I've mentioned Chad's struggles with reading in the past. He has Dyslexia, and although he is in 4th grade, he reads at about a beginning 2nd grade level. I am always on the lookout for good reading helps and programs! Reading Kingdom has been a great online program for Chad!
Reading Kingdom was created by Dr. Marion Blank, the Director of the Light on Learning Program at Columbia University and one of the world's top experts in reading. It is for ages 4-10, with the goal to be able to read at a 3rd grade level.
Reading Kingdom is the only program that teaches all six skills needed for reading and writing success:
*sequencing
*motor skills
*phonics (phonemic awareness)
*meaning
*grammar
*reading comprehension
Reading Kingdom makes learning to read fun for kids-bright graphics, incentives, and fun games. Chad loves fun computer games-so Reading Kingdom is perfect for him! It makes learning fun-he wants to do this program during his own free computer time!
What I like about Reading Kingdom, besides Chad loving it, is that once the account is set up, the child can do it on their own. There are still progress reports for the parents, so you always know where your child is in the program. Also, Reading Kingdom customizes to each student-so no wasting time on things he has mastered already. I will be thrilled to get Chad to a 3rd grade level by the time he has completed the program-I have already noticed improvement in his reading!
There are many resources at the Reading Kingdom website. You can access sample lessons, as well as find learning games, tips, worksheets, and videos. Reading Kingdom's store is where you can purchase a variety of books, as well as sign up for a 30 day trial. The regular price of a Reading Kingdom subscription is $19.99/month or $199.99/year, with additional readers costing $9.99/month or $99.99/year. Your membership is risk-free, you can cancel anytime.
We are having great success with Reading Kingdom-check it out!
