My 4 year old loves your reading eggs program. I am an early childhood teacher with a lot of experience with early literacy and I can honestly say that this is the best program that I have ever come across for young children. Congratulations and thank you for this exciting new learning opportunity. Cathy
Hi, I just wanted to say how fantastic your program is. My 5 year old is about to start school and is eager to learn, which means he is currently driving me nuts. I put him on the site and he did not want to get off. I told his cousin same age about it and he loves it just as much too. Thank you for the great effort that has been placed into making the program. Please feel free to make a maths one the same. Regards Naomi
Dear Reading Eggs Team, Ever since my 4yo son has started “playing” (as he thinks of it) on Reading Eggs, I can’t believe how he has developed with his literacy skills. He is constantly spelling out words, reading simple things, writing lists of words and always asking “what spells this mum?”. I am totally in awe watching a child learn to read and write and I truly believe that Reading Eggs has been a huge encouragement and instrument in his development. I think the website is one of the best I’ve seen…I want to play on it! It is so appealing with the colours, the critters, the games… I cannot speak highly enough of the package you have designed and am telling anyone who will listen about it. Thank you very much we love it! The Ward family.
Hi, I just wanted to let you know how much my children are enjoying your program. I think it’s excellent, interactive, fun and has some obviously well researched activities and teaching principles in play. I am truly amazed at how quickly simple repetition, quirky characters, games, music and Sam and co. have brought reading alive. Thank you. I have recommended it to all the people I know with children. Thanks again, Diana ;)
I just would like to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH for this great and valuable software. My son is a much fast learner with you than me. It really takes hours to teach him words, but with READING EGG just 30 minutes to understand the words. He can write the words as well after finishing the Reading Eggs lesson and most importantly, the words stays for ages in his brain. What a wonderful job ! Once again from my deepest heart, I really want to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Keep up the good work. Widi
Great program. Within 10 days he started reading when I was thinking of getting him to do one more year of reception, now he definitely can continue to year one. Thanks
This is the best teaching program that could be. Well done to the inventor, with admiration from the Ducaj family.
Hi! I love the reading eggs program. I am using it with some of my Kindergarten, Pre Primary and Year One students. They love it!!! Many thanks for your fabulous program. Kat
My daughter is 7 years old but has a severe language and speech problem which effects all of her academic learning. We have tried many different computer programs to help her but find she gets bored or discouraged quickly. She loves Reading Eggs and we find that she is progressing better with her reading and phonic sounds because of this program. THANKYOU!!!! Kay
Bailey could not read. He loved Sam and before my eyes he start telling me words and whole sentences. I couldn’t believe it, it was great. Bailey was so proud of himself. Eliza
Reading Eggs is fabulous my kids want to do a lesson each night, they love it !!! It has taught my youngest who has just turned 4 so much already. I think all schools should have Reading Eggs !!!! Natasha
Just a quick note to tell you how impressed I am with your program. My son Luke is 4yrs old in Dec and started Reading Eggs in Aug this year. He is doing really well and absolutely loves the program. We have recommended Reading Eggs to a number of family and friends both here and in NZ. Thanks again Nadine
My four year old could not read at all and only knew some letters and sounds after two weeks he was reading books of a standard that my elder daughter read after two terms of Kindergarten! Wendy
We were in a book store and I couldn’t help but let them know how well my son is reading thanks to the Reading eggs program. I actually pulled out a book from one of the packs and Matthew stood in the trolley reading to the shop assistant. He was more than willing. It’s so exciting to see my child so confidently read especially after having another child with a reading disability, I had wondered if this was the fate for Matthew, it’s clearly not. I really just want other children to experience reading the way my (4 Year old) son has. Also my son’s behaviour has improved incredibly since starting Reading Eggs. I struggled myself with reading at school and am so happy to see my son enjoy it. Thanks for such a wonderful program. Cathy
My child has a significant language delay resulting in very poor expressive language. He was extremely behind his Yr 1 class when we moved from the country to Perth in June. Since doing Reading Eggs he has learnt all his letter sounds and has almost caught up with his class in the sight words. It has been great as he seems to learn easier from visual activities and the program has really given him more confidence. Thankyou Karen B.
My son is struggling with reading in his first year at school (kindy), so he is really enjoying this (only recently started) and it seems to give him more pride and confidence – he thinks it’s great fun. He said “I love Reading Eggs Mum” and that was music to my ears – so THANKYOU! Sharon
Again, Thank you Reading Eggs team for a really successful program. We are just over the moon with how well Jaye is doing and how much he’s enjoying learning! No pushing required. Cheers Jess
I would like to thank and applaud you for such an excellent program. My son Isaac (who will be 4 at the end of this month)already had an aptitude for reading and writing and could read and spell a few simple words before we started reading eggs. However since starting reading eggs in September this year, he can now read all the books from books 1,2,3 and 4 and is VERY hungry for more. Sharon
Thanks Reading Eggs for a wonderful service. My daughter is in Kindy and has really struggled to get a grasp of reading and has not really enjoyed reading, although she LOVES stories. She has now finished 30 Reading Eggs lessons and has loved doing them. I really think it has helped her learning too. Yesterday her teacher said to me for the first time that her reading was ‘great’. I can’t tell you how happy that made me and I think you guys are certainly part of her progress. I also have started my 4 year old son on Reading Eggs and he is starting to enjoy it too. I was amazed that he started to pick up the idea of sounds through your lessons. I have been talking to him for months about what sound words start with and he really hadn’t grasped it, but on Reading Eggs, I think he has started to. With the help of your program I think he will be a lot more school ready and have an easier transition to big school in a years time than my daughter has had. Thanks again, you are really making a difference. warm regards Brenda
Hi I just wanted to tell you how wonderful your site is. My son is 3 and had been asking me to help him learn to read (as he already knew his alphabet). I tried your site and he has progressed at a rapid rate and now can read some sentences. I think you should put yourself forward for site design awards as the site is intuitive and allows children to develop mouse skills while they learn to read. I am very happy I came across your site. Well done Regards Sharon
Just want to say, this website is absolutely fantastic. I’m sure it won’t be long until it is standard practice for every child in Australia to learn to read this way! I have certainly be recommending it to all my friends with pre-schoolers. Thanks Jo
Hi there, Thanks for this wonderful website. Our 6yr old son missed most of Term 2 this year due to a 2mth overseas holiday. We were assured it would be easy for him to catch up, but it proved to be a real mission. We were even told about 2wks ago he would not be passing and would be kept down as he has missed too much and does not have time to catch up. As he is one of the oldest chidren already, I wasn’t keen for that and very worried about his confidence. Several parents at school mentioned Reading Eggs. So I checked it out. Looked fun so I signed up for the free trial and he has been doing it for less than a week and his reading and phonics have improved so much in only a few days – it is nothing short of a miracle. Until now I didn’t know of any websites that could offer fun, advert-free activities for learning. Not looking any further. He is loving it, and to my surprise, he loves the games but much prefers the phonics and reading activities. The songs at the end of each lesson are funny and entertaining and we gather around to sing along and have a laugh. Congratulations to those behind the creation of this site – you’ve hit the jackpot – now keep working to get more levels going – Luca is catching up fast!! Thank you so much. Nicole and Luca!
Well done reading eggs! What a wonderful program. I have 2 daughters who have just turned 2 and 3 and they love reading eggs. Because of their ages they have trouble using the laptop, but they still can do the lessons with my help. They point to the screen and I click on the things for them. My partner and I can’t believe how much they have learned in the past month. Thanks a million reading eggs team, and keep up the great work!!! Rickie
I am in awe of this programme. Brianna had begun doing her sounds, consonants and joining words in Pre-Primary. At her new school they do not do this until year 1, which will be next year, I was worried that Brianna would forget what she had learnt. Reading is such a huge component of our family life that I did not want her to lose interest or motivation to learn to read. She is loving the programme and humbugs me constantly to do Reading Eggs. I sit with her while she does the lessons, but do not tell her what to do and let her make mistakes so that she learns from them. I am amazed at how quickly she picks things up and remembers what she has learnt. Thank you Thank you, Thank you for such a wonderful and fun way to learn. Kim
I stumbled across these at the bookshop and thought I’d give them a try with my 4 yr old. After her first 5 lessons, she started pointing out letters and their sounds in books and during conversation. After the ten lessons, she proudly read her book to her kinder class. Since then, a number of parents have asked about Reading Eggs for their children, so impressed were they at how quickly she picked up sounds and words. It took just over a week! Thank you for such an easy to understand program, giving children success at all levels. She can’t wait to start the second box, all she wants to do is her ‘egg games’ every day. Now she’s started, we can’t stop her!!!! Regards Kristine
Thanks Reading Eggs for a fantastic product. After completing the 14 day trial my four year old was hooked. My only problem was getting him to repeat lessons, he wanted to hatch another egg as soon as possible until I purchased a pack from Dymocks. Suddenly the map and interaction with stickers had him repeating lessons 1 – 10 with no problems. I have now had my son read me his two “special” books from pack 1 at bedtime rather than me read to him. What a wonderful accomplishment. Filomena
What a great way to learn and have fun at the same time! My daughter is 4 and loves reading eggs. She really enjoys seeing the eggs hatch into a new critter as a reward for completing each stage. Thank you ALL so much, I will definitely recommend this to ALL our friends! Nova
Hello, My daughter, is 4 and a half, and wanted to learn to read. She has only been doing reading eggs for less than a month, and yesterday she read the story at the end of lesson 16. She was actually sounding out the words and working out what they were. My husband couldn’t believe it (and I was shocked too). Thank you so much – your program is amazing. We will be signing up and plan on telling everyone about this great reading tool. Regards Jane
Thank you Reading Eggs People- I had a 6 year old boy who really battled with reading and even opening a book was a challenge. Now both my 6 year old and almost 4 year old fight over who gets to do Reading Eggs each afternoon. They love it. All of it. It is a well thought out, interactive, fast paced program which my kids love. Thank you!!!! Rachael
My son has high functioning Autism spectrum disorder and adores computers, therefore he is committed to your program and absorbs the content. My son’s ability to learn how to read is enhanced by his condition and reading eggs provides him with the tools he needs to achieve this. My son has a language and communication impairment and Reading eggs has also enhanced his speech and communication!!!! Reilly laughs at the annimations and finds the lessons enjoyable and fun. Linda
Hi there My daughter is 6 and in year 1 at school. She didn’t ‘get’ reading and I was beginning to really worry that we might have a problem. We have tried all manner of books, charts, phonics, Letterland, extra help etc but the progress was painfully slow, almost to the point of non existent. A friend mentioned Reading Eggs in passing and I didn’t even get a chance to hear why she suggested it. I looked you up and it was timely that the special offer was on and I signed up my daughter. In a matter of weeks she is flying along like never before. She absolutely LOVES Reading Eggs (as do her siblings) and asks to go on the computer morning, noon and night to do it. It’s such a lovely, colourful, fun (and funny) and educational site and the reward system of levels, eggs, certificates and games are so well thought out. I just wanted to say Hurray and Thank You. :-) Sanchia
What a wonderful program! I decided to use the free trial as an opporunity to test whether Tayah, my 3yr old, was ready to learn to read .. and oh yes she was! She completed Map 1 with a Gold Certificate before she turned 3 1/2 and I am amazed at how much she has become aware of words. A couple of days ago whilst driving home, she excitedly yelled out “there’s a ‘the’ Mummy on that sign!” That was music to my ears! I now feel I am giving Tayah quality time sitting with her while she completes her lessons (the housework can wait!). My 20 mth old also repeats everything she hears said on the program in the background, and I am sure she will also become addicted as much as we have when her time comes. Congratulations, and we look forward to a long commitment to your site! Vona
Thanks for Jaye’s progress report. Jaye loves reading eggs and is responding so well. It’s a truly clever program. His Dad and I are really thrilled with what he’s getting out of it. We printed off his first certificate for the Zoo 1 Quiz and he was so proud of it. It’s a great keepsake to mark his progress. Kind regards Jess
I am a mum of 5 young boys two of which enjoyed your program so much they would rush home from school to be the first one on. My 5 yr old is now completed he’s waiting on his next map which is “under construction”. The younger kids sit in amazement watching and listening as that ant “Sam” sings and dances he even gets my attention with his catchy rhymes. I just wanted to say what a brillant idea this program is, my 5 year old now corrects his peer’s spelling (sometimes even mine!) So thanks for having it affordable so that a lot of chidren can benefit from this program.
We have been using the reading eggs program for a month now with our 5 year old and she loves it and her teacher has noticed the vast improvement in her sound skills. Suzanna
My son has severe dyspraxia involving verbal, fine & gross motor skills. Since starting school he has lost all confidence in learning literacy, and avoids any literacy activities like the plague. Not so with reading eggs. It has given him much more than reading ability. I can’t keep him off or get him to stop working on reading eggs. Jody
Keenly picks out letters and words that she recognises when we’re reading traditional books, and picks up things like word repetition on the page. She also talks about it and relates everyday things to Reading Eggs, eg. she may hear a word or phrase and say, “Mum, I learnt that on my Reading Eggs.” Gina
Just want to say a HUGE thank you for your fabulous Reading Eggs program. My daughter is four next month and it is simply amazing how quickly she is genuinely learning to read. It is great how simply Reading Eggs teaches children to read. It takes any stress out of the learning process by making it fun. We have just had our second child, and I cannot tell you how great reading eggs has been. While I feed the baby, our daughter navigates her way around the Reading Eggs site, completing lessons and (her favourite bit) hatching critters! Thanks again. Anna
He is learning to read for the first time!
Thankyou so much, we are loving the reading eggs programme, and my daughter pleads with me every day to do it. Her love of books and the written word has gone to another level now, and the other day in pre-primary she received an honor certificate for showing an increased interest in words, reading and spelling. Which for us was also an indicator of how much she is loving this programme, normally with just me she would get frustrated, but with this programme she is so keen and enthusiastic about the reading, the songs, the critters, the collecting of eggs and many more aspects of your programme. Well done and keep up the fantastic work with such an important programme. Lana
Thanks for the trial. We LOVE it. It’s really well designed and my daughter is having fun and learning a ton. Ellen
Has a passion for learning now. ALWAYS writing strands of letters ALL day. Was NEVER interested no matter what we tried BEFORE reading eggs.THANKYOU!!! Brenda
My son who is 4 1/2 was not interested in sitting down with me to learn to read from books, although he loves to listen to me read. The computer based program is the perfect avenue allowing us to spend one on one time together & I can easily see what he understands and therefore give praise appropriately where it is due and encourage him where he stumbles. His keyboard skills have also increased and he asks daily to do his “reading eggs”. Kerry
My daughter has a short concentration span but would spend ages playing these games, her ability to read has increased and her interest to try to learn to read has increased, she has always loved us reading to her but i have had difficulty in geting her to take an interest in reading – she loved this programme. Tania
Chloe is now confident to sound out letters and put them together to read the word. She is just so confident now…she loves this program.
I am a Director of a Child Care Centre and also the mother of a 4 year old. I have recommended this program to all the parents at my centre and my friends. I have a 4 year old who is very competent on the computer and also loves reading. Reading eggs has brought those two things together. It is so very age appropriate and I have not seen any software that even comes close to being as good (and I have seen many!). Well done it is great!
Hi, Just a short note to let you know that we think your Reading Eggs programme is terrific! Zac is only 5 and does everything totally on his own – it is so easy for him to navigate and he has a lot of fun doing the lessons. Thank you! Sue
My 5yr old son loves the Reading Eggs website… I often have a hard time getting him to stop doing the lessons! He has ‘brought’ 5 games by collecting golden eggs and gotten 3 certificates of which he is very proud of. All in all a brilliant program. Keep up the great work. Monica
I have been using the Reading Eggs program with my 5 year old son for a month now and it’s FANTASTIC. I have just purchased the books, activity books and flashcards for my students that I work with as a Special Needs teacher in a primary school, who are struggling readers. They LOVE it too (boys!!!). Thanks for your help and thanks for an AWESOME program for engaging unenthusiastic and young readers!!! Erin
My son has just completed his first certificate and reached the gold level on the first try without any assistance -he is in prep and is 5 years old. He keeps complaining that school is too hard yet looks forward to coming home and doing his ‘egg cracking’. Thank you so much, this has helped us no end. My 2.5 year old is also wanting to start ‘cracking eggs’ and is looking over her brother’s shoulder attempting words – what a great head start for school. My mum also does family day care and I have told her about the cards and books that are coming out – she is looking forward to seeing these too. Thank you again, this had made reading time so much easier. Cellina
Thank you Reading eggs. My son is 3 ¼ and diagnosed with high functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder. He has a significant speech delay and is responding so well to your program because he loves books and computers. We are only up to level 9 and already Reilly is reading words and saying the words and letters as he reads them. The first thing Reilly says in the morning is “put eggs on please Mummy”. Reading eggs is just what we have been searching for and has contributed to our son’s speech significantly!!!! You should consider marketing this for children with autism spectrum disorders. Kind Regards Linda
A student in my son’s class let the teacher know about Reading Eggs. Now the whole class is logged on, and I have logged on his 4yo twin brothers at home, so they feel like they are involved in “school”. Aside from the skills they are learning, it is something they can do completely on their own, though they learn also by observing and helping each other. The programme is clear, you can repeat lessons, there is no time limit, and there are no penalties. All good as far as we are concerned. The boys love it and we have already spread the word. Thank you Reading Eggs. Tiina
Oh my god! For anyone waiting for reading recovery at your local school like I have for the past two terms in a private school with a child with a language disorder! Don’t bother! Thankyou Reading Eggs, you are the happy ending to a distressed mother wanting help for her son to learn how to read! Josephine
Hi Both my kids have been registered (aged 6 and almost 4). Both kids loooove Reading Eggs. They have pack 1 at home but they want to do it online too. We are completely addicted to our Reading Eggs and it is regularly used as a reward for being good. Rachael
Recognises words, knows all her letters now. Is more interested in reading books and loves going to the library now. Spends more time looking at the words in books and trying to read them instead of just flipping through looking at the pictures.
Hello, congrats on an excellent product that has my 4 year old son totally addicted. He will play up to 3 hours at a time and in the morning he wakes up and asks if he can do Reading Eggs. Nicola
My son is loving the program. You seem to have the mix of exercises, repetition and motivation pretty well spot on. Denise
I think the website is fantastic. My 5 year old loves it. I have recommended the website to lots of people I know with kids the same age. I think about 6 kids at least have registered since I gave their parents the website. Everyone who I know who has used the website thinks it’s great.
We bought the Flashcards and 4 activities books today and my son is very keen to get started on the books. Regards, Belinda
What a fantastic site!! My 5 year old son’s letter recognition has excelled since using this website and he loves collecting the eggs. Wendy
Finn is really enjoying the reading programme and asks to go on everyday, its brilliant. Thank You. Jackie
My son is in first grade and his teacher and I have been worried that he has been slipping behind his classmates. He flips or twists letters and words as well as numbers. He was developing an “I can’t” attitude to anything written. He didn’t want to try. The first time I put on reading eggs he played it for three or four hours, only taking a break when told to and asking to be able to get back and continue. Each critter is a triumph. Each test is completed until it’s a gold trophy. This system is magic. I want to purchase the next level as soon as its available. Many Many Thanks Yours Faithfully Alison
What a fantastic concept. Thank you so much for making learning to read so enjoyable for our 4 year old. I imagine a lot of passion and energy has been put into reading eggs – congratulations to you all. Frances
Charlie, who is just 5, has enjoyed the Reading Eggs program immensely. I have been amazed at what he has picked up in such a short time. The program is amazing and we will go back over all the maps and re do the lessons and wait for the next set. Charlie has especially enjoyed the games and collecting the little critters. To all of the people who have been involved in making this program, congratulations – it really is a success. Donna
Katie (mum): I’m so impressed with the website – it has really captured Lucas’s imagination and he loves winning eggs to buy the games. It’s such a good program on many levels because not only is Lucas learning to read and recognise sounds, but he is also using mathematical skills to buy the games and work things out. Well done!”
Reading Eggs is incredible!! My daughter can’t get enough if the activities, she enjoys them so much. We had to turn the computer off because she was getting tired. In just THREE days she started reading the most basic of words. Thank you so much Reading Eggs. Arthur
Hi, I just wanted to say a big thank you. My son has been struggling with his reading. He is in grade 1 and nothing seems to hold his interest. By chance we came across your website last night and he couldn’t have been more engrossed, had trouble getting him away from the computer. First thing this morning he was ready to go back on the program again. Thank you, thank you, thank you. From Emily
I’d like to tell you that…. my five year old pre-schooler Oliver loves it and thus so do I! You’ve set up an amazing learning resource; so well thought out, well presented, fun, engaging and I think/hope it will prove to be successful in its aim to teach children to read. I wish you all the best with it. Ali
Hi, Firstly, having just discovered this site yesterday I’d like to tell you that…. my five year old pre-schooler Oliver loves it and thus so do I! You’ve set up an amazing learning resource; so well thought out, well presented, fun, engaging and I think/hope it will prove to be successful in its aim to teach children to read. I wish you all the best with it. Ali
Hi, my son Jordan LOVES reading eggs and is up to lesson 15. Thanks!! Lena
Hi, I just wanted to thank you for such a fantastic website. My kids love it! I have passed your website on to four friends already and their children seem to have the bug too. Thank you and well done on a fantastic program. Cheers Sarah, Adam and Sian
My children are absolutely loving this program. Having used a number of online reading programs, I have to say that yours is the most impressive by far. I will be sure to pass the word. Cheers, Craig.
Hi, This is a very fantastic and educative site. My son is 5 years old and he is using this website regularly and he is doing very well. Keep up the good work and well done. Regards Sunitha
My son is just loving the reading eggs. I love the fact that you have to accumulate the eggs in order to purchase games. Regards Mary
Hi This is great. My son (aged 5) loves it. Please tell me where I can get the reading eggs book packs from? Kind regards Dianne
I am a teacher and would like to know if the reading eggs program is available as a school wide program. Do you have a site licence fee? Thanks
Thank you so much. Have just tried it and my son is beside himself, he just loves it! Alison
Hi, Readingeggs is real fun.My daughter loves playing .Its easy, fun and interactive. Thanks for all of you who put great effort into this. Hip hip hurray to all of you. Valli
Hi, my daughter has loved the first lessons and I had trouble getting her off the computer. I would like to know where I could buy the reading books etc. Regards Janet
Hello Great program, my son loves it. He is 5, he is already familiar with his letters so this is a great start for words and small sentences. I think he dreams of his eggs, gets me up early to log in. Thank you Regards Mohamed
