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!

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.

Read fine print
Love this for my child but I missed in the fine print where it says it doesn’t come with the pen. So i was shocked when it came and then had to scramble to find another one that actually came with the pen so she could use these
S**!
Great Learning

Fun!
This is a fun way for kids to practice their letters/sounds. Includes beg. Sound. Ending sound. And rhyming. My kids loved the light up pen and the variety of noises. Love that it helps them self correct. Great product

Kids love it!
I ordered a lot more sets. They work well for both of my kids, ages 4 and 5. I had especially wanted this since my son (age 5) hates all things reading and does much better with electronics. He did this by himself and really enjoyed it. It's helped out a lot. I wish the pens said more and explained why their answer is wrong or right, but maybe they'll change some things in the future. Also, on some of the cards they have to hit the dots in certain areas for it to tell them it is right, even if it is the correct answer.

Practically useless without the pen.
Very disappointed that it didn’t come with the pen. Misleading advertisement.

Creo que es un buen producto para enseñar a los niños sin embargo el lápiz considero debe hablar y no solo iluminar de color verde o rojo
