Hooked on Phonics Learn & Read

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that Hooked on Phonics Learn & Read is a subscription-based program that progresses from teaching letter recognition to reading full words and simple stories. Kids follow a set path that introduces letters or letter combinations step-by-step through songs and mini-games. There's also a library with original stories that showcase new reading content. Kids can start at one of two places along the learning path. Early readers start with Pre-reader World, whereas kids with basic letter recognition skills can start in the Learn to Read World. Parents can create individual user accounts for multiple kids. The free download includes some content but users will need a subscription to unlock everything. For an additional fee, parents can sign up to receive monthly shipments of a workbook and hard copy books that match the app's content. Read the developer's privacy policy for details on how your (or your kids') information is collected, used, and shared and any choices you may have in the matter, and note that privacy policies and terms of service frequently change.
