## Description

Learn to read with Hot Dots! Help kindergarteners practice their reading skills, or get a head start on kindergarten readiness skills. This interactive set covers all the reading fundamentals that kids need to succeed in kindergarten and beyond. Hot Dots are interactive so kids can learn at their own pace, self-correct, and build confidence with the interactive pen. How does the pen work? When you press it to an answer dot, the pen lights up; green for correct answers, red for incorrect. The pen can also play sounds or be muted; the pen does not talk.
