Thank you for the review! I was given the “My Baby Can Read” system by a relative when my son was a few months old. I’ve never used it. He’s almost 4 now and I’ve been looking for an alternative. Phonics was how I learned to read. I’m excited to look into this. Thanks!

I use the HOP Pre-K for my son as well, and he likes it. One thing that I don’t understand, however, is the letter “X” in the flash cards. They used “box” for the letter x. I’m not sure why. Most “x” associations are with “xylophone.” Maybe because to use the cards for the rhyming part there was nothing to rhyme with xylophone. I also wish they included more games for when you log in online. However, there are tons of games you can do an online search for, which makes it not a big deal.

It seemed easy for my little guy at first too – heck he's known the alphabet since he was 18 months. But it's great reinforcement, I would look into the K curriculum if he's past it. Follow his ability not the age on the box!

I really appreciate this review! My mom just bought the same set for my boys, and while we haven't played with it much yet (and what we have, my almost-three-year-old was way past, so we'll see), but this gives me hope!

Thanks!

Thanks Allie! I have thought about getting HOP but never got around to it. I think it looks like something we could use. Thanks for sharing!
