Hooked On Series for Homeschoolers or Parents
If you like the Hooked On Phonics series, but you are on a budget, you’ve probably been drooling over them and then going home to make your own worksheets or print things off from educational sites like me. However, today I actually went completely wild and bought not one, but two of the Hooked On sets:
Hooked On Handwriting and Hooked on ABCs. I found them at a very nice price at Ollie’s Bargain Outlet. The Hooked On Handwriting set was clearanced out for $19.99 and the Hooked on ABCs set was a bit pricier at $24.99. Since most of the materials are wipe off, I can re-sell them when I’m done with them or pass them on to one of my brothers to use with their slightly younger children. (Some of the activities are not re-usable, but I’m not going to worry about that. If the next child can’t trace over the vertical strokes in My Family on a photo activity, he or she will still be able to learn to write just fine.)
The little guy was really excited to use his new workbook, although I think most of the excitement came from using the erasable marker and being able to choose stickers to put next to his best work.The materials were easy to use and I think parents that didn’t have an education background would feel confident using them to teach their children to read and write.
Ollie’s had several other Hooked On items for a nice discount off of the $69 + normal price tag. If you don’t see an Ollie’s near you, I did see comparable pricing on eBay.The other thing I noticed was a year of Christian curriculum for churches with a Veggie Tales theme. I didn’t see a price on the boxes, but it looked quite nice.
