Meet the Sight Words DVDs Great, Others Are Not
30 May 2009
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased the entire 7 Preschool Prep videos. I was very pleased with the "Meet the sight word" series. I purchased them as an experiment but after watching them 10-12 times (at about 20 min. a time since we didn't watch the repeats) my 5 year old learned almost all of the sight words and my 4 year old learned about 1/2 of the the sight words. It is WELL worth your money, as I have spent an entire school year trying to teach these words. Once the kids know them, it makes reading so much easier because they don't have to sound out every word. I prefer "Meet the sight words" over Your Baby Can Read just because the kids will see the sight words in print in almost any book they pick up.
As for "Meet the Letters" it is a huge disappointment. My kids were so bored with it that they wouldn't even sit through 1/3 of it. Also, IT DOES NOT INCLUDE LETTER SOUNDS, which is fundamental for reading success. I purchased "LeapFrog Letter Factory DVD." which is much better for teaching letters and sounds. It is 35 min. long and is much more engaging. I will be using the letter factory DVD and the meet the sight words DVD. I suggest buying the Meet the Sight words and not the "Meet the Letters, Numbers, Colors, or Shapes.

Great for kids, Torture for adults
27 Jan 2009
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this series for my 2 yr old son and a 3 yr old autistic child in my care.
My son was deathly afraid of the voices at first and would not watch it for more than 1-2 minutes without begging me to turn it off or go to bed (yes, it was that bad). However, I turned the volume down a lot (well below the norm), and now he absolutely loves the shows.
Now from an adult perspective... they suck! They're mind numbing, brainwashing, torture! All they do is repeat the same word over and over and over while showing the shape, letter, or color.
I do give them 5 stars though, because they do what they are meant to do. They hold the attention of active toddlers while teaching them something useful. They have helped the autistic child to verbalize and both boys love to watch them. As painstaking as it is for me to watch them, I would still recommend them.

Ok
5 May 2009
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this item and also the Leapfrog series. This series is rather boring for my 2 1/2 year-old. He hates to watch any of them. It would probably be better suited for a younger child, maybe 1+. There really isn't a story line, it simply says the letter name/sound OVER and OVER and OVER again while showing the letters.
The plus to this series is that it includes capital and lower-case letters, as well as several different types of fonts for each letter.
