Reading Eggs and Mathseeds from Reading Eggs

Reading Eggs and Mathseeds from Reading Eggs is a great way to keep those reading skills sharp for students ages 2-13! We have been using this program for years. This program works on your computer, laptop, tablet or on your mobile device with their new app.

The online, yearly subscription includes access for up to 4 students to:

Mental Minute Drills - designed to practice and master essential math skills of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.This program is based on solid research and focuses on building essential reading skills through phonics, sight words, spelling, vocabulary and comprehension. But, it's so fun - they had no idea they were really learning!

My student has her own dashboard. She can choose to practice skills like spelling, play games and compete against others, complete lessons to earn golden eggs (the reward!), visit the library, see her targets, play games in the arcade or even go "shopping" at the mall.

and, I get detailed progress reports on what she is working on.

My tester has been using the program for the past several years, and loves it! Her lessons are arranged on a "map" that she works through that corresponds to the book she chooses.

A lesson for them covers several key reading skills. There are several different sections that focus on different skills for reading:

Cover Story - they answer questions about the cover of their book.
Dictionary lets them learn new vocabulary with dictionary practices.
Fact or Opinion practices recognizing the difference as they read.
Main Idea & Details and Making Inferences helps them identify key sentences and learn to make inferences from what they are reading. The program offers immediate feedback on answers.
Words in Context helps pinpoint how words are being used.
Reading allows them to read directly from an interactive book. They have plenty of great books to choose from.
The Quiz checks how much they remember. They need to score a minimum level to advance to the next step on their map.

After each section is completed, she earns gold "eggs". These are the currency of the program. The eggs can be used to play games, or go shopping! Of course, this is my tester's favorite part. She loves to decorate her apartment, collect pets & change her avatar...
