ReadIng eggs? Worth it or not?

[SomebodySaveMe]

Me and DS (3) have been playing around on reading eggs today. He's really enjoying the little games and we got a 14 day trial. He's got through 8 levels today, his own choice I'm not forcing him, but I'd like to know if it's worth subscribing once the trial is up? Does anyone use it and find it worthwhile?

We use it and DD1 loves it. She is 3.5 and now reading quite fluently, reading Eggs was great for reinforcing sight words such as the and was etc. She loves the characters at the end of each lesson and likes to look at their critter cards and hear the songs. Well worth the money in my opinion.

Oh that's good to hear. He's really enjoying it unless there's a tiger option as they are his favourite thing he selects them for every letter
I'll convince DP I need to pay for it once the trials up.

Hi. My DD started reading eggs some months ago. I too was testing the free trial and she was on to it every day. I intact had to limit her time on it! It's a great tool. However, she is now on level 42 and
Kind if bored With it. So in 3 months, she
has gone from not knowing her alphabets to reading words. However, she won't read
from books the same words. for the past 2 months she has not been interested in this program so I have not pushed. She starts school in sep. however, she is now Internet of her own accord to learn how to write. I let her do what she wants to but it is a good tool. We were in it again today and we did 1 lesson and she was bored with it so I did not push.

Out of interest, DD can already read quite a bit - she's only 3.2 but reads books including words like 'collecting', 'submarine' and so on. Is it worth it or would she be too far ahead?

There are lots of levels to reading eggs. I think it caters for your dds talents too. Why don't u google for a free trial and see? If my dd could read as well as urs, I may not bother with reading eggs. But please do not go on my opinion. Take a trial and find out.

Thanks - I registered for the free trial yesterday. She did the test and started at level 61. smartarse! She enjoyed it although her mouse skills (on a laptop mousepad) weren't good enough really but she pointed at the words and I clicked on them because she was getting so frustrated. We only did one level and then she lost interest, but there were 12 games so I was impressed she lasted so well!

galena my dd is on level 43 or thereabouts. Those levels open up a lot 'fun' stuff like music cafe, drawing etc. don't think mouse control is important. Mine struggled for a bit and I did the same as you. But now she us as good as me! It's the comprehension that important.its a great tool isn't it?

Hi my ds 4 loves reading eggs he has had it about 6 months and can read quite well. Hth
