Satisfied and would give ten stars
I bought a few HOT DOTs products and we use them all almost daily. My youngest daughter is six and she has issues sitting and listening to the topic. Quickly gets boring. With HOT DOTs products, it changes completely. She sits, goes through activities and learns even not noticing the whole process. After repeating multiple times she just knows it. I like interactive sto...

Perfect for First Grader!
I ordered this for my First Grader and it was a great challenge! There were a couple of times that he needed my help to sound out a word or help with a phrase. There were some nights that he asks to practice this on his own, or I will ask him to do a book or a few pages as practice to keep him off his tablet. Its gotten to the point where he will just do a set right aft...

The first book contains activities pertaining to short vowels, long vowels, vowel digraphs, consonant blends, consonant digraphs, and special vowels. The second book contains more activities including special vowels, sentence sense, sight wo...

Great reading help
My 7 year old grandson needs special help being interested in reading. This toy did the trick. Usually he will read 3 or 4 short pages, then loses interest. With this, he stays connected for about 30 minutes at a time. He really likes that the pen says different things, not just yes or no.

Classroom View of Hot Dots Reading
I received Hot Dots Let's Master 1st Grade Reading and Language Arts to review with my first grade classroom. My students love this product! They can work independently or in a small group. The books are small and spiral bound, so they are easily stored. The wands glow green for a correct response when the student touched a correct answer, and red when touching an incor...

My 6 year old was having some difficulties reading basic sight words. I tried many workbooks, and activity book but nothing seemed to help until we received Hot Dots Let's Master Reading Grade 1.

As a classroom teacher it is important that the kids can access the materials by themselves and with this product there is nothing to worry about. The book ...

This set includes 2 spiral-bound books and Hot Dots Jr. "Ace"-the Talking, Teaching DogTM interactive, electronic Hot Dots pen. This set is very challenging for my son, but a challenge is good.

Fun with Learning
My grandson really enjoyed Hot Dot's Let's Master 1st Grade Reading. As with the math he liked going through the book with me sitting there although he could do most of it himself. He went through the books for about 25 minutes before even suggesting he wanted to be done. He liked that the pen would let him know rather he was right or wrong. I think this set is educatio...

Great for helping my 1st grader
I received the Hot Dots Let's Master 1st Grade Reading set for review purposes. My 1st grader loves math so much that she'd rather focus on that than reading. So I've been looking for fun ways to encourage to keep developing her reading skills. This set is really great and focuses on all of the concepts she's learning in school right now like blending sounds and long vo...

Great Fun While Learning!
My daughter is in kindergarten and we got this set to practice her reading skills. It is a little ahead of her (so it is perfect for 1st grade). I was glad to have some new stuff to learn with it.

Stepping up to first grade in style!
Hot Dots let's master 1st Grade Reading is a great step up from the Kindergarten set. No longer concerned with simply identifying letters, you start by matching pictures to the word they represent. Not to be too boring, the identifier are mixed up, so you have to connect a picture of a girl getting sun burnt to "hot sun" for example. This set is great at maintaining a l...

great review toy!
My son loves this hot dots review toy! This set comes with an electronic "pen" and two books and is geared for a first grade reader. I do think, however, that a Kindergartener would enjoy it too since my son found the first book very easy (though he stills enjoys it). The pen does not come with batteries but are easy to install. Initially, my son was disappointed to see...
