Educational Insights Hot Dots Preschool Reading Set, Interactive Toddler Workbooks, Ages 4+

My grandson got right into this book. The Ace pen did the trick with him. He's 3 1/2 and loves it. I'm buying the Pre-K math one also.

My 4-year-old granddaughter loves using the "Ace" talking pen to discover the answers. I like that it can be muted so it can be used as a quiet activity. Green or red lights indicate whether a choice is correct or incorrect. I received Hot Dots Jr. as a gift but I will definitely recommend this product to others. I would love to find more Hot Dot Jr. books to add to my collection.

This set was a gift for my 4 y.o. She really likes Ace, the cute dog stylus that accompanies the Hot Dots Jr. Pre-K Reading set. He has 23 fun phrases and sound effects to help let the user know how s/he is doing. My daughter laughed the first time she realized Ace would vibrate after she answered three questions in a row correctly. One thing I appreciated about Ace was that he has a mute option. There are two books included in this set and they cover the following topics: Letter Recognition (A-Z, upper/lowercase), Sequencing (before/after), Story Sequence (Which picture completes the story?), Rhyming Words, Color Words, Letters and Words (Find letters that are in the word), Upper and Lowercase Letter Matching, Word Recognition (Match photo/word to a list of words), Letter Sounds, and a Challenge section that asks the child to find the letter that makes the beginning/ending sound of the item pictured. This set is a good fit for children interested in learning letters and their sounds. It is a good start towards reading mastery.

Wonderful tool for my adult students. They love the immediate and verbal feedback as well as becoming familiar with technological gadgets.

This is a really good teaching tool for pre-schoolers. I have had Leap Frog devices and I believe Hot Dots measure up to them for a fraction of the cost. I really like it.

Bought this for our 3 year old grandchild. He excels in language, being able to verbally identify the entire alphabet along with the phonetic sounds. Bought this as a gift to help keep his interest in learning.

Purchased as an Angel Tree Christmas gift for children in need.

We got this for my daughter for Christmas. She loved it, but just a couple of months later it began to say that every answer is wrong. Very frustrating. Certainly wouldn't have bought it if I knew it was only going to last 2 months.

Disappointing. I got this to give my son something to "work" on while I teach his older sister and it is an epic fail. And yes I have correctly installed the batteries this is NOT user error.
