5 out of 5 stars Helped My 4 Year Old Learn To Read Before Kindergarten   June 26, 2008

I thought HOP was very effective. Before I purchased HOP, teaching my 4 year old how to read was painful and difficult. After a few weeks of doing HOP lessons, he picked up a random children's book at the library one day and started reading it. I realized then that he was doing more than memorizing words- he was actually reading. I hope the remaining HOP series works as well as this one did.

We bought this about 4 weeks ago. Unfortunately, we did not realize that this is supposed to be for a MAC running in classic (ATTN HOOKED ON PHONICS SOFTWARE TEAM...NO MACS RUN CLASSIC SINCE 2004!...SUPPORT THE NEW SYSTEMS). Somehow our Mac Mini running 10.5.1 is able to run the program about 1 out of every 15 times that we launch it.

3 year old boy...he absolutely LOVES the program. It captivates him for over an hours every time and he begs us to let him use it.

4 1/2 year old boy...he is absolutely BORED with this. We read to him every night some advanced books for a boy his age so he knows his letters very well.

Overall, we would recommend it to anyone (without a MAC) who has a 3 year old. It is a lot of fun.
