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!!

I ordered this program for my…granddaughter I ordered this program for my granddaughter who was struggling in school due to her poor reading skills. her school does not teach phonics anymore or how to sound out words they just expected her to remember to words. Hook on phonics has been amazing we work on it the entire summer it was super easy to use and they made it fun for her she greatly improved in her reading she is in the 4th grade this year has is almost where she needs to be now. I would recommend this to anyone it is the best thing I could have ever done for my granddaughter.

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.

The content is great but the animation… The content is great but the animation makes some of the letter confusing. Like the Q and g and odd. Also the app itself is a little buggy sometimes. Makes you repeat modules when you’ve previously completed. The animation isn’t that exciting to my 5 year old anymore

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.
