![]() ![]() ![]() *I could chose which ones were "his turn" to build his confidence and "my turn" to demonstrate one he couldn't do. *After seeing me do one or two examples, the next time a similar board came up he would literally push my hand off the mouse and say he wanted to do it. *So I rigged it so that I would do the harder ones or too fast ones or ones that he hadn't seen yet. I said, "you do a board, then I'll do a board," thinking that if it were a classroom he wouldn't be answering every question, surely he'll get something from watching me do some of the work. *So, I sat with him and went through all the lessons. I would have probably bought it and just left it up to him to do it or not, get past the hard parts or not, *and would have ended up letting the subscription expire unused, wasted after one of the hard parts.but, at that time, I read a forum thread about if your kid's working very hard to learn something well you should help them out. Eh, some parts are more fun than others and some parts are kind of hard, but not too hard. *My son is now good at the dreaded timed "golden eggs". *I actually think I *know what that's about, visual discrimination or visual processing. Like another poster said some of the games in reading eggs go very fast, maybe one in every twenty lessons is. he likes it, and can play around on his own with it. it has much less depth and quantity of content than reading eggs but it does have more varied content. ds has done a couple of reading eggspress lessons, but i have to sit with him the whole time and help with some words.ĭs likes playing on starfall more. they still don't seem to have all of the kinks worked out, but that doesn't bother her. she can spend hours on there reading books. what she really loves is reading eggspress. i still help him with some of the timed lessons because he panics a bit with timers.ĭd 7 likes the spelling lessons and buying things with eggs. early on i sat with him while he did the lessons until he got the hang of the games. he was reading some before starting, so i am not sure how it would work for a kid who wasn't reading at all. we got it when homeschool buyers coop had it at the end of summer.ĭs, who turned 4 in november, started using it in august and has completed almost all of the reading lessons, he has 7 left. My kids who are 7 and 4 love reading eggs.
