Reading Eggs

At our school, all children have a Reading Eggs log in. This is accessible through the use of an ipad or a computer. My classroom has two of each available.

This programme is great as the children can read age appropriate books and then answer comprehension questions about the book. The teacher can assign specific books for reading groups to read. There are also many different word games where the children can practise their letter-sound association skills, high frequency word spelling skills and many more.

Big Books are available and I have used these before and put them up on the data projector to read as a whole class. This is more visually accessable for the children.

I utilise this best at Reading time as it is a rotation for the children. I record those children who have had a turn so that each child hopefully has an opportunity to use this programme if not once a week then once a fortnight.

The children enjoy this programme very much and it is great to see their focus during reading time. The children can also access this at home as a home learning activity.
