  • This has helped my son so much!

    My son was behind in reading and it was a struggle trying to teach him myself. But after just 1 week of doing the Hooked on Phonics lessons, I saw such a huge improvement!! I love the way the program is structured and how they make it fun for the kids. It’s been a month now and I am so proud of how far my son has come. I’m a huge believer in Hooked on Phonics and recommend it to anyone!!!

  • We love hooked on phonics!

    I enjoy the simplicity of the program, it is easy for me to do with my 3 year old.
    My daughter enjoys the games on the app, we sing the songs together and it is very fun!
    The books are AWESOME.
    She could only recognize two letters before we began and now she can recognize letter names AND sounds of 18 letters!

  • My son started reading words within the hour!

    My 4yo started on the learning to read section and was reading the words in the small books by the end of the lesson. I could hardly believe it, it happened so fast!
  • Great app - a suggestion

    My 3 year old has been using the app for a few months and it (along with our phonics work-practice if individual letter sounds) is helping her start to blend. The lessons progress well by teaching kids word families. The one area I would improve is the pronunciation of the short letter sounds. I would remove the “uh” sound from letters like /b/ /c/ /p/ /h/ etc. I think the “uh” sound makes it more difficult for kids to blend as they progress in their reading development.

  • Reading at 3

    I started Hooked on Phonics with my granddaughter when she was 3 years old. We actually started because I care for her 8 hours a day and I didn’t want her watching television all the time. It was really just something to do but low and behold the child learned to read. I have to admit that now she is 4 the app doesn’t appeal to her anymore but she still loves the notebooks and reading books. I photocopy the pages in the workbooks so she can do them over and over again. It is a wonderful program. Just go at your own pace with no expectations and you will see something wonderful happen.

    Developer Response

    Thank you for your review! We are so thrilled to hear that your granddaughter is seeing success with our program and getting excited about reading!
  • Love this app, but a few wrong pronunciations

    I still recommend this app, it’s amazing! But you guys need to check a few pronunciations on the learn to read section. Specifically “bed” in the Ed section was just wrong. I have heard a few other words that were pronounced a little rough too.
  • Terrible

    The app keeps asking for a new account and a subscription even when I already have one
  • This is heaven sent

    Since having hooked on phonics my son has been doing well with learning he loves the app as well. He went from no interest at all in reading to loving to read I absolutely love this app. He loves doing the workbook as well.
  • Disappointed in the new version

    The new version is glitchy and in order to even open the program I have to delegate and reinstall the app! I also noticed that this new version has a lot of distractions. My daughter keeps getting distracted by the different animals and their movements and the progression is confusing. This app helped my son learn to read 5 years ago, it was amazing. The changes are so disappointing.

  • So helpful

    This app was so helpful for my daughter. She is in an immersion school and was having trouble with reading English. She was behind even for an immersion setting. This got her excited about learning to read and helped her catch up to her peers. Very glad we did it.
