"More importantly, Katie loves the Hooked on Phonics program...I have to discourage people from calling our house between 8-8:30 a.m., since that is our Hooked on Phonics time and Katie gets very upset if we miss our Hooked on Phonics time!"
- Jennifer Logue
Mother of Katie, age 4
"The way the phonemes were introduced with all of the short vowel words being taught first and waiting until the third set to teach the long vowels was a great idea. We have looked at many phonics-based reading programs and the biggest difference with Hooked on Phonics is the sequence, the entertaining reading material, and the reward system through the star chart."
- Dean McElroy
Teacher and Father of Christopher, age 6
"I read a book every night before I went to bed.... Hooked on Phonics helped me to read better."
- Thomas, age 5
