We recently came across this interactive online reading program and took it for a test drive. ClickN READ takes kids through a thorough phonics course and makes them think they are having fun along the way. The program breaks down words into sounds, and has the kids identify the sounds in a easy click game-like structure with engaging animation. For parents looking for an additional program to help boost their child's reading skills, this appears to be a solidly built phonics program.

In a side-by-side comparison by TopTenReviews.com of the nation's top ten phonics reading programs, ClickN' READ received the highest rating and the 2007 Gold Award, based upon overall product features, ease of use, ease of installation, and customer support. The world's only virtual phonics classroom!

My son had a learning disability which made learning to read extremely difficult. Thousands of flashcards later, along with alphabets in every form imaginable, enabled him to learn to read. I would have snapped up a program like this at the time. In some ways it reminds me of a more interactive version of the old Reader Rabbit program, an earlier phonics-based computer program. Our children are so lucky to have such wonderful and engaging interactive learning programs available to them. We sure have come a long way from See Jane Run!


		Learning to read is a milestone in every child's education. Most children begin to read at six or seven years of age, but for some children who have trouble grasping the alphabet, phonetics, and the letter and word decoding required for reading success, a new Internet program can help.

		ClickN' KIDS, Inc, an Agoura Hills, CA based firm that develops online educational software, has introduced ClickN' READ Phonics. ClickN' READ Phonics contains 100 precisely sequenced, research based lessons designed by nationally recognized research professor Dr. J. Ron Nelson. The result is a beginning reading program that is beyond compare and has redefined computer based instruction. It is the first of it's kind to simulate live instruction. Each lesson is taught by ClickN' KID, a goofy and lovable “Dog of the future.” ClickN' KID helps children gently through a learning journey of systematic lessons set in colorful, futuristic classrooms. Each lesson contains four engaging learning environments that progressively teach alphabetic understanding, phonemic awareness, decoding, and word recognition.

		The program is designed for children as young as 4 years old and teaches the complete K-3rd grade phonics curriculum taught at USA public schools. The lead-model- test system allows children to use the lessons on their own with little or no parent or teacher guidance. Children who are learning to read English for the first time, those who are struggling with reading and children with learning disabilities should use the program. Adults who are learning English as a second language are even using the program.

		Everything needed is built into the program. It is the only product needed to learn to read English. Lessons run 15 to 30 minutes. Each lesson systematically builds on the previous one and prepares the child for the next lesson. The program's uncomplicated interface makes it easy to use for nearly any age. Control panel screens allow easy set up and access to progress reports and many other features . The graphics and short animated segments are vibrant, but without unnecessary bells and whistles keeping children focused on the lessons. The program is used online just like viewing standard web pages. It can be used at home, at Grandma's, at the office or while on vacation. There are no out-of-date CD ROM's, broken videos, lost flash cards or other cost and time-intensive obstructions to interfere with quality and consistent instruction. There is no setup, training or program software to install and no waiting for shipping. You can begin using ClickN' READ Phonics immediately after ordering.
