Spotlight Testimonials

I received this for free to review on my blog. However, all statements are 100% my own. I LOVE that this program doesn’t have to live on your computer. It plays off Adobe Flash. I also appreciate that it isn’t something that your kids can sit and do in a few hours~ it is set up to be a process, with each step reinforcing what was just learned. One of my 10 year olds is severely dyslexic and struggles to read but she was able to set this up on her own. She put her name in and picked her first activity and went right to work on it. I also like that the game unlocks new activities as your child progresses. There are so many different activities within the 4 different programs that I can’t even begin to talk about all of them but if your child needs help in any of these areas, I believe that this program can help.

The HearBuilder Home Edition is a great program that can be used for up to 4 kids. Each child is able to select their name at the beginning to resume the level they are currently on.

Our 6 and 8 year old have been working on their skills with HearBuilder daily. This great program is also a favorite of our 3 year old but I do have to assist him with some of the bonus games.

I started all our kids at Beginners so they could scale through and advance as they practiced skills. Of course, the older two were able to scale more quickly as they worked through the beginner stages. I love that the complete collection contains the option for the kids to switch between learning/working on various skills for: Auditory Memory, Following Directions, Phonological Awareness, and Sequencing.

The HearBuilder program does a great job of keeping the kids engaged and interested by changing between practicing skills and playing bonus games and completing missions. Plus, the kids earn awards we are easily able to print out for their hard work too.

The Sequencing Program is the favorite of our older two children while our 3 year old prefers to work on the Auditory Memory program. I love the fact that I am able to help our children build on over 40 basic concepts while also building listening skills. I also love that Super Duper Publications included an easy way for me to print progress reports on each child’s work.

This is a top notch program that our family can’t rave about enough. *I received a sample in exchange for an honest blog review.

We were introduced to Super Duper products at my son’s speech therapist’s office. Between her office and school, we are excited to bring the same product for learning at home. I love watching him progress at his own pace in the comforts of home. Happy to now have access to all Hearbuilder instead of separate cds.

Extremely pleased with each phonological awareness module offered in this program. My patients are more receptive to completing phonemic awareness activities when presented in such an engaging and entertaining format! I had been using a similar software package but was looking for a fresh, updated program. Hear Builder’s Phonological Awareness exceeded my expectations and I appreciate the ability to monitor all of my patients’ progress!

My eight year old son reports that he “loves” to play this game and doesn’t even consider it to be a learning assignment. He likes that it has multi-level assignments in a mission format that is especially appealing to my adventure –loving son. He really likes the engaging characters and the interactive plot line as he moves through each level while improving his memory and concentration skills. One of the areas that we have focused on in particular for Adam is that he normally needs to have complete silence when completing a school assignment. This can be a challenge with two younger siblings and especially in the real world. I love that the HearBuilder program allows me to add background noise at the expert level so he can practice playing even in distracting situations.

My students love this interactive CD. It’s perfect for differentiating instruction, as I have the ability to customize each program based on the needs of my students. This product is very easy to use. Thank you Super Duper!

This is a great application program (app)that addresses four areas of auditory processing including: following directions, phonological awareness, auditory memory, and sequencing. The program graphics are clear, colorful and animated. There are many opportunities to practice the goals, which discreetly increase in difficulty. Each goal is introduced, and visually sequenced, so the child knows how many responses are left to complete. Verbal and tangible reinforcements encourage kids at each level, and provide feedback regarding performance. Strategies for success are provided such as visual cues for sentence segmenting and strategies for auditory memory. Loading client information and obtaining written reports are easily accomplished. Customer support for this product is excellent. It is an excellent auditory processing app, that children love to interact with.

My 6 year old is not great with listening and HearBuilder forces her to focus (something else she has issue with) and listen. Great for building memory and awesome for homeschool!

My daughter is really excited about using the computer lately, so I thought this would be the perfect thing to motivate her. She loved the games and activities. The first night she used it, she was crying when I told her it was time to go to bed because she wanted to “keep playing the game.” The CD includes activities that reinforce listening skills, such as a game where they display pictures of three items. The child hears an auditory list of the three items and then has to remember the order and click on them in the correct order. Then the game moves on to a more difficult task where there are six objects displayed but only three are used. This game would be perfect for a therapist to use with a small group of children. Another activity my daughter really liked was one where it shows a picture of several children and the directions would ask you to click on the child wearing glasses, or click on the boy wearing long pants, etc. The CD is very helpful to my daughter since she is developing number and letter / word recognition. When she is looking at the pictures of different objects, they are always labeled with a word underneath so she can become familiar with the spellings of the words. She really liked one of the numbers games, where secret agents have a mission to type in the secret code. The game plays an auditory message with a secret of numbers. Your child has to listen and remember the order of the three numbers and then type in the code on a number panel which resembles a calculator. These activities are particularly helpful to my daughter right now since she is just learning how to read. She can even play with a friend if she has a friend over. And the best part is she just feels like she’s playing a game, not doing something educational. I would recommend this CD to any teachers or parents looking to focus on listening skills and vocabulary or to build memory and work on word recognition.

This game is the best computer program we’ve come across. It still continues to be engaging after weekly playing. I love that it builds on necessary skills that will help the child succeed in school, work, and life.
