Reading Kingdom (youtube video) - The Reading Kingdom is an online program designed to teach children, aged 4-10, the skills of reading and writing. Reading Kingdom was founded by Dr. Marion Blank and her son, Jonathan Blank, is the flagship product of Mojo Learning Inc., who are based in Las Vegas, Nevada. On the Reading Kingdom homepage we see several recommendations and glowing reviews of the Reading Kingdom program by highly qualified individuals such as university teachers which gives it a degree of authority. One major issue for UK and Australian libraries with anything to do with spelling is that the US spells certain words differently to the UK and Australia. So although as adults most of us can discern between English and US spelling it may become a hard habit to break for any child learning any US variations of words. It does depend of course whether you care if your child uses 'ise' or 'ize' as these days it seems to not matter. I personally prefer to use the UK spelling but this may be a generational trait.

I see a lot of white lines with illegible text in this post, dean. Can you please fix it?
