User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Wonderful Product!
This Learn to Read program gave my six year old son a huge boost in his reading skills and confidence. He enjoyed the lessons and books and especially the reward stickers!

4 Stars Good, but not as good kindergarten edition
My 4 year old went through the kindergarten edition in about 6 weeks so I ordered the first grade edition. It’s the same process as the kindergarten edition- learn the sounds, read the review words and the story, and learn the helper words. The stories are longer so lessons take a longer time to do. The only problem I found was with the CD. The lady is speaking much faster and my child had trouble keeping up. We’re not using the CD in this first time around. If my child masters the lessons well, we might use it in the second time we go through this. Other than the CD, we had no problems with the HOP’s first grade edition.

4 Stars good product
Good product.

Kids seem to like it, but get bored within 15-20 minutes, but I do see a lot of progress…

A definate would buy again! I figure 15-20 mins with progress is great! Better than otehr things we have tried where they refuse to do it at all………

5 Stars Great Reading Tool
The HOP series is a great tool for teaching children to read. It introduces a lot of phonics, but also sight words

(high frequency words.) My son just turned 4 and he completed the Kindergarten box and is half way through the 1st grade box. But he can now read mini-chapter books we get at the Library, i.e. I Can Read series.

This is a good guide for helping parents know where to start. However, you have to get other books at the library or bookstore to read at least 15-20 minutes additional each day to really build confidence and comprehension.

5 Stars Amazing Results!
Hooked on Phonics Learn to Read is a wonderful way to spark a child’s love for reading! It offered a motivation for our son using both the progress charts/stickers and a gradual change in the level of difficulty that we could not find elsewhere. He successfully completed the Kindergarten Edition and is now reading the chapter books in the 1st grade HOP program with confidence. The stories have all been age appropriate with wonderful content. Thanks to HOP, we feel ready for our 1st grade year!
