We started using Reading Eggs about a year ago and it has completely taught my 6 year old to read. Aside from reading books to him, this program is all we have used (one lesson a day) and it has exceeded all of my expectations. We also use the Math Seeds program and it's pretty awesome, as well =) Plus, it's only $60 for a whole year worth of access!
I have used this site with my kids for teaching them how to read. While the cost is a bit pricey for the average family (hence my dropping the score) I do still find it a great value. I've tried multiple other reading sites with my three kids, ages 3,4, and 5. My 5 year old has Autism and it is very hard to find sites that meet his needs, but he loves this site so much he chooses "playing" on it to his TV time, which means he gets to learn and have fun at the same time.
What is great is that it's great for kids who can't read yet. It really brings the child along on the whole reading experience, working on letters (lowercase and capital) sight words, and eventually how to sound out words and read. My four year old is an advanced reader for her age and loves this site as well, but because they offer basic level reading, even my 3 year old can use the site and have fun.
Not only will your child learn reading, but they will learn value as well. Each time you complete a lesson, you get golden eggs. The golden eggs can be spent in the arcade, or you can spend them on items to decorate your "house" with.
We're tried a lot of other sites. Some free. I gladly pay for this one. The quality is exceptional, the value is great. I only wish it was a more affordable option so that more children would be able to use it.
I paid £49.99 for one year new subscription and I checked my son finished all of them early and they refund my money then they said I can have a new one if I subscribed.
Answer: My six year old has been doing one lesson per day for about a year and he can read now. He barely knew his letter sounds when we started so I thought it was going to take much longer. Pleasantly surprised with our results!
Answer: Completely legit! We use it as part of our homeschool curriculum and I'm very happy with it.
Answer: Pretty easy! I've only had to email them once but they responded within 12 hours.
Answer: I'm not sure when the site was last updated but you can sign up for a 2 week free trial via their site. After the trial, I went ahead and purchased a full year but you can also do a monthly subscription for $10/mo
Answer: I paid $60 for a full year that includes the reading, spelling, and math programs.
