Educational Insights Hot Dots Jr. Pete The Cat Kindergarten Rocks Workbook Set with Interactive Pen

My Kindergarten class loves Pete the Cat, so they were excited to receive the Hot Dots featuring Pete the Cat. There were 2 books and the hot dot pen that came in the package. There are 2 levels that focus on Reading, writing, math, science, social studies and foundational skills of Critical thinking and making inferences. When they are finished with their work they may choose to look at books or use the hot dots and most choose to use Pete the Cat!

This set has been a great addition to our homeschooling resources. Being homeschoolers we didn't have to prepare our daughter for school and therefore my daughter was not familiar with Pete the cat stories prior to receiving this set, but after watching YouTube, she loves his songs. My five year old only recently began to read so she can't do the books completely on her own yet, but she has lots of fun with them. She loves the noises that the Pete the cat pen makes and she enjoys working her way through the interesting activities in the books. I like that the pen has a muted but lighted mode, too, for more quiet times. The stickers are a bonus incentive and I like that the books have a specific place to put them. We are very pleased with this set and definitely recommend it. We did receive a free set in exchange for our honest opinion about it.

This is a great set to get for your student in Kindergarten. It helps reinforce what they are learning and it makes it fun and exciting. Pete the Cat is a great way to keep them engaged and entertained. There are two spiral bound booklets with over 200 activities and the musical part of it makes it that much more fun. I love that it incorporates reading, math, science and other subjects so that my kids can have fun learning "on their own" but still be guided. I totally recommend this - and it is a great gift. I received a sample. This did not affect my opinions and they are 100% my own.

Pete the Cat is great! Our 5 year old just started kindergarten and loves Hot Dots. He is very familiar with the preschool version, so he picked up the Kindergarten Rocks level very easily. It is a little more challenging for him to do on his own right now, as he is not a strong reader, but a lot of the questions are easy to figure out by the pictures. He constantly wants to play with Pete the Cat throughout the day and his confidence level has sky rocketed! If you ask him, the best part is when you answer correctly, it plays music and Pete the Cats eyes are green. If you answer wrong, his eyes glow red! He loves it! He recently pulled it out with the babysitter, and they played "school" for an hour! Great learning fun!! This product is very durable and can be played again and again. The package came with fun stickers and an Award Certificate!

My son enjoys his Pete the Cat Kindergarten Rocks and was eager to open it. He likes the fact that he can play and learn at the same time. I was surprised how well he was able to navigate through the books with the pen with minimal help. This is truly what every kindergartner should have.
