Hooked on Phonics Does Work?

Well, Hooked on Phonics has helped millions of  kids from around the world by giving them the encouragement and success they needed to overcome reading problems. They are best known for their introduction of the Learn to Read program which focuses on teaching phonics which is basically associating letters with sounds they represent.

The step by step teaching method makes sure the lessons are short, not more than 20 minutes, but engaging for the reader to make learning fun.

The company that created these wonderful products began to introduce the Learn to Read teaching method in 1987. Since that time the company has grown and added new products, expanded their vision and upgraded their programs to include use on computers by kids.

In 2001 the day care chain, Kinder Care began a partnership with Hooked on Phonics to use their material in the child care facilities.

Since that time, Hooked on Phonics products have continued to win awards for their excellence in providing excellent training materials for kids pre k to second grade. They have won the prestigious National Parenting Seal of Approval, the Teachers Choice Award and the Curriculum Administrator Districts Choice Award.

The company continues to update and upgrade the teaching system, making sure that the children they service can easily learn from all of  their products. Since the introduction of the Learn to Read program, Hooked on Phonics has added other programs that teach critical reading, study skills and math. All of these courses are perfect for a child who is having problems learning or any child who is eager to learn above his grade level.
