Each lesson concludes with a story specially written with the words just learned. Your child will read this book, proudly, on their own.

If your child is in Pre-K, has not quite mastered the alphabet and letter sounds, or they are struggling with Step 1 of the Learn to Read program, the Pre-reader section may be a good place to start. The Pre-reader section is an exciting preschool learning program that introduces pre-readers to the alphabet and letter sounds – critical skills they’ll need to begin Step 1 of the Learn to Read program.

Practice Packs Mailed Home:
What sets Hooked on Phonics apart from other reading apps is the option to include complementary Practice Packs (additional purchase required) that help a child develop concepts of print, reinforce the lessons learned in the app, and give instructions for hands-on ideas for deeper learning at home. Built by education experts with feedback from our customers, the Practice Pack program includes 5 Pre-reader, and 15 Learn to Read packs that include workbooks, stickers, storybooks, and in the first Pre-reader pack, flashcards that are sent to the home, monthly. Users can customize how often they receive these shipments through their account dashboard to tailor the pacing to each family’s needs. Created in conjunction with the App, the Practice Packs allow children to engage in different modalities of learning, review the skills they’ve gained in the App, and practice hands-on skills—like writing and tracing—that can’t be mastered in a digital setting. The result is an immersive program of learning experiences that keeps kids highly engaged in learning to read.

Ratings and reviews

We started using the app a few weeks ago, and it is working quite well. We use it approximately 2-3 times a week for about 30 minutes each time to assist in supplementing what our child is learning in school. She enjoys the interaction and has already improved in her reading. She feels quite proud when she reads the book at the end of each section. We have appreciated the content. They sent materials to our home, yet we have not used this, so we paused that part of it.

Worst thing... Ironically my son left this review. He gets horribly frustrated with the app as he selects the correct answer and it replies that it was the incorrect answer. This can happen multiple times before it registers the answer as correct even tho selecting the correct one all along. It definitely has helped him read, I will give you that. However, due to his level of frustration with the app issues, it is very difficult to encourage him to use it.

I honestly may look for another app that does what I'm looking for. The pre read section needs the ability to click on letters/ pictures and hear it as many times as you want. Then once the kid feels confident they are hearing and understanding the right sound then they can drag the letter to where it goes. Also, to say lion every time you click on lion for example. Without this feature, the kid is just guessing instead of actually making a learning connection. Big big bummer. This needs change
