Student Navigation Screen:

Upon first login, students are directed to the Student Navigation Screen. From there, you can choose whether they complete a Placement Test or start directly at a lesson.

After completing the Placement Test, students will return to the Student Navigation Screen.

My Lessons:

My Lessons is the central feature of the Reading Eggs program, consisting of 12 Maps and 120 lessons.

Each lesson begins with a step-by-step demonstration of a core reading skill.

Students then apply this skill through a range of guided practice activities, helping to build deep conceptual knowledge.

Every lesson includes explicit, systematic instruction with complex skills broken into smaller instructional units, as well as immediate feedback to engage early learners.

The sequential, map-based format provides a visual representation of student progress.

Students are rewarded for completing each lesson with a new creature that hatches and becomes part of their online collection.
