Reading Eggs review

Reading Eggs is the pick when a child needs help with reading and spelling together. The app bundles alphabet games, spelling games, phonics activities, word puzzles and over 4,000 e-books, and splits them across programs: Reading Eggs Junior for ages 2 to 4, Reading Eggs for ages 3 to 7 covering phonics, sight words, spelling, vocabulary and comprehension, Fast Phonics for ages 5 to 10, and Reading Eggspress for ages 7 to 13. Lessons are self-paced and matched to each child's level, and golden eggs and collectable pets keep kids motivated. One subscription covers up to four children. On the US App Store, Reading Eggs costs $9.99 a month or $69.99 a year, and a bundle with Mathseeds is $13.99 a month. It does not describe custom spelling lists, so it will not drill the words from a school test. We compared documented features and published prices only.
