With the Hooked on Phonics App release 7.0.0, your learner(s) will create personalized avatars with accessories, enjoy brain breaks that reward progress, and have easy access to all subjects within the Hooked on Phonics App.
Phonics, Spelling, and Math all in one place
All subjects are accessible from the Home screen in a single App! Simply swipe up or down to access the Phonics, Spelling, and Math content. Learn more about the new design and switching between subject areas: How to Navigate the Home Screen
NOTE: We recommend deleting the Hooked on Math and Hooked on Spelling Apps from your devices, as this will help eliminate any issues with performance or syncing your child's progress.
Learner avatars
Upon updating your App and logging in for the first time, your learner will be prompted to visit the Avatar Menu. This Menu displays various character choices, clothing items, accessories, and actions the avatar can perform. Learn more about the Avatar Menu: Avatar Menu Options
Brain breaks
Brain breaks are mini-games that learners earn after completing learning activities. These 30-second games are just for fun! Plus, learners can go to the Game Menu to replay a brain break game after they’ve earned it.
Download availability
As of this release, our Apps will no longer be available to download in the Mac or Microsoft Stores - this includes Hooked on Phonics, Hooked on Math, and Hooked on Spelling. All Apps will continue to be accessible and available to download on all mobile platforms, including iOS, Android, and Amazon. Those who have already downloaded the Apps will be able to continue using them normally - however, we are no longer updating or supporting them on Mac and Microsoft software platforms, so they may not perform as well on those devices.
We are devoting our time to building great new features on our mobile platforms, so we encourage you to log in on a phone or tablet to check out the new features waiting for you. This decision was not made lightly, and we apologize for any inconvenience.
