This past TOS Homeschool Crew year had our family using Rocket Phonics as part of the products we reviewed. I wrote an earlier review of our experience of this product and wanted to give everyone an update on how our year ended with using Rocket Phonics.

Like other programs my children learned phonics and successfully developed into readers, but the difference was that with Rocket Phonics it took it a step further and my kids learned other things such as homonyms and homophones, prefixes and suffixes, developed reading comprehension skills, as well as spelling and reading decoding skills. All of this was learned through interesting stories and text throughout the Rocket Phonics program.. I would say that unlike some other programs we have used in the past that this was a much appreciated bonus to a reading program. Most of the others would only lead your child into reading and stop there. Rocket Phonics went that step further and brought a more complete educational experience for my children. I still recommend this to anyone looking for a reading program for their child. I especially feel that if your child requires a multi-sensory learning tool for reading that this would be a good fit for your child. My oldest started out having trouble getting past the initial stage of learning letter sounds and this would have been a good fit from the beginning for her. While she was a little beyond that when we tried Rocket Phonics, she still benefited from this program and I feel as if it solidified her reading skills and abilities.

You can check out my initial review of Rocket Phonics by viewing my homeschool reviews from this blog and check out Rocket Phonics information for yourself at the Rocket Phonics website here.
