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! Learn more about the new design and switching between subject areas: How to Navigate the Home Screen
NOTE: We recommend deleting the separate 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 within the new HoP App.
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.
