Perfect for my kindergartener
This product is perfect for my kindergartener! She is starting to identify her letter sounds and associate it with words/pictures and her progress has improved because of this! She loves that the pen makes fun sounds and loves the interactive element of it. Highly recommend!

Doesn't work...says
Disappointing. I got this to give my son something to "work" on while I teach his older sister and it is an epic fail. And yes I have correctly installed the batteries this is NOT user error.

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser01/26/2021READ THIS REVIEW IF PEN ALWAYS SAYS INCORRECT! I FIXED IT!First, let me say that there are no instructions required for this to work. When it's working properly the pen should automatically respond correct or incorrect accordingly when a dot in the notebook is lightly presses with the black tip. I was pulling my hair out and convinced we were doing something wrong until I read on here that many people were having the same problem with the pen always responding that the answer is incorrect. Read below for the quick fix. I took the pen apart and discovered the black tip was sticking out way too far for it to function. There's a contact pad (similar to a remote control button) that the tip must contact for it to work properly. Ours was sticking out almost 1/4" when we got it. If yours is like this, the tip needs to be pushed in until it's sticking out only 1/16"-1/8". The way it's designed, you can't just push the black tip in, but luckily you don't need to take it apart to fix it either. Just wedge a very small flatblade screwdriver between the tip and the plastic on the front (dog's face) side. You MUST insert the screwdriver on this side or the opposite side of the tip for this fix to work. Then, gently push the screwdriver inward (up toward the dog's head) and push on the black tip at the same time in the same direction. You'll know when to stop because the tip will bottom out. You may need to remove the batteries to reset it, but it should be working correctly once you put it the batteries back in and try to use it again. I hope this helps someone else!MikeyFixedIt

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser08/30/2020Interactive Learning at its Best!I have struggled for months to teach my daughter the alphabet and entice her to learn. Luckily, that all changed when this Hot Dots set arrived! She immediately took to it and went through both books in the first sitting. She continues to ask for these books and loves to go through them. I love watching her improve and FINALLY enjoying learning!Lisa

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser08/27/2020Buy it!!!Omg!!! I DEFINITELY recommend everyone to get this for your preschooler transitioning in kindergarten! My 5 year old will be starting kindergarten soon, so this was amazing to keep her entertained & help her practice all her letters and sounds. She definitely loves Ace! ( & so do I! ) He's really helpful identifying the correct shape and helps motivate my daughter. She definitely loves it and so do I!! This set keeps her entertained for about an hour as it has 2 booklets, she loves it. What more can I say!Maria

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser08/27/2020Good value, easy to use - tech that doesn't involve a screenWe wanted something to supplement remote learning and this is a good option that is easy to use. Our kindergartner can do this on his own once we get him started. I like the spiral notebook because it makes it lie flat unlike other workbooks. This is a good way to use technology that doesn't involve a screen.Court

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser08/27/2020My kids love it!My kids love this! I even love the packaging how it's so kid friendly and they can open it up themselves. I bought an extra pen so that both my kids can utilize the books at the same time. My kids love the dog pen's reaction. There are two books provided. The first book is easier so it's great for my younger and the book 2 is a bit more challenging so it's great for my older one. Book 1 focuses on the letters and book 2 focuses on phonics and also incorporates math with shape and math words which is great! I'd definitely recommend this product for children ages 3-6.Teacher Kim
