Reading Eggs
A subscription-based sight which guides your child through fun reading lessons, only letting them advance to a new level when they've mastered the earlier concepts.. Primarily takes a "whole language" approach to teaching reading, but includes some phonics instruction too. The site is based in Australia, and uses Australian English rather than US English, but it's barely noticeable.
Between the Lions
