The fun, colorful, and easy-to-use Hooked on Phonics program has been around for many years, undergoing consistent improvements in organization and content. Each grade-level kit contains a DVD, workbook, several readers, and reward stickers. Along with the DVD content, all sets include access to My.HookedonPhonics.com, which includes online streaming of all videos, plus bonus content (worksheets, songs, etc.). The workbooks are high quality and visually interesting. Engaging Storybooks represent different authors and illustrators (some of them award-winning), which makes the program more attractive for developing readers.
Most lessons will take about 20 minutes and are formatted the same way: Watch the DVD lesson, then read the corresponding pages in the workbook. After practicing the words, students read a story, then “celebrate” with a reward sticker. Grade-level kits contain two smaller boxes with materials organized by levels. The PK Grade Level Kit contains Level 1 and 2, and you may also purchase the levels separately: Level 1 Uppercase Letters and beginning sounds or Level 2 Lowercase Letters and beginning sounds.
