Reading Kingdom Information

Reading Kingdom is a patented, award-winning online program that teaches children 4-10 years old how to read and write. Reading is the single most important skill a child will ever learn. It is the prerequisite for all other learning. But government figures show that 2 out of 3 children are failing to become proficient readers (source: US Dept. of Ed). Until now, educators relied almost exclusively on phonics and whole language to teach reading skills - both of which have significant problems that make failure inevitable for many children. Reading Kingdom, on the other hand teaches ala rich array of reading and writing skills in an integrated fashion so that they complement and reinforce each other while fostering comprehension at every level. Key benefits: • It provides customized instruction that adapts to each child’s specific skills and needs. • It employs principles of gamification to motivate children – so it’s fun and children enjoy doing it. • It can be used by most children on their own after just a few lessons. • It works with any other curriculum a child may be using. • It can be used to teach ESL.
