Misleading cancellation policy
I just bought the program for my nephew, but I had to cancel because of some unexpected issues. I was surprised to find out that the company doesn't make it easy to cancel. Instead, I had to deal with a confusing system of bots and articles before finally being told I would get an email when an agent is ready to chat. This lack of clear communication and slow process for canceling is really frustrating and a big warning sign for anyone thinking about becoming a customer.
Interactive learning material
The learning stuff I bought wasn't as fun as I thought it would be. It just kept going in circles, so my kids got pretty bored. And when I tried to cancel my subscription, I had trouble because the app said it wasn't active but still charged me. Dealing with that was annoying and not worth it. Basically, it was more trouble than it was helpful.
Phonics program for my 4-year-old
The program was definitely worth every penny! They only reached out when necessary and gave some really helpful tips on what my kiddo should focus on. The books are top-notch and the activities are super fun and imaginative. My little 4-year-old picked up all her letters and sounds in no time after using this program - now she's already starting to sound out words! The app is so interactive and clever, with just enough practice to keep it interesting. I would definitely recommend this subscription to others.
Phonics learning program
As a parent whose kiddo tried out that phonics learning program, gotta admit it fell short in keeping his attention. It just seemed to confuse him rather than help him out, especially when he had to match sounds to those random boxes that didn't even match the animals shown. It was tough seeing him get flustered with something that was meant to help him learn better. Definitely think there's some work to be done in making the program more kid-friendly and fun.
Subscription cancellation issue
I just had a really frustrating experience trying to cancel a subscription. So, I thought I canceled my account, but then they told me I had two accounts linked to my email, even though I only saw one. I tried to fix it, but they kept charging me for that extra account. And then, they wanted me to pay to send back stuff I never even wanted to begin with. It's just not cool how they're not being upfront and taking responsibility for their mistake. It's really not okay.
Phonics curriculum purchase
I got my 4-year-old son a new phonics curriculum and it's really helped him with his reading. We had a bit of a problem when we lost one of the levels, but the customer service was so great and they sent us a replacement for free.
Autism reading aid
I was having a tough time trying to teach my child with autism how to read, but then we gave this product a shot. My daughter was having difficulty stringing words into sentences, but there was something about this program that really worked for her. She's finally starting to understand what she's reading, and it's been a huge weight off our shoulders as parents. I definitely suggest this product to anyone dealing with similar struggles.
1st grade reading booster
I was so impressed with how well this product worked to boost my son's confidence with reading. I introduced it to him as a fun reading game that we could play together, and he was really into it. He now looks forward to our reading game time and gets upset if we have to skip it. The way you introduce something like this to your kid really makes a difference. This app has kept him excited and he's made amazing progress compared to other learning apps we've tried. We started with pre-reader and now we're halfway through the learn to read section, and he's really enjoying the experience without feeling like he's in school. Overall, we're big fans.
Phonics program
My daughter has been working with this phonics program for a few months now, but we haven't seen any progress. She's still having a tough time just like when we first began. I wouldn't suggest this program for kids who find phonics challenging.
Phonics learning material
I thought that the phonics learning material was really good for helping kids get better at reading. But I gotta say, some of the animations of the letters, like Q and g, were kind of hard to understand. Plus, the app had some glitches that made it repeat sections even after you finished them. Although the content is interesting, the animations and app could definitely use some work.
Phonics learning packets for my child
I gotta tell ya, those phonics learning packets really made a huge difference for my kiddo. They were simple to use, and my little one just lit up whenever he got those stars (like little awards) as he worked through each one. It wasn't just fun for him, but it also helped him focus better and get better at recognizing his letters and sounds. Ever since we started using this, I've seen a big improvement in his reading skills. I definitely suggest it to any parent trying to boost their kid's reading abilities.
Phonics reading program
I gotta tell ya, that phonics reading program has seriously made a huge difference for my kiddo. In no time at all, my daughter's reading skills improved by leaps and bounds. It's super easy to use and really keeps the kids interested. And when we hit a rough patch financially and had to take a break from the program, the customer service rep was a lifesaver, hooking us up with everything we needed to jump back in. All in all, I couldn't be more pleased with the progress my kid has made thanks to this program.
Phonics program purchase
As a parent using this phonics program, I've definitely noticed a big difference in my son's reading skills. The lessons are fun and really get him involved, which has made all the difference in helping him understand phonics basics. But, gotta be real, he still needs some more help and practice to really nail down his reading abilities. We're gonna keep using this program and whatever support he's getting at school to make sure he reaches his full potential. So far, I'm happy with how far he's come.
Phonics program for struggling reader
I wasn't sure about trying out this phonics program at first, but boy am I glad I did! My granddaughter was really having a hard time in school because her reading skills were lacking. Her school didn't really focus on phonics, so she was just supposed to memorize words without really knowing how to sound them out. I gave this program a shot and I was totally impressed by the results. We worked on it all summer and it was a breeze to use. The coolest part was that they made it fun for her, so she actually had a good time while learning. When school started up again, her reading had improved so much and now she's almost caught up with her classmates. I'd definitely recommend this program to anyone trying to help a struggling reader.
Phonics learning program
The phonics learning program is awesome for helping kids get better at reading. Sometimes though, there are technical problems with the program freezing up or showing mixed up letters and words. I've found that downloading the lessons in advance can help with these issues. Even with the tech hiccups, my kid loves reading the books that go along with the lessons and I've seen a boost in his reading confidence.
Home Schooling Program
Love this program and the customer service is top-notch. My daughter is absolutely loving it - she's not even 4 yet and she's already reading and spelling like a pro. As a Teacher and Therapist myself, I really appreciate all the different ways she can learn with this program. Home schooling has been the perfect fit for us, and setting up and completing Hooked on Phonics has been a breeze. Just remember, patience is everything when it comes to teaching.
Phonics learning system for my daughter
The phonics program I got for my daughter has seriously done wonders for her reading. It's set up in a way that builds on what she's already learned, so she's always moving forward at just the right speed. The stories are colorful and the activities are fun, making reading something she actually enjoys. She's always excited for the next lesson. And those star stickers she gets as rewards? They've really kept her motivated. I'm really happy with how Hooked on Phonics has made learning to read something that's both enjoyable and thrilling for my daughter.
Phonics Learning Program
I discovered that the Phonics Learning Program might be more useful for my child if there was a DVD option. It would definitely come in handy because we don't always have Wi-Fi in our rural area. But since it's not available, I won't be renewing my subscription. Thanks.
Reading improvement for 6-year-old
The reading app from this place has really made a huge difference for my daughter. She's been improving a lot in her reading ever since we started using it every day. But I gotta say, we're having a little problem with the games being kinda repetitive. Some days, it feels like we're just going through the motions because the games are so predictable.
