Reading Eggs #2

This term we have started with a new reading program called Reading Eggspress or Reading eggs for short. This is where you can enhance your comprehension, reading skills, and get faster at other things.

I recently asked my teacher, Mr Barks “What is the comprehension gym? Is it a place where you answer questions or maybe even do some activities?”

“Yes, you will need to make sure you get at least 12 answers right to move on to the next book” He replied.

There are several things you have to do first such as, labelling things, assessing if the book is fiction or nonfiction and many other tasks.  At the end you answer 16 questions and get a percentage. I am currently on stage 3-4.

Next we have the stadium. The stadium is a place where you solve problems within sentences such as, what is the verb, adjective or noun.? You have two options which are to challenge someone around the world or simply challenge the computer. It gives you a limit of one minute to do each thing. I’m on level two which is average for me but still it challenges me to enhance my knowledge of words and sentences.

Now for the library. This of course, is where you read a book of your choice and answer questions at the end.  Trust me when I say that some of these questions are TOUGH!  I am still eager to read new books and responding to the difficult questions. This is a great place where you can get better at, you guessed it...READING.

One day you should try this program and I guarantee your kids or students will surely acknowledge their skills. Here is the link to the website.
