Reading is one of my favorite pastime. I remember being a child with my flashlight under my covers reading a book well past my bedtime. As I got older, I used to get grounded from “reading”. It made no sense to me at the time (and still doesn’t). But now having an 11 year old, I see my own tween staying up until 2a.m becuase she couldn’t put down a book!
My son (now 7yrs old) was diagnosed with profound speech delay before he was even 3 years old. My biggest fear was that in was not only hindering his ability to communicate, but that he would have difficulty in school because of his speech. Boy…was I wrong!! The little guy LOVES to read!
I had the opportunity to review a website called ReadingEggs.com. I was very excited especially since school was ending in a week or two at the time. Reading Eggs is an Online Learn to Read Program that makes essential reading skills fun & motivating. Children will learn to read & strengthen their reading skills by songs, games & motivational learning tools like gathering “Golden Eggs” & other rewards that encourages the children to continue reading.
One of my favorite features is that it is not only geared for the preschoolers or slightly older. My 11 year old can also straighten her literacy skills since the program can be as effective for up to 13 year of age.
Signing up is very easy to do. You simply go to www.readingeggs.com. There you can sign up for a free 2 week trail membership. No credit card is required for signing up using the free membership. My son’s favorite part is the arcade! Considering he loves to play video games, I was not surprised.
With the school out for the summer now, my son has been playing everyday. Reading Eggs is keeping him occupied, entertained & most importantly reading for the next few months.
For more information, you can go to the Reading Eggs Website, Facebook or their Twitter to connect with Reading eggs & see what else is in store for your children’s literacy needs.
Make sure to try the trial membership your children will love it!!
