Reading Eggs Supports Elementary Childhood Literacy Education

New York, NY, September 13, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Reading Eggs, a leading online reading program for children with more than 500,000 subscribers in the United States and Canada, announces a special initiative just in time for Back to School – two complimentary weeks of its specialized skills program for all new users of its service.

The free two-week trial offer includes access to hundreds of lesson plans that focus on a core reading curriculum of phonics and sight words using skills and strategies essential for sustained reading success.

Reading Eggs’ aim is to help as many children throughout the world as possible to learn to read and love reading through its creative approach to reading skills. According to the NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress), children’s literacy remains an active challenge in the United States. Two-thirds of students entering high school were designated as not proficient readers with only one-third of 8th-grade students able to read proficiently at grade level. Reading Eggs believes that part of the solution to this literary crisis can be reached by supporting preadolescent literacy education. Children who form strong reading habits in childhood develop the tools that become the foundation for future school and career successes.

More information on how to access the two-week offer of the online reading program is available at http://readingeggs.com or by contacting support@readingeggs.com.
