When should my child start using Hooked on Spelling?

It's time to spell! 

What an exciting time. It looks like you think your child might be ready to use Hooked on Spelling, the complementary section of the Hooked on Phonics App that builds spelling skills.

We recommend that for most children, once they've worked through the Pre-reader section and are working successfully in the Learn to Read section of the App, they may start using Hooked on Spelling lessons in parallel. Working on phonics and spelling skills at the same time is a wonderful way to increase the variety in lessons to make the time more fun for your kiddos, and to layer on complementary skills as they progress. Some families use Hooked on Spelling after completion of the Learn to Read program, but your child should have a strong foundation to start jumping into Spelling lessons once they've started the Learn to Read section.

Do reach out to us if you have additional questions regarding Hooked on Spelling.
