How is Reading Eggs built on the five essential pillars of reading?

Reading Eggs is built on solid scientific research to develop phonemic awareness,
phonics, vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency.

the 5 pillars of Reading Eggs
Phonemic Awareness

Phonemic Awareness

Learning and manipulating the sounds in spoken words.

Phonics

Phonics

Recognizing the relationship between written and spoken letters and sounds.

Vocabulary

Vocabulary

Understanding words, their definitions, and their context.

Reading Comprehension

Reading Comprehension

Learning to understand the meaning of different texts.

Fluency

Fluency

The ability to read aloud with speed, accuracy, and the appropriate expression.

How is phonemic awareness developed?

step-by-step demonstrations
  • Songs and rhymes introduce each phoneme through a series of carefully scaffolded activities
  • Phonemic awareness games allow students to practise listening for and identifying appropriate letter sounds
  • Lessons teach how to hear, segment, and substitute phonemes
  • Onset and rime activities ensure that students can hear, recognize, and create words that rhyme

How is phonics taught?

reading eggs lessons
  • Beginning with letter‑sound correspondence, students learn to match sounds to letters
  • Students blend 2- and 3‑letters together to read phonically decodable words. They also segment words to spell them
  • Each lesson ends with a levelled text to help students apply what they’ve learned
  • Onset and rime activities help students build fluency with word families

How is new vocabulary practised?

student progress tracking
  • Vocabulary words are explicitly taught using a variety of differentiated activities
  • Content words are introduced using audio and visuals to get at meaning
  • High‑frequency sight words are reinforced using a carefully designed sequence to maximize student recall
  • Just‑right books that appear in 'My Program' help students practise reading words they know

How is comprehension targeted?

useful feedback
  • Scaffolded vocabulary activities boost student understanding of what they read.
  • Lexile‑levelled fiction and nonfiction texts match students' reading ability
  • The Library provides hundreds of levelled titles with comprehension quizzes that allow students to practise and improve their skills
  • Questions build comprehension in the four main areas of literal, inferential, vocabulary, and critical thinking

How is fluency developed?

students listening to Reading Eggs in classroom
  • Built‑in read‑to‑me audio feature on hundreds of beginner titles provides students with a positive model for fluent reading
  • Word activities within lessons build automaticity for a range of words including high frequency and phonically decodable words
  • Good word attack skills based on segmenting and blending maximize the ability to decode and read new texts
  • The ability to read and reread texts improves students’ fluency and confidence when reading
