Benefit outweighed problems – Hooked on Phonics Learn & Read Review

This app has a lot a problems, and a few glitches and outright errors here and there, but we used it for the better part of a year with our son and, well, it worked very well. He’s 5 years old and reads somewhere between a 2nd and 3rd grade level. The app is very expensive but there is an awful lot of material that it offers. It’s very simple and repetitive but, if anything, that’s probably a large part of why its so useful. The animations are very nice as well....and I have to admit the songs about letters between lessons were catchy. If you homeschool or are supplementing for your kindergarten / pre-school age children then I recommend this very flawed, yet effective piece of software.
