Want to have fun whilst learning?This is the Learning Resources Store HOT DOTS Learn At Home Reading And Maths Set 2, 3 pcs, for ages 5+.Requires 2 x AAA batteries (not included).This is not our first HOT DOT rodeo, we had one for our eldest when she was younger but the pen was a doggy style. You get 2 x books Reading Set 2 and Maths Set 2 with a red interactive pen. You simply read the question for example which is less one or two, then place you pen on the HOT DOT and press gently. It will light up green and play a happy sound, or light up red and play a sad song if incorrect. Each book has different sections, 50 pages and reward stickers.My youngest absolutely adores these books, as it is educational but fun, so she doesn't even realise she is learning whilst playing! And an added bonus we already have some more books for her to play with!Overall I'd thoroughly recommend this for any child aged 5-8, as it is just right for that age range. Superb stuff.

The media could not be loaded. I got this Hot Dots books for son and daughter. The pen need 2XAAA batteries not included. The pen doesn’t talk just makes sounds and flushes red for wrong answer and green for the right answer. It makes sounds and if you point the pen to the wrong place it flash red and correct dot flushes green. For the price I was hoping the pen can talk and sound out the words so the child can follow and understand. This is little confusing for younger child to understand what to do when it just flushes green and red. The pen works with any Hot Dots books and suitable for older kids. You get 2 books math and English and 1 pen. I got extra pen so both of my children can use each book separately without fighting over the pen.

Confused child when wrong light comes on

The media could not be loaded. this is the reading and maths set 2 activity book from the hot dots series, it’s designed for kids of ages 5 and olderthere are 2 activity books and an interactive pen included in the set, but no battery is included, it takes 2 x aaa batteries to work, so be ready some batteries to avoid kids disappointmentthere are 100 pages of activity in these books, they covers spelling and basic maths, my 5 years old kid found it’s not too hard to finish, probably it would make a bit more challenge to younger kidsit’s a creative design that kids will know if they answer right or wrong immediately with the pen, the pen will make sound and light for correct and incorrect answer, very easy to use, the only issue is that kid must tap on centre of the black dot, or the pen will make an incorrect sound, that would be a bit misleadingall in all, i’m happy with this product and my kids like it too, would recommend ithope you find these information helpful

This is ideal for little learners. I’d probably say age 4 as the content is Reception / year 1 level.In the set you get 2 spiral bound books and 1 hot dots pen reader. The batteries are not included for the pen but they are definitely required! You’ll need 3 AAA batteries for it.It’s really easy to use. Once you show your child once, they’ll understand what to do. The questions are focused on reading and maths. The child then chooses their answer from a multiple choice list and puts the pen on it. If it’s right, the pen lights up. Really engaging and exciting for little ones. If you wanted to, you can also add the sound effect.These books are great for some extra home learning.Overall I’d recommend this product. It does feel a little pricey at the current selling price of over £33. However, it’s a reusable resource to help with home learning and it is much more fun for children than ordinary paper and pencil.

In this set you get:- 2 spiral bound Hot Dots workbooks designed to interact with the Hot Dots interactive pen: one aimed at early Literacy, the other at Mathematics- One Hot Dots reader penThe pen requires two AAA batteries to run, and these are not included. The system is clear, simple and easy to use. Each book has a series of questions targeted at early reading or maths tasks. A series of multiple choice answers are then given, each with a pen-readable dot next to it – simply hold the pen over the correct dot to find the answer. If you get it right, the end of the pen lights up in green; get it wrong and the end of the pen turns red. There is also an option to add sound effects to the lights – slightly gloomy sounding noise if you get it wrong, a series of cheerful jingles when right.The reading book includes activities based around: recognising lower and upper case letters that make the same sound; matching words to pictures; identifying missing letters; recognising missing vowels; matching words that use the same long vowel sound; unscrambling short words; identifying a missing word from a short sentence; and identifying ending sounds.The maths book features activities that include: counting and number recognition up to 20; identifying which is less/more; basic addition; basic subtraction; using basic bar graphs; making sensible estimates as to which of two things is heavier/lighter/taller/longer/shorter; shape recognition of 2 and 3D shapes.These are good and basically reusable workbooks. The activities are well laid-out and in line with Reception-Year 1 learning. The books come with sets of star stickers and instructions to add one of these to a page when the page has been completed. If you ignore this nonsense, and just award a star and keep a record of what has been completed then the book is completely reusable between children in a class or multiple children at home.This came with largely recyclable packaging, although the box was sealed with three large stickers (one would probably have sufficed), and the pen wrapped in a plastic bag.
