Sight Words 1
Amazon is cheaper than everyone! This dvd is a must for reading readiness!!!
My children ask for me to play them daily

AMAZING!
Not only am I a parent, but I'm also a teacher. I recommend this video to everyone. My 2-year old daughter has about 25 sight words that she can recognize ANYWHERE. It took her several weeks to begin learning the words from the original first video. She enjoyed the viedos so much that she watched portions of them several times daily. I love that they have them segmented into 10-minute sections. We have had the 2nd video (actually the free supplmental one) for about one week, and she has already begun to name over half the words instantly. She really enjoys watching her word videos and loves to pick out her new sight words in the context of books. Even my 7-year old son is capitvated by the videos.

I direct a tutoring program, and have my 4-year old pre-K students watching them at home as well as my 7-year old struggling first grader. All of their parents are amazed at how quickly they are learnng the words--especially the first grader who didn't learn a single sight word in all of kindergarten. It took me 2 months to teach him 3 sight words. Once he started watching the video (2 weeks ago), he has begun to recognize 5 - 6 new words already. His mom couldn't be more pleased.

My friend and I teach our daughters together a few times weekly. It's neat that both my 2-year old and her early 3-year old can reconize all the words from the original video (23 words). 6 months ago, I would never have imagined teaching such advanced lessons to such tiny children. Because of the video, they are actually reading real books. It's amazing!!

I will say that children who are accustomed to watching a lot of tv, especially those rapidly paced cartoons probably will not enjoy these videos. They have a very slow pace (which is neccesary to accomplish their purpose) and there is no thrill. Neither of my children watch a lot of tv (and never the cartoons with the fast animation), so they are able to fully enjoy this video.

I wasn't as impressed with the Letter Video though, and neither was my daughter. She just never got "into" it. I think that Leap Frog Letter Factory is superior AND it also teaches the letter sounds. We always skip the beginning of that video and go straight to the letters.

Another great learning tool from Preschool Prep!
We've loved all the Preschool Prep DVDs. My 3-1/2 year old has learned letters (at 19 months!), numbers and now these sight words. Bravo Preschool Prep.

Great video for reluctant student! Builds pride and confidence!
My 6-year old son loves this engaging DVD. He has problems just sitting down and doing school work, but this DVD catches and holds his attention. After just a few viewings of this DVD, he has memorized quite a few of the words. I am trying to get him to learn them before he starts first grade so he won't need so much extra tutoring. It's heartwarming to see his pride and gratification when he gets a word correct. I can see the sense of accomplishment, his confidence growing and that is priceless! He's learning to READ and it is exciting to him!

A charming and helpful tool to help little kids get started on the joy of reading
Meet the Sight Words 1 begins this delightful, educational DVD series for young children. Ideal for little people ages 15 months to 6 years, Meet the Sight Words 1 helps children learn to read basic words such as "of", "play", "it", "he", "you", "in", "I", "to", "have", "and", "a", "said", "is", "the", "for", and "that" through anthropomorphic graphics that bring the letters to life, followed by a transition to printed text. For example, the word "play" is brought to life with a smiling letter p holding the letter "l" as a baseball bat, while the letter "a" is made up as a baseball glove and a happy letter "y" sits like a game spectator. A charming and helpful tool to help little kids get started on the joy of reading, great for preschool DVD libraries as well as for parents' homes. 40 minutes.
