I really like this program but… I really like this program but sometimes it gets stuck and all the letters or words are jumbled up on top of each other and it often freezes. I was advised that downloading the lesson first would help. My child has fun reading the books that mirror the lessons and I think it has improved his confidence.

This program doesn’t engage my 4 yr old… This program doesn’t engage my 4 yr old nearly enough- and to be honest, it confuses him when he has to match sounds to a certain box when the animals indicated on those boxes DONT have the same sounds as the letters. I feel this could be improved!!

Really helped my girl with autism My daughter has autism, and we had been working on reading for a awhile now. She was able to somewhat sound out words, but we were having trouble getting her to put words together to form a sentence. It was like each word was a stand alone word. When we started hooked on phonics, it is like something clicked. The sentences are starting to flow, and she is starting to comprehend what she is reading. We definitely recommend Hooked on Phonics!

Beware the "Easy Cancellation". Beware the "Easy Cancellation". I just received the program this week and discovered I will not be tutoring my nephew after all. I have been completely unable to cancel through the company. They don't offer cancellation as an option, so you have to go to Customer help. Then you have to deal with the bots where you're offered a menu of articles you can read. When you indicate you want to interact (not "speak") with an agent in online chat they say they will EMAIL me when an agent is available & online. LOLOLOLOL! Thank goodness I signed up through Paypal where I can manage my autopays without Hooked on Phonics' interaction because it is clear they will try to delay or avoid any cancellation.

My kids are not interested My kids are not interested. It’s not very interactive. It keeps repeating the same pattern. I also tried to cancel it, it shows inactive and I was still charged. Anyhow, I went in again and see, it is active in different access and when I try to cancel it, it says you signed up through the app blah blah, which I tried looking in all places there isn’t any subscription. So this isn’t a simple cancel anytime. Just so you know, it’s more of a headache than a help.
