Reading Books Online for Kids

Reading books online is fast becoming the norm in an age where the internet provides teachers and parents with innumerable learning resources at the click of a mouse. While it is still highly beneficial for kids to read books at the library or at school, there is now a wealth of reading books and material available on the internet, many of which can be found in online reading programs like ABC Reading Eggspress and ABC Reading Eggspress.

Reading Books as part of online reading programs

Completing reading lessons as part of an online reading program can help develop the core literacy skills your child needs to learn to read – like phonemic awareness, phonics skills, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension – but these skills need to be applied to reading actual books in order for your child to be a truly successful reader. As part of the ABC Reading Eggspress program, which is designed for 3 to 7 year olds, children read a range of book titles that match their level of ability. Every lesson after Lesson 9 of ABC Reading Eggs ends with an e-book that allows children to apply the skills learnt during that lesson. These e-books range from alphabet, story and non-fiction titles.

Designed for 7 to 13 year olds, ABC Reading Eggspress includes, in addition to its comprehension, spelling, vocabulary and grammar lessons, an online library of over 1000 ebooks. These ebooks include illustrated chapter books, full colour non-fiction books and a range of classics, with new books added regularly. After reading each e-book, children complete a 10 question quiz that tests their comprehension, earning exciting rewards for correct answers. The full ABC Reading Eggspress Library is also available on iPad, so kids read their favourite online books on the go.
