Teri, a mother of two incoming kindergarteners, uses this trusted program to build strong reading skills.
If your child is struggling with reading and their school lessons don’t seem to be enough to help them to grasp the skills, then consider the Hooked on Phonics Reading Program. It is simple to use and does not require you to be licensed teacher. Lessons are put together for you, so all you have to do is read and implement each lesson with your child.
My children are so excited to bring home library books that they can read all on their own. It is heartwarming to watch them discover literature. It also makes me believe I am doing something right as a parent.
The Hooked On Phonics Learn to Read Kit is a resource that cultivates my children’s desires to read on their own.
We are using the first section of the kit as a speedy review concepts from the last year or so. Although these are not new topics, the Hooked On Phonics workbooks include activities, lessons, game suggestions, and illustrations that excite the children. As a result, they are engaged and eager to earn a star to stick on the page.
I integrate the decks of flash cards into lessons, especially in the early levels. Before ever using the cards as suggested by the workbooks, my daughter decided to pour them out, mix them up, match the lowercase letter with the appropriate uppercase letter, then alphabetize them. She sat quietly and intently for nearly 15 minutes, which put a huge smile on this momma’s face.
If you are looking to increase your child’s library, you will increase it by 36 with the kit. Pulling out all the books for just one of the sections makes my daughters beam with excitement. I admit, I am pretty stoked myself to see so many books included in the set. This reading problem is a fantastic and useful investment for any family with young children. It is one of the best systems I have seen and used as an all-in-one reading curriculum.
Teaching my daughters to read now feels less stressful and more rewarding. I see their excitement the second I pull out the workbook, DVD or books.
This is exactly how learning and teaching should be.
Highlights of the Hooked on Phonics Program
Not every new educational resource I introduce to my daughters adds excitement to their learning time. It’s hit or miss, like with most kids. The Learn to Read Kit is recommended for students ages 3 to 8 years old, which allows parents and teachers to have a reading curriculum for multiple years, depending on how their child or students excel.
That alone makes the kit totally worth the investment.
The Hooked on Phonics Reading Kit is separated into four sections by age group, from Preschool to 2nd grade. Each section includes:
Step-by-step instruction for the parent
Two (2) DVDs that are contemporary, colorful, and full of fun and catchy tunes
Several books for both parent-to-child reading and independent reading, which allows students to steadily excel in reading
Star stickers for marking pages as completed (a kid favorite!!)
Two (2) workbooks that include many units with letter identification, writing, rhyming, reading, blending, and more, providing several reading lessons
The kit also includes one large activity pad and flash cards to supplement lessons
My girls are becoming better readers by using this kit. We’ve covered rhyming words, beginning and ending sounds, and an introduction to work families. At the end of a lesson, the girls tell me they like the stories. I highly recommend the Hooked On Phonics Learn to Read Kit for any family with children learning to read.
