I have to tell you, hooked on phonics works great.  It has been a few months now and my children’s reading skills have improved a lot.  I was skeptical about  the Hooked on Phonics program and only recently decided to give it a try.  Not sure exactly how long its been around, but like most people have heard about hooked on Phonics for years now.  Finally gave in and gave it a try.  It really works and its not expensive at all, compared to the private programs and tutors I’ve used in the past.  I highly recommend giving Hooked On Phonics a try.  They also have math programs that I’m about to try.  Check out the Hooked on Phonics coupons and products, you won’t go wrong.
