My 7 year old loves Reading Kingdom. He asks to go on-line and use this program frequently. It's fun, interactive and best of all children walk away actually learning! We have tried various "learning" programs and my son has gotten bored of them and didn't want to go back and use them. The Reading Kingdom has so much to offer whether your child is homeschooled or goes to public school.  For instance the image above the child is asked which word is correct and they have to type it at the bottom of the screen. Not only does the child have to sound out the word, read it but learn how to spell it and use the keyboard on the computer keypad!

8-8-12004 An example of how they teach child word recognition: they asked my son how to spell girl. He spelled it incorrectly so instead of saying he was incorrect they used several fun methods how to spell the word. Alot of repetition and now he will not forget how to spell girl!

We will be using this program weekly to incorporate into our homeschooling. I especially like it because my son loves to play computer and electronic games which most do not have much substance in them, with Reading Kingdom he is learning and feels like he is having fun at the same time!
