Learn to Read

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that Reading Eggs - Learn to Read is a massive, subscription-based program designed to lead kids through the learning-to-read journey from pre-literacy to middle school. There's also a smaller, side set of math activities that focuses on concepts for preschool and elementary school-age kids. All in all, the age range best suited to Reading Eggs - Learn to Read's material is preschool to elementary school. Parents need to sign up with their name and email address, and then provide a name (or nickname) and year of birth for each registered kid. The reading program is divided into three areas: prereaders, beginning readers, and continuing readers. Reading activities span a wide range of books, videos and songs, and interactive games. The continuing reader section includes a game center where kids can choose to be matched against other registered kids in playing reading games. Kids earn eggs and prizes for completing activities, which they can then spend on their avatar. At any time, kids can access a library of Lexile-leveled digital books. Parents can view progress reports and print paper worksheets that accompany the various lessons. The app is free to download but requires a subscription at $9.99/month per child and $4.99/month for each additional child; a 30-day free trial lets you try it out before purchasing.
