More than 5 million parents and teachers have used the program. Developed by education experts, Hooked on Phonics is the Gold Standard in teaching kids to read.
Helping kids become strong readers can boost their confidence in school and at home. Hooked on Phonics is truly an investment in a child’s future.
Parents tell us all the time that their kids don’t want to stop “playing” Hooked on Phonics. Children see the fun. Parents see the learning.
In order for children to learn how to read, it’s essential that they have a solid understanding of the organization and basic features of print.
To become competent readers, children need to be able to isolate individual sounds, called phonemes, and blend them together in order to decode and produce words.
To become fluent readers, children need to be able to read high-frequency words by sight (e.g., the, of, you, my is do, does, she), without having to stop and try to sound them out.
At Hooked on Phonics, we believe that every child loves to learn, so we focus on nurturing that thirst for knowledge with products that are fun, effective, and easy to use.
We respond to a child’s natural curiosity and support families and teachers as they help children improve reading, math, and study skills. We celebrate every success so learning becomes a positive cycle that kids will love to repeat again and again.
We meet all children at their level, engage their imaginations, and help them climb to the next level step by step. Every achievement ends in a celebration of success, an elevation of confidence, and an increase in self-esteem.
As children master reading and math skills, they also lay the foundation for a lifetime of learning.
It’s our goal to make a difference in children’s lives by making learning fun and easy. That’s why we’ve brought together a dedicated team of parents, leading educators, interactive designers, writers, and artists. Through collaboration, research, and testing, we continually develop innovative products and systems that teach children not only to learn but also to love learning.
