You know the crazy Hooked on Phonics commercials where the child says. "Hooked on Phonics worked for me!"? I don't know if they even show those commercials any more, but they used to drive me nuts. Anyway, I found that by signing up for Hooked On Phonics updates, I am notified of great sales. I bought a pre-k & 1st grade kit with workbooks, etc for $14.95 each. Then, I was notified of a sale for the Spanish one. The Yellow beginner's edition was on sale for $19.95. I got that one, and the girls have done BEAUTIFULLY!!! I am very impressed. However, for those of you who are interested in the Spanish version, go to Ebay. You can find the 3 level program there for $27. They went through the yellow level quickly, but we can still us it as a review later. Now, I have ordered the one on Ebay so they can start level 2. It is very interactive with the CD-ROM that includes games. Since HOP (Hooked on Phonics) did so well on the Spanish & the kits, I have decided to check out their reading program. Jaden will start on it as soon as it come in the mail, and I will keep you updated on the success of the program. I decided to just get the Pre-K & K programs for a total cost of $50. However, you can buy Pre-K through 2nd Grade for $120. The reason I didn't go with the big package is because it doesn't come with as many CD-ROM's, and that seems to be what hasthem excited to learn (and not knowing they are learning something).
