It took 4 years, and we had fun along the way, but yesterday marked the end of our Hooked on Phonics journey. Neil completed the Master Reader program last year, and Alan finished yesterday. Hooked on Phonics has been a pillar of our homeschooling since the beginning. We started with the kindergarten level and [...]
My older boy, Neil, 7, finished the Hooked on Phonics Master Reader program about a year ago. Throughout the program, from Kindergarten all the way through Master Reader, I had sat next to him for his lessons. But, once the Master Reader program was finished, it was time for him to start reading alone. [...]
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 [...]

This is me giving a brief explanation of each grade level in the Hooked on Phonics product line (excluding preschool). This just happens to be a product for which I am a passionate advocate. Reading is not like some other subject that can slide by for a few years before picking up. Kids who don’t read [...]
Read my updated review of the new Hooked on Phonics K-2 Reading system here Reading is by far the most important skill a person will ever learn and phonics is the best method for teaching it. “Well, Keith. How can you say that?” you ask. I have two good reasons for saying it. The first is that [...]
