Our Reading Eggs Journey ended this past summer and I thought the kids were doing well without it. They're reading, spelling and comprehending what they are reading. I give credit to my masterful teaching on the subject. lol. Actually I give a lot of the credit to Reading Eggs. Even though we've been doing well without it, the kids actually ask me from time to time when we're going to get started again. I've decided that the time to get started is now. We no longer qualify for the free trials. We've used up our trial coupons, but if you're ready to see a jump in your childs interest for reading, then I highly recommend starting on their free two week trial. It's free, and I can almost guarantee your child will actually enjoy the lessons. :)
