Why We Love Reading Eggs for Homeschool Reading Success

If you’re looking for a fun, effective, and proven way to help your child learn to read, Reading Eggs is definitely worth checking out — and you can try it FREE for 30 days!

Reading Eggs is a comprehensive online homeschool reading curriculum for kids ages 2–13. Developed by education experts and grounded in the Science of Reading, it’s been trusted by families and educators for over 15 years. It’s even aligned to state standards, which gives you confidence that you’re covering what you need to.

What makes Reading Eggs so effective? It’s built around the five key pillars of reading success: phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, reading comprehension, and fluency. Plus, it’s fun — and when kids are having fun, learning sticks so much better!

You can have up to four children using one subscription, and it comes with access to four different programs. It even comes with Mathseeds — a complete math curriculum for ages 3–9 — during your free trial.  After the free trial you can choose to keep it as part of your subscription. 

Reading Eggs is designed for all kids — whether they’re public schooled, private schooled, or homeschooled.

And it’s not just screen-based learning. There are tons of printable worksheets, texts, lesson ideas, and hands-on activities you can use alongside the digital program to keep learning fresh and interactive.

Our Personal Experience with Reading Eggs

My husband and I help our daughter homeschool two of our grandkids, and Reading Eggs has been a game-changer.

When we started, our grandson was behind in his reading. After using Reading Eggs, he quickly caught up to his grade level — and according to the program’s assessments, he’s now right on track. He even started recognizing tricky words that we hadn’t taught him yet — you know, all those crazy English words with “ough” or the “rule breakers” that don’t follow any logical rules. It blew me away!

Reading Eggs really does make learning to read FUN with self-paced lessons, exciting games, and motivating rewards that kids love.

One thing I really appreciate is that the program starts with a quick placement test, so your child is working at just the right level — not overwhelmed, not bored. It’s tailored to their ability from day one.

Once placed, they move through lessons filled with videos, songs, games, and books that keep building their reading skills — and every success earns them “eggs” they can use for digital prizes.

Meanwhile, parents get automated progress reports so you can easily track how your child is doing without needing to sit next to them every second.

My daughter (their mom) loves how independent the kids can be with the app. It’s super user-friendly for both kids and parents. Plus, it even taught our grandson some basic computer navigation skills — bonus life skill!
