              @King Steuart: Not many 4yos go to school these day. Mostly they have to have turned 5 by June that school year and many of the younger ones get held back to the next year so they’ll be the eldest in their grade. Mine will be 5 and a half when he starts the first year of school - prep in QLD.

      Schools paid $23.50 this year for mathletics & reading eggs. Our local primary school handballs the cost.

      • ChickenTalon on 20/09/2023 - 20:03

        Hope very little money goes to Mathletics. That app is really showing its age, it feels about 10 years old with Super Nintendo type graphics. Needs a complete rebuild, it’s very hard to navigate and has to be reset quite often. Reading eggs is so much better.

        Anyone recommend a good alternative to Mathletics? Mathseeds any good?

        • mnic on 20/09/2023 - 21:26
          +1

          Given they are owned by the same business, the money goes to them regardless. Mathletics hasn’t changed in many years for many reasons. There are more things to choose from now though with things like Matific for younger kids etc.

        • spamj on 20/09/2023 - 22:10
          +3

          Mathseeds is amazing. I stopped sending my 7yo to Kumon - for some reason he hated doing 400 handwritten math questions every day. He did Mathletics last year but he's much happier with Mathseeds. My 3yo has been sucked into Mathseeds too and can already do some basic arithmetic — seeing such rapid progress makes it really hard as a parent to willingly enforce screen time limits

            @spamj: Screen time is not good sign. Kids will start relying on device and without one can’t write or do maths on paper. It is not a replacement for proper maths lessons in class nor tutoring

            Young kids loving the interaction and colourful stuff then when it’s the real thing fails to perform because apparently it’s a piece of paper…

            • spamj on 22/09/2023 - 21:22

              @neonlight: Agree 100%. That's why I try to complement with physical workbooks - although unfortunately that needs much more sticker chart bribery.
              My 3yo also started doing Fast Phonics and Reading Eggs a month ago, and is now starting to read basic decodable readers (physical books)

            • boretentsu on 20/03/2024 - 17:16

              @neonlight: Conceptually speaking, as a white collar worker that uses Microsoft 365, I don't remember the last time I needed to physically write down a maths problem or report. Our handwriting is getting poorer and poorer. Should this actually be a problem at all? How important should it be in 5,10,20 years time?

              • neonlight on 20/03/2024 - 20:18

                @boretentsu: Well I consider it a life learning skill. Also you never can say you don't need it assuming kids don't need to do writing at all. We can always use the tech stuff but the core fundamentals are not learnt you won't get anywhere. Sure there will be Ai but they make yourself more lazy and dumber. You don't think for yourself any more and rely on technology and eventually loss of creativity but not being able to write. Nobody knows the future so better to be safe than sorry

                • Yekul on 20/03/2024 - 20:36
                  +1

                  @neonlight: Arguably though, being propped up and 'relying' on technology has only made us more creative.

                  Personally I rarely write things down anymore, and the times I do it is only because of a mundane process at work that is outdated and far slower than using a digital version. I don't want my child to not be able to handwrite at all of course, but i'd far prefer them to be proficient at touch typing versus being able to scribble down an essay as fast as possible in handwriting for some arbitrary reason.

                  • boretentsu on 29/03/2024 - 00:22

                    @Yekul: I agree with this. It doesn't make you any more or less lazy than you were innately. People you deem "not lazy" will repurpose the time to do something else just as if not more productive.

                • boretentsu on 29/03/2024 - 00:19

                  @neonlight: I'm pretty sure people said that about the loom. Yes writing has been around for a long time. You might even say that it has benefits for helping mentally retain content but there's nothing necessarily sacred about it. We were riding horses for millennia until last century. Now only 0.01% of the population know how to ride one. Are we poorer for it?

                  The point is, yes it's a skill but don't get hung up if your kid is not writing well. What's important is that they can actually communicate in written format, regardless of what medium that written format is in.

            • 811b11e8 on 19/09/2024 - 10:08

              @neonlight: I know screen time isn't great, and bumping a year-old thread isn't great either, but my cancer kid, who is less than 2 years old, loves Reading Eggs.

              It's taught her to read basic numbers and letters.

              She now reads the numbers on the lifts at the hospital, and I can tell her which button to press.

              She also reads the numbers on the thermometers when the nurses take her OBS. 36.2 might be 3-6-2 to her, but it's cool that she is getting used to numbers in the real world.

              She also reads the numbers on the hospital beds…

              It's a pretty great app when you have a really sick kid who cannot run around.

              They can even learn to read numbers before their second birthday which is a cool party trick.

        • mataeka on 21/09/2023 - 12:19

          I've not tried mathletics or mathseeds with my kids - but prodigy held my kids interest for a bit in a maths capacity.

          Further to that - just binge watching numberblocks on youtube was insanely good for basic maths.

    • superroach on 20/09/2023 - 21:38

      So others know, the schools that do this means that there is a few limits outside of school, on the kinds of books but more importantly the hours its free is like 8am to 4pm.

    • AustriaBargain on 20/03/2024 - 18:16

      $168 a year for software per student at school should be pretty cheap really, considering part of a formal education? I bet the government saves by buying in bulk.

      I've heard reading eggs is not perfect, though people do love it and benefit form it, so if it's supplemental to however they teach reading at schools right now and it helps a kid read better then $168 gotta be worth it. Government should really be developing their own better apps and make them free in Australia and charge $$$ for them around the world. We aren't that kind of country though, our wealth comes in the form of on paper value for existing houses.

          Correct. You share same sign up email and password. Once you login, select your child's profile and off you go. Very rarely need to sign in as the app stays signed in

    If you reframe this as cheap and fun tutoring, the value aspect goes through the roof. My 5 year old reads decently well because of this app, and her maths and other skills have improved dramatically. Well worth the cost.

      tbh, at 2 and a half - way too young to get much from the app in my experience. I tried with my maybe 3, 3.5 year old with a free trial and he maybe learnt some letters. Used it as a 6 year through school and it was really beneficial then.

      I can add to this, ours is 4 and we use it inconsistently through a shared account, A lot of people are against it and say “it’s all about free play at this age” which I also don’t disagree with, but my one gets at least 7 hrs of free play a day so I don’t think 20mins of introducing phonics is going to hurt, and will build confidence in reading. We also read actual books as well.

      The ABC reading eggs has been fantastic for us, she can recognize numbers 1-10, letters A-Z, basic words like dog, cat, or names of colors. In the real world she press the button we ask for on a lift, or press a specific letter on a physical keyboard if asked.

      We have read many books, but she just remembers the whole book instead of trying to read the words. For example, at night she will "read books" she can see in her room without even touching them. Ive heard the babychino days of week book so many times I think I'm going crazy she just repeats it at night, or she will start "reading" the next page before I've even flipped the page…

      She can recall most of the books in this list https://www.kumon-english-rrl.com/read-together.html pretty much 1-41 she as memorized.

    It shows it's for 4 kids.. I'm happy to go into this with others and we split the cost :)

    Reading Eggs is actually terrible for teaching young kids to read. Take it from someone with a 7yo behind the rest of his class in reading and writing. It reinforces bad habits and rewards guessing.

    Spend the money on Decodable Readers instead. It's not gamified but it actually teaches reading.
