We love the HOOT program and our instructor. Amazing to see the progress each month!" K. Koller, Parent "We have LOVED working with Hoot! It’s an invaluable benefit that gave my 5-year-old the gift of reading. Kind, patient teachers; pacing fits the child; super communicative staff and flexible scheduling." J. Range, Parent "A good little intro to reading program for my five-year-old son. He loved the teacher and enjoyed the lessons." B. Edwards, Parent ## What Your Child Learns       PHONEMIC AWARENESS Learning that the word “cat” is made up of three sounds. Working with individual sounds to blend them together, break them apart, or change them (like turning cat into bat). LETTERS & SOUNDS Working to identify both letter names and the most common sound they represent, this is where phonics and sounding out words begins! EARLY WORD READING Soon, you’ll hear your child sound out words like hen and ship, not by looking at a picture, but by decoding each sound through systematic phonics instruction! VOCABULARY & LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT Talking about stories builds vocabulary, sparks curiosity, and strengthens comprehension. All while having fun! # Getting Started is Easy    # 1.

Many families begin around age 4—whenever your child can focus for short activities and shows curiosity about letters or books. Regardless of age or grade, all lessons start with identifying skill levels so your child gets instruction where they need it. ### What do I need for lessons at home? All lessons take place on our web-based app. Your child will need a laptop, computer, or tablet and a stable internet connection. The device must have a camera, microphone, and speaker. We also recommend headphones to help minimize distractions. ### I've purchased a plan. What happens next? At their first scheduled lesson time, your child will log in to the Hoot Reading App to meet their teacher. The first lesson will focus on the Hoot Reading Assessment to learn more about skill level; this data is then used to design their personalized reading instruction. Once the assessment is complete, lessons will start with instruction, picking up where the previous lesson left off. ### Where can I get help with my lessons? Hoot Reading has a Live Help Desk (with real humans!) available by email at help@hootreading.com, or by phone at 1-833-789-HOOT(4668). Our reading tutors are also trained to help students with basic troubleshooting solutions. ## Not quite ready to talk but want to learn more?   ## Wondering If Your Child is Ready to Read? Our team can help you understand where your child is on their early literacy journey and how Hoot Jr. can nurture those first reading skills. Book a free consultation and see your child’s reading journey begin.
