Hooked On Phonics Free Download [PATCHED]

The flagship Learn to Read product underwent a major redesign, featuring DVDs, web customizations, and an entire new line of systematic phonics readers. It was launched in the summer of 2009. Sixty music videos were added, composed by Russell Ginns and featuring performances by Cathy Fink, Marcy Marxer and the a cappella group The Bobs.

I am a big believer in learning phonics as opposed to just learning sight words. I had phonics as a kid in school(Abeka) and I enjoyed it. My son is starting kindergarten in the fall and this year we did prek at home and he already has flown threw the bob jones curriculum that my MIL gave me. he knows all his letters and how to write them and what sounds they make.

Is there something better? Probably. But so many beginning phonics programs are so similar that I dont think it much matters (there are only so many ways the fat cat can fan the man). We have done Explode the Code online too.

I used HOP for my first 2 kids, and it worked well. My 3rd did not do well with it at all! HOP is not really a solid phonics program, IMO. Abeka focuses on each sound and why/when it makes that sound with lots of instruction and reinforcement with worksheets, readers, etc.; it is incredibly boring, but definitely does a thorough job with phonics. HOP is good for a kid who doesn't need a lot of phonics instruction and picks up on reading rather easily. It will "go over" sounds and show those sounds in words that are grouped together, but there is not a lot of instruction involved. Also, HOP uses a lot of sight words; Abeka doesn't use many at all. I think I would stick with one program or the other and not try to use both.

You can definitely use HOP on it's own, but I use it to reinforce what we learned in other phonics programs. Right now I'm using it while doing 100EZ, it's working well. My kids have always enjoyed HOP!

I haven't used Abeka, but I totally agree on what creekmom said about HOP. My son was a very early reader and flew through HOP. But it was SO BORING. Granted, we have the newer set and it sounds like your mom found the older set....I hear the older set is more engaging. HOP gets the job done, but if I had a child who really needed phonics instruction I wouldn't rely just on HOP. For your purposes I don't see where it would hurt at all though, to use it through Spring/Summer. The early levels are so basic I would imagine they'd be in line with most phonics curric anyway. And then when you're ready just switch over to Abeka if you still want to.

HOP is a great way to jump-start your child reading, but it is not a complete phonics curriculum. We have finished HOP K. We are currently taking a break and using ETC 1. After we finish it, we will proceed with HOP 1 and then HOP 2 and supplement with ETC. After HOP 2, we will use a more complete phonic program. We started "early" with DD, so she should complete HOP 2 during the first part of what would traditionally be her K year.

I used HOP very successfully with my 2nd child. However, I had previously taken my 1st child through Spalding so I was pretty comfortable teaching phonics by that point. In terms of the "sight" words, I would sound them out phonetically when we came to them.

Hi! I've used Abeka phonics for all my kids, and I've used HOP. My kids loved Abeka phonics - found it to be very fun and I find it to be a complete curriculum for reading. DDs #1 and 2 learned to read quickly and fluently. The only time I used HOP was with dd #3 who was struggling with reading. She used Abeka alone in K. In 1st, we went through Abeka lesson, and then took some time to go through the corresponding HOP lesson. We only used the first box of HOP, just until she was fluent in short words. After that we just read TONS of books together. She did not begin to read fluently until mid second grade - just not her strength. HOP is boring, but it is consistently simple - great for a struggling reader. I don't think I would use HOP alone, Abeka goes into so much more detail! We especially love the Abeka big phonics flashcards to learn all the sounds/blends. Once a week we would do "M&M Phonics" and they would get a mini m&m for each card they could complete. Each kid is so different, I'm sure you'll find just what your child needs! :)

having said that, i do not use HOP as an independent program. with my daughter i used it in conjunction with ETC books. with my son, i used CLE Learning to Read alongside HOP for grade 1. i also use a phonics based spelling program, which reinforces everything.

I only read some of the previous posts but I just wanted to chime in and say that I used HOP with Adrian and we both loved it. He took of with K at age 4 and finished it in a few months. I stopped and gave him a break but soon realized he was eager for more, so we started grade 1 (we had bought the entire K-2 kit new at the time) and he finished grade 2 shortly after his 5th birthday. When we started grade 2 HOP, we also started Horizons Phonics alongside it and we had been using the ETC books all along. So Adrian has had phonics from three sources, HOP, ETC, and Horizons Phonics.

Anyway, all that to say that you can use HOP but I would also look at how your other program teacher phonics. I also own Phonics Pathways. I bought that when Adrian was born :lol:, when I was toying with the idea of teaching him to read at home while I was still a working mom. I originally started it with Adrian at the same time as HOP but soon realized that the programs worked phonics very differently and did not complement each other. I have never used Abeka so this is something you will need to check.

My boys are in kindergarten and learning to read. Both boys are a bit behind their peers. I think that C is picking it up faster than R, but C is purely site reading. C has no tolerance for sounding out words. I know at school they struggled with teaching him letter sounds. When the teacher would show him the letter, he would name the letter. He had trouble understanding that when the teacher showed him an M that she didn't want him to say M, she wanted him to make the M sound. finally, he is getting the sound thing when asked for a letter sound, but has no patience for doing that in reading. He just wants me to tell him the word and not sound it out. He's learning quite a few words, but the whole phonics thing is a bust. R, my NT son, doesn't have as many site words as C, but gets the concept of sounding things out even though he isn't great at it yet.

I'm curious as to how other ASD kids have learned to read and what techniques you've used at home to help this process along. The boys each have to read us one book before they go to bed, but I'm sure there are other things we can be doing. We use the starfall.com site on the computer and bought their books as well. I'm guessing that since visual learning seems to be a common thread for ASD kids that I'm not the only one that has struggled with phonics. Any and all advise welcome!

My guy is little - just under 3. His sister just turned five and had the leapfrog DVD series. She was not that interested in it and I did phonics with her and she can already read easy books - she will start kindergarten in the fall. My PDD-NOS 35 month old though LOVES the leapfrog DVD's. And now he knows all the letters and their sounds. It is phonics but it is in DVD form so it is visual and also as an added benefit musical. Don't know if you've tried them yet but my little one loved them. The first in the series is The Letter Factory - this does letters and sounds. Then talking words, talking words 2 and the story book factory - there is also a math one thrown in there.

This is a good topic. My dd is repeating kindergarten this year and is or (was) one of the best readers in her class. She relies 101% on sight words. She knows what sounds the letters make (and has for years), but she can not do phonics. I guess it is not generalized. She can memorize songs..she even sings in Hawaiian (which she only learns at school), but I guess it is the whole decoding/processing things. Listening to dd read is pretty comical because if she doesn't know the word, she guesses and comprehension and content doen't really concern her.

Reading is taught sequentially. Both of the programs you mentioned will help some children. And there is no program that is best for all children. Hooked on phonics is good for those who love music and respond to it. Leap does take up some slack so that you don't have to do the reading (of course you don't know what the child is doing when you aren't there).

Hi. Our 7 year old 2nd grader has just been diagnosed with dyslexia, and will shortly begin receiving additional help using the Wilson Reading method. My question is: are commercially available programs such as hooked on phonics, the phonics game, etc., generally considered useful as an at home supplement to the instruction received in school?

The step-by-step approach, with reviews built in via songs and ebooks, is very effective for teaching reading. Teachers will appreciate the mix of phonics and sight words, and kids will enjoy the variety of delivery -- songs, games, and books -- and the predictability of how each step advances. Though $8.99 per month (or $49.99 for a lifetime subscription) might seem expensive, teachers get a step-by-step curriculum for an entire class of students, which can be reset every year and reused for a new class of students. Differentiation is easy as well, as teachers can unlock all content for students who can already read, allowing them to review at their own pace. Kids can also practice writing using the words in the writing section.

Teachers can unlock all the content at once or have kids work through each step in order. Steps build on each other, teaching and reinforcing phonics and sight words, and reviewing them with three ebooks per step.

It's a fact of life that kids need to learn phonics. In order to really become a great and proficient reader, your child should have a firm grasp of phonics.

In short, they've got to understand the sight and sounds of letters, and the combinations of letters put together into blends. e24fc04721
