Power Pen

I loved it but he liked to guess the wrong answer to laugh at the sound. Didn't work for us. Reverse learning. He guessed all but the correct answer and laughed.

This is the second power pen I purchased because my kids like them so much. I purchased this pen and it worked great, but a few months in, it started marking everything as wrong. Through Amazon, I was referred to Product Support and called the number to the manufacturer. Their customer service was excellent! An actual person picked up the phone (WOW!) and she got a new power pen to us within 48 hours... and this is during their busy season! I am so impressed that I will continue to purchase educational items from this manufacturer. What we bought from them has been generally good quality and, coupled with the customer service, they have a long term customer in me. Would definitely recommend.

Bought this pen from here after receiving cards from Lake Shore. Cards & Pen BOTH were same brand but did not work together! All answers were showing "incorrect." Through heavy searching i found that they're in fact different systems despite having the same name and looking the exact same. Super frustrating! But lesson learned-Lake Shore cards go with LS & Amazon goes with Amazon.

My students love using the pen with the cards. Super easy to use. Just add batteries and it's ready to go.

I love using the power pen cards and hot dots cards. Both of my sons love them and will happily pull them out and use them! The pen here really surprised me as IT WORKS ON BOTH POWER PEN AND HOT DOTS PRODUCTS!! Since we use both products. This was a wonderful surprise to find out! My older son challenged whether or not it could be used on hot dots. It worked to both our amazement. I am glad as I had just ordered a hot dots pen due to our old one being too worn out to work anymore. This had made me put up the hot dots books and cards because that pen isn't due to arrive til the fifteenth! I absolutely recommend this pen and the lite pen!!!

My class loves these, but I have gone through at least 2 a year for the past 3 years for breaking. With normal wear, eventually they stop reading answers correctly, loose sound functionality, or don't work all together and need to be replaced.

I am a teacher and have been tutoring my own grandchildren (grades 2-4) at home during covit-19. When I started to see a drop in my grandchildren's reading and comprehension test scores I purchased this pen along with the reading cards. Learners are given a story and then on the back 4-5 multiple choice questions to test comprehension. My grandkids are excited to do the work and often have to remind me if it is their time to work on it. The pen gives immediate answers by either lighting up red for wrong or green for correct along with a sound effect. A great learning tool especially if parents need to tutor their own children.

This works so much better than I thought it would, especially for the price being so low.

Very short life span - one of the pens the light no longer works and another always gives the red/wrong answer every time.
