ABC Reading Eggs is homework students will want to do! Reception/Kindergarten The program begins at an absolute emergent reading level, focusing on letter sounds, first sight words and reading simple sentences. The site is simple to navigate and students are motivated to complete lessons. Use the colourful lessons with groups or the whole class (on the IWB or computer) as lesson starters that really focus your students’ attention. Year 1 Students can take a placement test to ensure that they are working at a level that matches their reading ability, or teachers can move students to an appropriate reading level. The program can ensure all your students make progress, as it covers a wide range of phonic skills, essential sight words and comprehension skills in a highly motivating way. Reluctant readers love ABC Reading Eggs. Year 2 Many features of ABC Reading Eggs are excellent for Year 2 students. Make the Story Factory part of your writing program; with its weekly contests, it’s a great way to get kids writing. The new Skills Bank focuses on Spelling, Grammar and Vocabulary development. Even your struggling readers can make real progress at ABC Reading Eggs. Support Teacher Many struggling and reluctant readers really enjoy working on a computer, as it allows them to progress at their own pace. The ABC Reading Eggs lessons provide plenty of practice in developing key reading skills and the interesting activities can be repeated as often as needed. Special Educational Needs ABC Reading Eggs is used in many special needs classrooms. The bright graphics and repetition work well with a wide range of students. The songs and fun activities make ABC Reading Eggs a rewarding activity, where students experience success and learn key reading skills. 3 The ABC Reading Eggs Lessons There are 12 maps with a total of 120 lessons. Each lesson has between 6 to 10 parts. Step 1 – Starting Out in the Zoo Lessons 1–40 This first step is aimed at 4-6 year olds who have little or no reading skills. This is where all students can begin to learn to read. By completing the 40 lessons in the Starting Out set, students will learn their first reading skills. This includes learning the sounds and names of the alphabet letters, reading their first sight words, such as the, I, and, is and see. They will also learn the essential phonic skills needed to read three letter words such as cat, fan and Sam. Students will then be able to read their first simple stories featuring Sam the ant. Step 2 – Beginning to Read in the Playgr Zoo Lessons 41-80 The next step builds on skills learnt in Step 1 with a focus on short vowel words such as cat, dog, ten, fish and duck, and on building reading skills. Students will learn many more high frequency sight words, build word families and read another 40 books. Some of these books are nonfiction titles with a focus on building vocabulary in these areas – colours, numbers, facial features and pets. Step 3 – Building Confidence at the Theme Park Lessons 81-120 The third step covers long vowel words such as cake, kite, rain, cook, seat and cute. These new phonic patterns are introduced and reinforced so that students can read them fluently and spell them correctly. There is an increased focus on reading for meaning, comprehension and understanding longer words and sentences. 4 How does an ABC Reading Eggs lesson work? Once you have set up an account for your students, each student will land on a map. The map makes it easy for emergent readers to navigate the site. Each of the numbered stepping stones represents a lesson. Parts 1 and 2 The main lesson Part 5 Vocabulary The main lessons appear as a series of interactive Flash animations, led by our host/ teacher, Sam the Ant, or another character. He models each concept. The student needs to get seven correct responses to progress to the next part of the lesson. This vocabulary building activity ensures that students know the words used in the reading books. Part 6 The e-book Part 3 Dot-to-dot The dot-to-dot activities are a fun way for students to learn correct letter formation. Part 4 Letter recognition This activity builds recognition of both upper- and lower-case letters. This is an electronic book, with audio support, that students can read online. Printed versions of these books are also available. Part 7 The egg hatches! The student is rewarded for completing the lesson with a new creature that hatches and becomes part of their online collection. 5 Get your class started on Reading Eggs This suggested lesson plan is a quick guide to help you successfully launch Reading Eggs & Eggspress with your class.
