Reading Eggs stylised as ABC Reading Eggs in Australia, is a subscription-based digital literacy program[1] aimed at improving reading skills in children aged 2 to 13.[2] Owned by 3P Learning,[3] Reading Eggs comprises five programs catering to different age groups, Reading Eggs Junior (ages 2–4), Reading Eggs (ages 3–8), Fast Phonics (ages 5–10), Reading Eggspress (ages 8–13) and Mathseeds (ages 3–9).

In 2019, Reading Eggs faced criticism for an inappropriate spelling lesson.[4] In 2020, concerns were raised it resembled a video game and lacking in instruction for children with disabilities.[5]

A 2020 study suggested the program's computer-based adaptive tasks and texts can improve reading self-efficacy and engagement.[6] A 2022 study reported positive effects on learners' phonological development when teachers incorporated Reading Eggs into their instructional practices.[7]

Reading Eggspress was reported to show promise as a supplementary tool for enhancing reading comprehension in children with autism, in a 2020 thesis study.[8]
