Any suggestions on hooked on phonics?

Question

I have 2 kids, a 3 year old and a 5 year old. the 5 year is now starting to learn to read and I am very excited cause he just read a little to me.. I was wondering if getting Hooked on Phonics was a good idea for both my kids. I want to improve his reading and have a jump start for my 3 year old.

thanks in advance

Answer 1

i dont think hooked on phonics is good.  There is a cpu program i forget the name i beleive its "JUMP START" then whatever age your kid is...that is very good

Answer 2

I've seen Hooked on Phonics in practice and it really seemed to work.  I was watching 4 1/2 - 5 year olds reading simple sentences and they were excited about it.  I was astounded!  I was a preschool teacher and it was offered at the center with a private teacher.  If you stick with it and foster a love for reading at home, it will help a lot!!  Anything you can do in todays world to get your child ahead is great!  Just don't put too much pressure on them for success!  Good luck!

Answer 3

Answer 4

Try this site first and you may not need that. I gave this to several people who told me how effective it was for their child or children.

Answer 5

Read to your children evey day--at nap time, bed time, and any other time you can. There is no reading program that will improve your child's love of reading more than you reading to your child.
