Reading Eggs

Some of you may have heard about Study Island, the computerized program that students in grades 3-5 use to practice their skills.  Reading Eggs is a program created by the makers of Study Island for younger students.  For July's calendar activity, please sign your student up for Reading Eggs.  In order to do this, you will need to click on the words Reading Eggs to get to the site.  Once there, sign up for the free trial.  You will need to supply your email address.  If you are concerned about giving your regular email address, I suggest opening up a free account through Yahoo! or another free email site and using it solely for free trials.  After supplying the email address, you will need to launch the program through the email the program sends to you.  You will have the choice of starting your child at the very beginning of the program or having them take a placement test which will suggest activities at your child's level.  After enrolling your child, please have him/her use the program two to three times per week as long as the trial lasts.  This is a new program to those of us at CHES so we would love to hear feedback from both students and adults.  Please leave your thoughts on the program as a comment.  Have fun!
