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]
