My Project

BRING LEARNING TO LIFE: Press the Hot Dots Light-Up Interactive Pen to an answer dot on any one of dozens of Hot Dots and Hot Dots Jr. books, activities, and card sets for an interactive screen-free learning experience.Hot Dot Pens are the perfect tool to use with interactive flash cards.

Each student will have their own pen to use with sets of flashcards our classroom already has for each subject and tons of topics taught in the 3rd grade.

INSTANT FEEDBACK: Pen provides audio feedback and lights up green for correct responses and provides gentle redirection and lights up red for incorrect answers. Sounds can be muted. (Pen requires 2 AAA batteries, not included.)

CONFIDENCE BUILDING: Immediate audio and visual feedback enables kids to learn on their own at their own pace, building academic confidence and encouraging independent learning!

BUILT FOR KIDS: This sleek and sturdy child-size pen features a soft grip and a clip for easy storage.

PERFECT FOR AT-HOME LEARNING: The Hot Dots pen is compatible with dozens of Hot Dots and Hot Dots Jr. learning activities covering a wide range of academic subjects, providing a perfect way to introduce and practice critical learning skills at home!
