HOOKED ON PHONICS celebrates back-to-school with 98% off iOS & Android Apps

School is back in session, and many parents and teachers have been feeling the strain in their wallets, outfitting kids for their first day or supplying and decorating their classrooms in preparation for the return of students. American Express’s annual survey on back-to-school spending finds that parents fork over an average of $1,151 for their children before school even starts — compared with $1,094 in 2013 and $867 in 2012.

A recent United Federation of Teachers (UFT) survey found that teachers are spending an average of $500 out of there own pocket each year purchasing supplies for their students.

“With classroom sizes on the rise and school budgets shrinking, Hooked on Phonics wants to ensure that all educators have access to the proper tools to help students succeed in learning to read, using the most updated technology with our Classroom Edition mobile app for iPhone or iPad or Android device,” states Hooked on Phonics Editorial Director, Julie Temple Stan.

In addition, Hooked on Phonics is including in its $0.99 Promotion its brand-new iOS mobile app, Reading Pro Classroom (for struggling readers ages 7 and up).
