I'm homeschooling my children and have found that a bit of variety can go a long way. My girls have been exposed to a few phonics program and whereas most have been myself teaching them phonics, they loved the chance to try it out online with some of their favorite cartoon characters such as Looney Tunes. I was unsure how receptive they would be but after seeing how much they loved the mini cartoons in between the lessons and how they enjoyed them, I was comforted in knowing they have an option to learn while enjoying it. Looney Tunes Phonics is based on the "world's most advanced reading program, ClickN Read Phonics."
With your favorite delightful Looney Tunes characters, your child will experience little cartoon shorts and will be entertained by the interaction with the lessons. The lessons are geared towards the age and knowledge of the child. The audible is easy to understand which was important to me as I have experienced other programs that didn't have easy to hear audible. Even when the lesson is loading, they will have variations in the different Looney Tunes characters to entertain them. Since they primarily use the click of the mouse, it's easy also for the younger ones even though so many kids can probably use a computer better than many adults. There is an option to repeat the question and if they get the answer wrong, they get a pleasant message telling them to try again. They can also restart the lesson and repeat a lesson. They really enjoyed our complimentary trial subscription and I do feel they learned from it. It was nice to see them enjoy something that also was educational.
The Looney Tunes site has many tabs:
- Parents - try out sample lessons, why choose Looney Tunes Phonics, program overview, research based information, industry best reports, FAQ and system requirements (to run the program).
- Teachers - similar to the parents tab but also includes free school trial, core correlations and NCLB.
- Administrators - similar to the Teachers tab.
- Store - to purchase other Looney Tune products both home and school.
- Success stories - always a plus to hear how others gained from their experiences with the program.
- Order now - self explanatory

Overall, my children really enjoyed the Looney Tunes ClickN Read Phonics program and I loved the fact that they had fun while learning. It was refreshing to see them not cringe when I told them it was time to learn some phonics! Very good program, entertaining, easy to use and easy to understand from an audible standpoint.
