Reading Eggs

The Reading Eggs website (https://readingeggs.com) is another effective literacy website that I have done a review on. It is a reading website of resources for teaching kids how to read. From curriculum for teachers, to tips for parents, you may find resources on this website.

A program on the website is called the ABC Reading eggs provides variety of phonemic awareness activities that immerse young readers in nursery rhymes, listening skills, sound play an alphabet books. The ABC Reading eggs program uses a number of strategies to increase reading fluency. It models fluent reading of all books, encourages the rereading of a text and uses a number of activities that increase reading comprehensions. It also provides focused literacy skill lessons that cover the three core skills which are spelling, grammar and vocabulary. There is software that uses the comprehension levels which are discussed on the comprehension part to help students both develop and be able to assess their reading comprehension.

There is an article of the phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, and vocabulary, comprehension which explained by the authors that reading can be taught and effectively learned when instruction is given in a structured, programmatic way. There is wide variety of activities of each topic that comprised of teaching reading effectively.

For the ones teaching 1^st graders to 3^rd graders, this website is for you as you modify your reading lessons. I highly recommend you to visit this website for resources of teaching reading in your classes effectively and with the activities provided to engage the learners in the love of reading. There is more to what I have preview to us about the Reading Eggs website. If you visit the website, there are also links to variety of activities that will surely engage our kids to love reading.

I would like to give credits to the authors/owner of this website for providing us the resources we need when teaching and understanding reading.
