Review: Fun way for kids to learn beginning phonics! - We love hot dots sets because it is a fun and interactive way for kids to learn! I have been trying to find ways to keep teaching my 5 year old in order to prepare her for kindergarten in the fall. She is interested in learning how to read but she doesn’t like doing regular flash cards. This hot dots set is the perfect way for her to learn beginning phonics like letter sounds and rhyming words. The ace pen (which is not included in this set but we had some pens from other hot dots sets we have) provides instant feedback in a fun way. The set includes 36 double sided cards so there is a total of 72 activities. My daughter enjoyed doing this set so I am so happy that she is learning beginning phonics in this fun way! Highly recommend! Review: Great for teaching - Doesn’t include the pen. They are cards so I don’t recommend leaving the child alone with them if they are one to bend or rip cards/paper. You could do together, recommend if you don’t have the pen, or they can do it alone the pen tells them when they are right or wrong. ## Features - AWARD-WINNING HOT DOTS: Give kids the on-the-spot encouragement they need to boost academic confidence and build readiness for school through self-paced, independent learning fun - PRE-K & KINDERGARTEN READING ESSENTIALS: Practice school readiness with important phonics skills like letter, initial, and final sounds; rhyming words, and spelling - SCREEN-FREE EDUCATION: Swap your toddlers' screens and tablets with captivating, interactive lessons they can take on the go (no internet needed!), from road trips to waiting rooms and more - AT-HOME PRESCHOOL LEARNING ACTIVITIES: Keep kids ages 3-6 engaged outside of the classroom; great as a summer bridge or homeschool resource to help littles prepare for kindergarten - INCLUDES: 36-double-sided cards (a total of 72 cute & colorful learning activities!) and portable storage case with carry handle; compatible with any Hot Dots or Hot Dots Jr. pen (SOLD SEPARATELY) - THE PERFECT GIFT: Have an upcoming birthday or holiday?

It answers yes or no whether the child picked the correct answer. I read the questions to my 2 and 4 year olds and they pick the answer. They love the dog pen his eyes light up either green or red and his yes and no's vary from a barking yes to a " no that's not right". The phonics card set does not come with the pen though so make sure you're buying the correct one. **Q: is it in Spanish and English** A: No it's only in English **Q: People are saying the pen is included but the description says it is sold separately. Did you get a pen?** A: Not with this specific set. It did not come with a pen. Only question cards were included. **Q: How high do the numbers count? What is the highest number used?** A: This is a phonics set. There are no number concepts reviewed in this set. The Hot Dots Jr. Numbers and Counting set covers numbers 1 to 10. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun way for kids to learn beginning phonics! *by J***Y on April 13, 2020* We love hot dots sets because it is a fun and interactive way for kids to learn!
