Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way.
My oldest son Karter was a bit of a slow bloomer when it came to reading. When he was 5 we were informed he had conductive hearing loss, I just wrote most of the symptoms off as him being a 5 year old boy. He has a condition where his ear drums are to thick to allow the proper vibrations required to pass sound through efficiently, it was a result of many many many ear infections as a baby. He was fitted for hearing aids and later got a long term set of tubes that opened his ear drum to allow sound to pass through. With these interventions he was finally able to process sounds and he hit the ground running with reading from that point on. Within a year he went from barely on grade level to multiple grade levels ahead! One of the resources we used during that time was called Reading Eggs by Blake eLearning Inc.
At the time Reading Eggs was for Pre-K through 2nd grade, which meant it fit both Karter and Krissy. Krissy was a very early reading and I attribute that to this program as well. So when I was given the opportunity to review this program we were all thrilled about it. Reading Eggs now caters to ages 2-13 with multiple different sub-programs built-in ranging from reading, spelling, phonics, and even math!

The different sub-programs are:
Reading Eggs Junior - Ages 2-4 - a learing experience right on their level that includes, book read alloweds, interactive activites, and videos.
Mathseeds -Ages 3-9 - a fun interactive math program that includes lessons, games, drills and awards.
Fast Phonics - Ages 5-10
Reading Eggs - 3-7 - The original program that started it all, making reading fun!
Reading Eggspress - Ages 7-13 - The next level that helps readers continue to enjoy reading no matter if it's leisure reading or for content.
All three of my kids are able to play/learn with these program! Kandy has the options of Reading Eggs Junior and Mathseeds. Krissy has the option of all the programs except Reading Eggs Jr. Karter has access to Reading Eggspress. All three of them have thoroughly enjoyed playing them too. It's nice to have educational apps for them, they feel like they're playing but I get the reassurance that they're safe and learning!
Both Karter and Kris loved the Reading Eggs reward system, with each lesson you do you receive eggs that can be used to "buy" things. Krissy used his reward eggs to create his own avatar in Reading Eggs. Karter used his to get trading cards in Reading Eggspress.

When we first got access to the program each kid did diagnostic testing to help place them. We did redo it a couple times because I think they rode under their levels, but I think they were trying to breeze through the diagnostics to get to the fun part!
Reading Eggs is available on many different platforms, we utilized it successfully on our ipads and using safari. One of my favorite features is that it locks Kandy in it so she can't accidentally (or intentionally) switch to something else with out a code. I also really appreciate the reports aspect as well, it allows me to see how the kids are progressing along and which programs they're spending the most time in. In Reading Eggspress it also has a goals tracker, that is a nice visual aid with realistic goals for even the most avid young readers!! I get e-mail alerts when someone levels up and I can log in anytime to the dashboard and see how they have been doing!
