Read books
Every lesson ends with a new book. This allows children to gain confidence by reading books that only contain words they have already learned in the program.
Earn rewards
Children earn golden eggs as rewards for completing lessons. They can use these eggs to buy reward games, avatar features to customize their own avatar and items to personalize their virtual playhouse.
