Hooked On Phonics: The App

I am a Hooked on Phonics kid. I spent hours and hours leveling up through the various audio, visual, and computer activities of learning how to read through grasping the basics of the phonetic system. I've since grown up, but I'm not alone in my maturation. Hooked on Phonics now includes an app that creates a gateway to more digital content for learners. 

Hooked on Phonics is a method of learning to read that focuses on the sounds that individual letters and syllables make. In the Program there are 8 steps a new reader can level up through from the first stage beginning in pre-K at ages 3-4, up to the final stage concluding in second grade at ages 7-8. Traditionally, the Hooked on Phonics kit came with flashcards, audio tapes, and a CD-ROM for each level. With the introduction of the HoP app, the entire program has become not only more streamlined, but expanded.

The app promises to get children excited about reading with over 100 reading videos and musical reading accompaniments. In addition to these videos, the app boasts almost 300 interactive games for children to apply the knowledge they've gained though the program. The app also gives children and parents access to over 70 eBooks that are fully illustrated. Syncing with all of your devices, whether a phone, tablet or computer, the app it is available at home or on the go.
