The Reading Kingdom Perfect For Summer Reading Lessons

During the Summer, my kids MUST continue with academics. This year I gave them the 1st week off, but now, that we are officially in Summer, our "Mommy School" schedule is complete. Beside the worksheets, workbook, library books and websites and more, we have added The Reading Kingdom to the curriculum.

I signed up for my the free trial and started with Goddess. I entered her name, and age then The Reading Kingdom did the rest.


What I Can Tell You:

I sat Goddess down every day for five days, she loves computer games and was eager to start. Most of our computer games are geared towed education however, the kids just think they are playing. 

She didn't enjoy the first four days. Mostly she was asked to repeat the letters she saw on the screen and after a while she wanted off. This is an important part of the program. The Reading Kingdom is really trying to learn what the child knows and to make sure they understand how to use a computer.  This morning when she sat down to start Lesson 2. She was asked to hit words that the screen called out. There was also a prize if she got the word correct. She really liked it and didn't get off for an hour. Hopefully this program will have Goddess ready for the 1st grade before the end of summer. I have high hopes. 

I can completely see how The Reading Kingdom can help children learn to read or aid in their reading abilities.
