Are you looking for a great learn-to-read curriculum? Do you have a child that needs more reinforcement in their phonics?  Are you trying to find an educational app for them to use during their screen time? Or maybe you are looking for a program to supplement your current reading curriculum? We have used Reading Eggs and Mathseeds from Reading Eggs since our very first year of homeschooling. It is a versatile online program that a wide range of children can use.

Reading Eggs Junior

My youngest son, who is 2, uses Reading Eggs Junior. It is designed for ages 2-4. My son loves watching the fun videos that teach him a variety of skills and it is great for learning beginning reading skills. There are read-aloud books, alphabet games, songs and phonemic awareness activities.  My son really enjoys watching the videos, including a cute one about a tractor.

My 5 year old and 8 year old use Math Seeds as a fun addition to their math curriculum. It is great at practising their math skills. Math Seeds is for ages 3-9 and it is pack full of fun educational math games to help build your children’s math skills.

Reading Eggspress

My 8 year old son is now starting to use Reading Eggspress, as it is for children ages 7-13. It includes a placement test followed with lots of great reading activities. There are literacy games and online children’s books.

Fast Phonics

Both my 5 year old and 8 year old enjoyed the newer program, Fast Phonics. It is for children agree 5-10. My sons loved the novelty of climbing different mountain peaks to earn prizes.

There are 20 levels where your child learns phonic skills including letter-sound recognition, blending and spelling.  Each level (or peak) has over 20 activities and includes decodable books.  After reading each book, your child will complete a comprehension quiz.

Tracking Progress and Worksheets

There is also a great parent interface so you can track your child’s progress through the programs along with hundreds of worksheets. However, since Fast Phonics is new, the tracking is not quite ready to be used.  

Our Recommendation

The amount of resources and activities in Reading Eggs and Mathseeds from Reading Eggs is endless.  It is perfect for any level of reader from ages 2-12, and I highly recommend it for your home.  Even if you don’t homeschool, I would recommend Reading Eggs is a great educational tool to help encourage your child to read and practise their reading skills.  Be sure to check out what other Homeschool Review Team members have to say.

Ranching with Kids
Though I spend most of my days multi-tasking betwe Though I spend most of my days multi-tasking between all the tasks of being a mom, I tend to get my BEST work done outside in the fresh air. There is just no better place to be with three young boys than outside, running off all their energy and living life on the ranch! Who agrees?
Wow! Winter came in with a blast! We are now feedi Wow! Winter came in with a blast! We are now feeding hay once per day to our 2 year olds and a few of the older cows. We will soon start feeding the cow herd hay as well. But right now, the cow herd is grazing some amazing grass that we had saved for when the snow arrived. We also supplement them with protein tubs to make sure they get sufficient protein as the grass may not have quite enough protein this time of year. 

PS - This is one of the photos in our 2023 calendar, which we are now taking orders for.
What a busy week and it’s not over yet! Between What a busy week and it’s not over yet! Between hauling square bales, moving sheep fence, helping the boys with their show projects, checking hay, running the boys back and forth to the tractor for their “turns” baling hay, beef deliveries, tending to the garden, and doing all the other mom tasks, every day has been full. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. Being a mom on the ranch to three incredible boys is so special. Watching their keenness, enthusiasm and love of life is the reason why I do what I do. However. I have to admit, I am not sure how to keep up to their energy level sometimes. They don’t tire out!
We check the cattle on our summer pastures on a re We check the cattle on our summer pastures on a regular basis throughout the entire summer. This is important so that we can ensure that the animals are healthy and have adequate water and salt.  It is also very necessary to check the condition of the pasture to help us determine when the cattle need to be moved to maintain, and often to continue to improve, the land and the grassland ecosystem.

I felt like I was constantly getting discouraged as we couldn't stop the lambs from getting out of their fenced pasture.  Then, I reflected on what I have been learning on social media by watching other sheep producers. This gave me a fresh outlook and I was able to figure out a new solution for all of the sheep to help better manage their large pasture and keep the lambs contained.  Everything changed, and all it took was a new perspective.  I didn't need to continue doing things the way that I had been.  Sometimes we just need a new perspective. Do you agree?
I will be the first to say that I was a bit scepti I will be the first to say that I was a bit sceptical about using electric fence for our sheep as I haven’t had the best experience in the past.  However, I am now 100% confident in using it while increasing our grazing potential for sheep on our operation. We currently use 2 sets of the electronet with the energizer from @fencefast_ .  I was amazed with how well it is keeping the sheep in, even when it is placed within tall grass. It is helping to protect the ewes with lambs from predators and allowing us to rotational graze the pasture. We are resting some areas of the pasture that have been grazed heavier and grazing areas that have a lot of grass that needs to be used.
