I’m always looking for fun programs that can help my daughter strengthen her reading skills. I was offered the opportunity to review Reading Kingdom, which is an online online program that teaches children 4-10 years old how to read and write to a 3rd grade level.
How It Works
Reading Kingdom teaches children the 6 skills needed for reading and writing:
- sequencing
- motor skills
- sounds, meaning
- grammar
- comprehension
The program starts with a Skill Survey to show what skills your child has already mastered and which areas they still need more practice. Once the Skills Survey is completed the program is customized for your individual child. The program is organized into six levels:
- Pre-reading ~ letter sequencing, keyboard and mouse training
- Levels 1 – 5 ~ reading and writing skills
This program is not phonics based.
The program is designed for the child to work at their own pace without adult assistance.
Our Thoughts
After my daughter took the skills survey we discovered she still needed training with her keyboard and mouse skills. She has not gotten as far as I would like using the program and just recently started Level 1. I really wanted her to love this program and am very disappointed to say that she did not like the cute little owl who guides you through the lessons and commented that it looked like a baby program
I think as we continue to use the program the lessons will become more challenging and she will start to enjoy the program more.
Overall, I think Reading Kingdom is a good program and we will continue to is, along with our current language curriculum.
