My 3rd grade special needs child enjoys reading these stories and the reinforcement of the "dot pen" with its lights and noise is a lot of fun for him when he has to work on the reading comprehension questions. The downside is that the stories range from 1st to high 5th level (guide marks each story). I would prefer to have a box of stories with less range (maybe just 1-2nd then another box of just 3-4) but we're using these and will continue.

This review is from: Hot Dots Reading Comprehension Sets - Set 1: Getting the Main Idea (Office Product)

Definitely worth the price. Card very well print with the wonderful pictures, the only draw back I guess is that the card is too small and a little tough to get my kids to really fancy it. It could be due to my girls age only 4 and 3 hence that could be the reason why the flash card did not attract so much of attention. Adults need to guide as there is no words imprint on the flash card and adults need to be around to guide, I personally feels it is good as it also build the bond between me and my girls while I am coaching them.
I-parcel service is excellent to my opinion, for shipment to singapore as not only I got update every now and then but also I received my parcel within 10 days. Cheers to amazon & I-parcel.

Saw the review for I-parcel, whereby customer claimed their service suck, but not to me, in Singapore. The day amazon hand over my parcel to them I got update every now and then and I received my parcel today. My parcel was shipped out on 15 sep 2011 and I received it today, 26 sep 2011 within 10 days and I am very pleased not with I-parcel only but also amazon for their excellent learning material. My girls aged 3 and 4 got hours of fun finding the answer with the pen praising them whenever they got the answer correct. Will grab more different set for them to brush up their English, numbers as well as understanding of shapes. Thanks amazon.
