Hooked on Phonics is a well know and successful reading program. I was lucky enough to review the program and I have to admit when I received the product it surpassed my expectations. It has everything you need to start a reading program at home and it works. As kindergarten teacher and a mom of two I know that teaching a child to read can be both rewarding and challenging.
I started working on the program with my 3.5 year old right away. When the baby is sleeping we get out the cards, the cd, and the book and go through the 20 minute lesson. It and it has become really special time for just the two of us and she really enjoys it. After going through the first lesson she was able to read the at words. (cat, rat, hat, etc).
Each set contains:12 Storybooks, 2 Celebrated Author Storybooks, 2 workbooks, 2 DVDs, Quick Start Guide, 2 sets of stickers, and Access to my.hookedonphonics.com online Learn to Read experience for each lesson and unit (printables, games) It’s no surprise that Hooked on Phonics won the 2009 iParenting Media Award.

Based out of Montreal, Quebec Boutique Karma is an awesome Canadian shop on Etsy. The shop is run by Tara who is a mother of two little toddlers. It's not surprising that Tara loves to sew as she comes from a family of women who sew, including her grandmother and mother. She plans and sews all projects herself in her smoke free home. 
Boutique Karma offers aromatherapy eye pillows, casserole carriers, coasters, crayon roll ups, hot mat sets, and bobo packs in the greatest designer fabric combinations. I personally have three sets of coasters and I love them! They are really unique and funky. Tara really has an eye for nice fabric.
