PROFILE |
 |
Hooked on Phonics is back. After filing for bankruptcy protection in 1995, the learn-to-read program was resurrected as Gateway Learning by new owner and CEO Chip Adams. As a partner in Rosewood Capital, Adams helped bring in money to retool the program with the assistance of teachers, writers, artists, and families. An improvement in the product was the inclusion of engaging stories and characters, as opposed to straight phonics drills. Hooked on Phonics was created by John Shanahan, who sold more than 1.5 million copies before his Gateway Educational Products filed for bankruptcy. Gateway Learning also produces Hooked on Math, adult-geared reading programs, and provides educational content for AOL Time Warner.
