TOP TIPS FOR USING READING EGGS

As a teacher, you can assign comprehension lessons or any Library book to your students through “Manage Assignments” in your teacher centre. This is a great opportunity for students to get a head start on a concept before class. For example, if you are planning a lesson on Oceans, assign the ‘Oceans’ Comprehension Lesson or assign chapter 1 of the book for students to read for homework beforehand.

Flipped Classroom

Blended Learning

Although online learning is fast becoming the new norm, we can’t forget the importance and effectiveness of putting pen to paper. That’s why Reading Eggs and Reading Eggspress encourage a blended learning approach. The main learning pathways of ‘Lessons’ for Reading Eggs and Reading Eggspress are just the tip of the iceberg. There is a huge range of printable resources within the teacher centre, with book notes and worksheets for many library books and big books. Take your Reading Eggs journey offline for a truly blended learning approach.
