Hooked on Phonics Update
By: Keith
Below is a video of Alan, my 5 year old, doing his Master Reader lesson from Hooked on Phonics. He read the first chapter earlier in the day, and I was so proud of him that I asked him if he wouldn’t mind doing it again for the camera. The green level represents the end of the second (of four) level in Master Reader. I wrote a review of the Master Reader program, along with the other HOP products, a while ago; if you’re interested in homeschooling or just want your kid to have some extra practice, maybe my insight will be helpful. The K-2nd grade levels are top notch, and Master Reader just continues that excellence for further practice and confidence.
I was introduced to Hooked on Phonics through a friend of mine several years ago after she saw me struggling with other reading methods and workbooks. My boys have devoured everything HOP has to offer in the last few years. Neil, my 7 year old, just finished reading Stuart Little and is attempting Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightening Thief. To be honest I think that selection might be a bit over his head, but the fact that he wanted to try anyway is admirable and a testament to his progress. They’ve both come a long way since they began. I hope to get Neil on camera tomorrow if he agrees.
