What is ABC Reading Eggs?
ABC Reading Eggs is an online reading program that makes learning essential reading skills a fun and
motivating experience for 3–7 year olds.
The program can help a wide range of students to become proficient readers. The diagnostic test and
student management tools enable teachers to place students at different reading levels within the
program.
Using ABC Reading Eggs in the Classroom
Students can use ABC Reading Eggs at school and at home. Use ABC Reading Eggs at school and set
it for homework too. 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.

to the text personally by considering their own or
others personal experiences

mental images to form unique interpretations, to
clarify text and to remain engaged with the text.

of the text to ensure students develop a deeper
understanding of the content.
• Summarising: Students are asked to summarise
the text in a succinct way and to recount it to their
peers.

critically about the text and if it is cohesive and
makes sense.
