Hooked on Phonics: Learn to Read is an engaging and
easy-to-use phonics program that teaches children how to read in as little as
15 minutes per day. Lessons are consistent in format throughout the program,
where kids will first watch a DVD video lesson and complete a variety of fun
workbook activities. After practicing the sound combinations and words in the
lessons, students then pull everything together by reading a story. When each
lesson is finished, celebrate your child’s progress with reward stickers!
Preschoolers (Early Emergent Readers Levels 1 & 2) will
develop pre-reading skills through songs and hands-on workbook activities.
Topics covered include the alphabet, recognizing uppercase and lowercase,
tracing letter shapes, learning rhyming words, and identifying letter names and
sounds.
Kindergarteners (Emergent Readers Levels 3 & 4) will
review and then build on the foundational reading skills introduced at the
preschool levels. Topics covered include short vowels, CVC words, compound
words, and adding “-s” to nouns and verbs. Sight words are also introduced and
children will begin to read short stories.
First grade (Transitional Readers Levels 5 & 6) reviews
what was learned in the kindergarten levels, covers more difficult letter
combinations, and introduces more challenging stories. Beginning and ending
consonant blends are emphasized, as well as suffixes, two-syllable words, and
36 new sight words.
Second graders (Early Fluent Readers Levels 7 &
8) will enter the final stage of the program where they will be able to read
all by themselves. At these levels, vowel teams, complex consonant blends,
diphthongs, two-syllable words, r-controlled words, and other more advanced
concepts are covered. New two-syllable words and sight words are also
introduced.
Each Kit includes 2 DVDs, 2 workbooks, 6-12
storybooks, sticker packs, and online access to interactive videos, games, and
activities for that grade.
Learn, practice, read, and celebrate as your child develops
a strong foundation in phonics and reading skills with the Hooked on
Phonics: Learn to Read program!
