But the best part is what happens with the time. Many parents tell Hooked on Phonics that using the Hooked on Phonics program becomes a special time during the day, one that both they and their children look forward to. Spend just 1 hour a week, and see how you can help your child gain confidence in reading and boost self-esteem.

Everything you need...all in one program
The Hooked on Phonics 5 color-coded levels will take your child through learning letter sounds and short vowels, beginning blends, ending blends, long vowels, and challenging combinations. The Hooked on Phonics parent's guide tells you everything you need to get started.

Because kids learn in different ways, the levels include a variety of multisensory tools that appeal to visual, auditory, and experience-based learners:

Musical audiotapes and flash cards introduce the sounds letters make and how to combine sounds to form words. The friendly voice on each musical audiotape guides you every step of the way.

Hooked on Phonics Workbooks help your child learn to sound out words with different letter-sound patterns. They also include stories and games to help keep it fun.

Interactive CD-ROM in Level 1 lets children play engaging activities that reinforce what they've just learned and builds a wonderful sense of accomplishment.

Hooked on Phonics books bring the words to life and create a personal library of 50 magical books. Each was uniquely developed, using words from the program, to create a successful reading experience.

Helper Word and Word Play cards introduce useful words your child needs to know and give your child practice spelling words in interactive ways.

Posters and reward stickers help motivate your child to keep reading. Each story or book completed means a new sticker on the chart!

Capturing a child's attention is half the battle! That's why Hooked on Phonics include music, games, activities, and - fully integrated with Level 1 - an interactive CD-ROM hosted by characters from the program. Hooked on Phonics also created a library of 50 colorful books written by award-winning authors and illustrators just for this Hooked on Phonics program.

But the real fun comes with the learning. Kids inherently want to be successful, and the Hooked on Phonics' goal is to help them excel.
