Was it "Hooked on Phonics"? That's what I had and my reading was apparently very above average.

Was it "Hooked on Phonics"? That's what I had and my reading was apparently very above average.
- analog31 6y agoIt was in the late 1960s. I grew up near Detroit. We had visited the Henry Ford Museum where they had reprints of the classic McGuffy's Reader, mentioned in the article. We just went through that book. As others have mentioned, at some point it "clicked" and I needed no further instruction. Like programming. ;-) My mom also made a big deal of going to the library every week, like it was some kind of amazing sanctuary, which of course it was. Now an odd thing I remember is that my office mate in grad school listened to the Rush Limbaugh Program, and the two advertisers I remember were Snapple and Hooked on Phonics. Funny what things we remember.
