Reading Curriculum for Ages 3–7

Reading Eggs is a proven reading curriculum that grows with your child from first sounds to first chapter books. Grounded in the Science of Reading, your child will move through a structured learning path that teaches the five pillars of reading: phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension.

Designed by education experts to build real reading skills at every stage, interactive lessons meet your child exactly where they're at. So your child can start strong and progress at their own pace, building the confidence they need to move from learning to read to reading to learn.

Phonics Curriculum for Ages 5–10

Phonics is at the heart of Reading Eggs. The program uses a systematic synthetic phonics approach: teaching your child to blend individual letter sounds to read words, rather than relying on memorisation or guessing.

The core Reading Eggs program introduces phonics through sequenced lessons that start with single letter sounds and progress to blends, digraphs and more complex patterns. Fast Phonics provides a dedicated phonics program with structured peaks covering key phonics milestones.

Your child will learn to decode unfamiliar words with confidence: a skill that carries over into every subject, every book and every part of their education.

Math Curriculum for Ages 3–9

Mathseeds is included in your Reading Eggs subscription and provides a structured early maths curriculum for ages 3 to 9. Through interactive lessons, your child builds essential skills in number recognition, counting, addition, subtraction, patterns, shapes and early problem solving.

Like Reading Eggs, Mathseeds uses a placement test and map-based progression to keep your child working at the right level. Children then follow a personalised learning path that parents can adjust anytime to fit their child’s needs.

Together, these programs cover over 3,500 self-paced lessons and more than 4,000 e‑books across fiction, non‑fiction and decodable readers.

Built on the Science of Reading

Developed by experienced educators, Reading Eggs harnesses the power of the five foundational pillars of the Science of Reading:

icon-phonemic awareness

Phonemic Awareness:

Recognising and working with the individual sounds in spoken words.

icon-phonics

Phonics:

Connecting letters and letter patterns to the sounds they represent.

icon-vocabulary

Vocabulary:

Building a bank of words your child understands and can use.

icon-fluency

Fluency:

Reading smoothly and with confidence.

icon-comprehension

Reading Comprehension:

Understanding and making sense of what they read.

Evidence-based Approach

The program also uses the same evidence-based approach to break complex topics into manageable chunks. Every lesson builds on the one before it. Your child learns sounds and letters in a carefully planned sequence, followed by explicit instruction and interactive practice activities. So they build real reading skills and confidence you can see: 93% of children improve one year level in just 6 weeks.*

But it’s not just parents who notice the difference. Reading Eggs has earned an ESSA Level III certification for K–2 reading achievement, meaning an independent study has confirmed the program significantly improves reading outcomes.

Curriculum Packages with Workbooks

hs workbook green

Reading Eggs works best as a combination: the online program teaches the lessons, while the workbooks reinforce and extend that learning through hands-on practice. When your child writes by hand, they build handwriting skills and strengthen long-term memory — deepening their engagement with what they've learned.

Research from Vanderbilt University shows that the effects of learning through handwriting last longer than other learning experiences. That's why the workbooks are structured lesson-by-lesson to match exactly what your child learned that day in the program.

Each workbook builds handwriting skills, cements phonics patterns, and creates a tangible record of their learning as they go.

For homeschool families, workbooks also serve another purpose: they're portfolio evidence. You've got written proof of progression for assessments, records, and just as importantly your own piece of mind.
