Hooked on Phonics Master Reader, created for kids ages 7 and up, uses advanced phonics skills designed to help kids read with speed and accuracy. Like Hooked on Phonics Learn to Read, the program uses a balanced approach, coupling systematic instruction with reading stories and books. Kids learn to break down large words into parts so they can read more fluently and don't spend so much time and effort sounding out each word. Plus, Master Reader has been tested with kids to make sure they love the four levels of interactive computer games, the 64 attention-grabbing stories, and the exciting Strange Museum chapter book series.
