Not much of real value here. "Complete Learning Kit" is a complete exageration. This claims to be for learning letter & number recognition. That's it, just recognizing the printed numerals. Nothing that can't be learned with some flash cards (under $10 at the local store). Instead try some of the following options (my three year old can sing his alphabet and recognizes all letters and numbers through 9 JUST from watching Brainy Baby ABCs & Brainy Baby 123s):

HOP has become an *outstanding* program since it was bought out and redesigned. I highly recommend it.

*However*...I do not recommend buying the "Hooked on (...) Grade" Kits...they are abbreviated versions of HOP's full program(s)!!

As far as this kit goes, the Hooked On Math: Learn to Count kit seems to be complete. It's the phonics program that has been abbreviated for this kit. If you want the full HOP pre-k phonics program, you're going to have to make sure you buy the separate program!! Even with those, there is a basic and a deluxe version. The only difference is the deluxe version is about $15 more and comes with 2 extra storybooks. Buy carefully, and make sure you're getting what you really want!!

I bought this for my daughter who is 3 and already knows her alphabet. Now that I figured out how to apply this to her it really is fun to do. Some fun activities along with really cute videos that help her learn the sounds better and she's learning rapidly.

I bought this product and tried to get my 3 year old son to get into it. he did not. maybe I should have tried harder, which is why I gave it 2 start rather than 1. I think that the games etc. need to be a little bit more fun and interactive.

It was given as a gift 1000 miles away so I can not rate it. Never seen or used it.
