Loved this! Can you (or have you already) made a video listing your favorite free educational apps for kids? I found a few number blocks and alpha blocks apps I like, they’re nothing super amazing, but my kids really enjoy them!
I’m made one due to your suggestion and then forgot to come back and share the link 🙈🥰 better late then never. Here you go ruclips.net/video/blhjI0kf_q0/видео.htmlsi=4ZAnYNYQ47AlhSxj
Yes we have but we decided to stop using it due to some of the content included in their books here is some examples of them. ruclips.net/video/hiR87mH-VZU/видео.htmlsi=gddwN2f3XplkfHsG
Reading eggs user here 🖐 I've used it for 7 of my children. For my children who don't struggle w reading / learning disabilities/ dyslexia it's been a HUGE help to our homeschool. Out of the 7, 3 became excellent readers ( now aged 17, 15, 12) and I'm currently using it for my 7 year old emerging reader. That being said, 3 out of my 7 struggle w dyslexia ( no surprise for us because their Dad is dyslexic as well) for those 3, reading eggs was not a great fit-- they LOVE using it, but I've seen little to no improvement in their reading. If you have a struggling student, I'd recommend Nessy vs Reading Eggs-- but please understand my recommendation for Nessy is only anecdotal based off others reviews and recommendations ( we haven't yet used it ourselves) but are making the switch over to Nessy for my 3 struggling kids ( who are still currently using reading eggs in the interim) I hope that explanation makes sense. I'd be happy to answer any question you have about the program but a couple highlights are: repetition Highly engaging..colorful, musical etc A joy to use-- My kids ask to use it...they never look at it as a chore Rewards--My kids love building their homes and avatars by earning eggs during lessons that they can trade in for stuff and / or certificates --u can print at milestones ( some kids like the tangible reward vs an avatar reward) Emails sent to me every lesson completed and highlighting what skill the child specifically learned Printable sheets for further practice Emailed recommendations of activities u can do w your child to reinforce phonetic awareness .
Oh wow! I'm so glad for that warning re the agenda at reading eggs! We took a break from 2019 until just this week ( re started our subscription yesterday!) So I'll be going through my 7 year Olds library w a fine tooth comb for sure-- thanks for sounding the alarm!
@@LifeintheMundane oh no! I have tried quite literally all of these and readingeggs is the only one we have liked to supplement our reading program! I wonder if it is just in the library or if it is in the actual curriculum portion of it. My kids don't read the books and I don't plan on them using it once they have mastered their phonics skills.
Plz help me decide on one very good reading help that can help my 5 yr old how to read. She loves books. I read to her but she doesnt know how to read i need an app that can help her shes in kindergarten thank you
Thanks for the information. Really appreciated What’s the best place to get a good curriculum that you use that’s not app or on websites. We are looking for main curriculum 😅instead of supplemental apps. What would you recommend (Teen and toddler) And what do you use.

Hello, have you tried hooked on phonics ?
I have not personally tried it.
Have you ever used reading eggs? We are still in the free trial, but we’re really liking it so far.
Yes we have but we decided to stop using it due to some of the content included in their books here is some examples of them. ruclips.net/video/hiR87mH-VZU/видео.htmlsi=gddwN2f3XplkfHsG

Here is a playlist of curriculum picks for this year ruclips.net/p/PLubMxue0SIaFJsqYgFPZhBAH6VfGXtAfk&si=tgou0RKrv8phI26Q
@@LifeintheMundane awesome thank you!!
thank you sister
You are welcome
The founder of ABCMouse and Adventure Academy is also a large donor to the Church of Scientology. Big con for me. We vote with our money.
I did not know that. Thank you for the information
I’d remove ABC Mouse and replace it with Night Zookeeper!
Who cares, what make believe thing do you believe in
Thank you!!!
You are very welcome
What is your primary curriculum for the different subjects that you covered here?
Our main curriculum is not a app it is All About Reading www.allaboutlearningpress.net/go.php?id=1721
What worked best for your little with autism?
Wondering if you’ve tried Epic reading app?
I have, I liked it but my kids outgrew it.
