Hooked on English is working!

March 10, 2011

Hi all!

I love this board! Thanks to Dr. G's ESL program suggestion, and Robyn Coggins

post about 'Hooked on English " helping her son, we are experiancing tremendous

gains with this program.

I purhased the deluxe version, as it was only 30 bucks (originaly 200$) and it

had 9 levels. (The smaller version is 9.99, but only has 1-3 and it goes by

fast, best to get deluxe.)

Ok, back to the progress! We use this in ABA and its a big hit. My son loves

it, and says; " I want game " when requesting it. Yes, he requests it! New gains

are: learned his shapes, can answer 'what's your name'(HUGE), and is now using

" I see (object) " phrases, instead of just pointing and labeling object. He is

answering questions faster, and listens more. The visuals are fun, and the

repetions are working. ABA LOVES this, and the director is coming today to see

how this is working. ABA stops video asks questions, uses the flashcards, and

materials, and it really targets my sons preschool overall goals. It has helped

to do it in session, as it makes it super consistent and we get more from him.

For anyone who has a kid who LOVES to watch Pixar and well animated movies, and

kid is not too flexible, I would suggest NOT playing it on a T.V that he

normally watches movies on. My son's ABA suggested a small T.V in his room,

that we only use for this, and Rosetta stone (when we get it). This was a great

suggestion for my son, as it is a HUGE treat to have a T.V in his room, making

him even more into it.

Thanks for letting me share!
