My dd wouldn't get into it but I may have gotten it before she was ready. I sent it back.
What we really liked and worked GREAT for ds, was at www.headsprout.com It's really very cool.

Our library carries several of their products. I would check yours before spending so much.

This really is a great tool, but I agree you should see if the Library can let you check it out rather than pay that kind of money for it. You will find the sets they have for the older children may be a better investment but do look into it.

We were able to get the original set (LEvels 1-5) at a yard sale. It is old: they are tapes not CD's but they worked great for my son. He loved them. He would pop in a tape and listen to it and practice the cards by himself. We started at the end of K (we HS) when he was about 5.5 but he didn't get into it too much. We started again in Sept and he zipped through it. I think he had finished all 5 levels which is supposed to be 2nd grade level by Christmas, a month after he turned 6. Now my ds is the type that I can't teach him anything till he's ready to learn it and once he's ready there's no stopping him. However, it worked very well for him and I loved it.

We have an older version of Hooked on Phonics. It worked very well for two or our children.

Hooked on Phonics is one of the reading programs that I am using with my son. He likes it better than the others (which means he doesn't hate it totally). I really like it and he seems to get more out of it and enjoys it (when he will let himself). We purchased the HOP Kindergarten Deluxe and HOP First Grade Deluxe versions at Sam's Club for less than $30 each. Also purchased the HOP Second Grade for about the same. Not sure what is included in the "complete" version of HOP you are referring to, so can't comment on the price good or bad.

Angie4God, you've got a typo in your signature. :)
I'm glad to hear everyone's thoughts. I was considering getting the same for my eldest who is learning to read. I have a friend who had it and may lend me the first portion to see if he likes it.

He's four.
The typo moved to your post. Boy, that's one hard to catch typo. ;)
