Reviews of Hooked On Phonics

So you're looking for a good curriculum to teach your child to read, and you've heard about Hooked on Phonics. You may even already know that they have way more than just reading products. Yes, you can even learn math, science and other subjects from the Hooked on Phonics company. You might not have heard about their electronic game called the Hooked On Phonics Touch Screen Learner. I know, what you really want right now is reviews of the products.

Well, let's discuss reviews of Hooked on Phonics products. Like everything else, you can't please everyone. However, in reading various reviews and more importantly, testimonials, I have seen more positives than negatives when it comes to Hooked on Phonics. There is some academic bickering about whether or not the technique is exactly 'right' but I prefer to read the testimonials. The bottom line is that lots of parents who struggled to get their child to read, found success using the Hooked on Phonics curriculum. The only other downside that I found was the cost. At about $200 for the complete program, some found it too expensive. Fortunately, you can also get used copies at discounted prices.
