Designed for 3 to 7 year olds, Reading Eggs provides a comprehensive program of 120 reading lessons, 96 spelling lessons and 20 comprehension lessons that cater to children who are new to reading, as well as those who already know the basics.

Reading Eggs was created to make a real difference at home with a progressive sequence of interactive lessons combined with reading books and activity books. We’ve made it as easy as possible for children to learn the many core literacy skills they need to learn to read.

Children learn the core literacy skills needed to be successful at school with one-on-one lessons that children complete at their own pace. The game-like activities, vibrant animations, cute characters, fun sound effects and catchy songs keep children motivated to learn.
