We are pleased to review a complementary subscription to the Reading Kingdom program!
Details …
The Reading Kingdom is more than a phonics program. It’s reading program for children ages 4 to 10 that teaches six skills neededfor reading and writing success. Created by Dr. Marion Blank,one of the world’s top experts in literacy, the reading system is beloved byparents and has helped thousands of kids to learn to read. You can go to the Reading Kingdom site and sign up for the 30-day free trial today!
Our Thoughts …
We started Grace on this program earlier this year. She turns 5 later this month so she is at the early end of the this program. She started with the skill building part of this program which was a bit tough for her to start with as they were showing lower case letter and the keyboard is all upper case letters. Did you ever think of that fact? I didn’t until she started this! She really loves working on her keyboard and mouse skills though. The hardest part of the program is that it doesn’t seem to scale to age for the child. Don’t get me wrong though, Grace LOVES this program. She asks daily to do her “reading on the computer”. Daily! If I could change one thing, I would want it to scale more to the age of the child as Grace still doesn’t know what a quotation mark is or why you use one. An older child would know this for sure.
Since Grace has started this, there is no taking it away for sure. I would recommend this for an older child though … say 6-10 age range instead of 4-10. Overall, the program does provide great feedback to the parents though and I really like the pacing guide that tells me what is next for her.
