"I
don't know of a better way for parents to get involved with
their kids' education than reading, and this program is a
great way to help. It shows parents exactly what to do, and
it doesn't take more than a few minutes of time." |

"I
believe any parent who would use this program would
experience success. Many of my students' parents want to
help their child learn to read, but they don't always know
where to start - how to make the correct sounds and how to
put them together. This program does just that!" |

"I've
seen proof that Hooked on Phonics works tremendously. Some
of my students were unable to sound out words, and now
they're reading whole books and loving it! Hooked on Phonics
has made all the difference in the world as far as their
wanting to read, and they don't ever want to stop!" |

"As
teachers and parents, we know that the strongest predictor
of a child's success in school and life is the amount of
time spent with nurturing adults. The second most important
predictor is reading. The new Hooked on Phonics - Learn to
Read Program combines both: It can lead you to spend more
time with your child, and it can help your child learn to
love to read." |

"Hooked
on Phonics is based on the latest research on reading... It
can help parents with the know-how, materials, and methods
to spend 15 minutes to a half hour each day giving children
the greatest gift of all-- the ability to read and learn on
their own." |

"Children
can benefit from a good phonics program along with real
books to read, integrating skills and practice that result
in reading success....The new design (of the program)
clearly reflects the work of parents, educators, and authors
who care about children and families." |
