Shaun is entering the 2nd grade. He’s done well in kindergarten and 2nd grade overall, he’s a really bright and outgoing kid who soaks up everything around him. Where we have some difficulty is reading; he just doesn’t want to. He loves books but he’d rather be read to than read on his own. We were given the chance to try out Reading Kingdom; a new online educational reading tool for kids ages 4-10.
Reading Kingdom is the only program that teaches all six skills a child needs for reading and writing success! A key element of the Reading Kingdom program is that all the teaching is customized to match a child’s unique abilities. Kids start the program with a Skills Survey which shows the skillset a child already has (so there is no need to waste time re-learning something that is already known).
These 6 skills are
Sequencing
Motor Skills
Sounds
Meaning
Grammar
Comprehension
Traditional reading is learned with phonics but after researching Reading Kingdom I’m wondering if maybe that is Shaun’s issue, he’s not understanding that all the rules he’s learned about sounding out letters are going to be broken. A c doesn’t always make a c sound. The breathy h sound doesn’t work with the word “hour”. Reading Kingdom is new to our household, along with a new school year. We are going to work with Shaun over the next 3 months and see the impact Reading Kingdom makes on his learning and progress.
