 Meet the Sight Words great learning toolMay 30, 2009
By A. Rother
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.

 Good for Kindergarten classes and homeschoolersJul 10, 2009
By Amy M. Earls
While the DVDs are meant to be viewed by preschoolers, they do a fantastic job at capturing the attention of kindergarteners as well. I am a big proponent of phonics, but some words just do not follow the phonic rules; we call them sight words. The videos are animated in a way that repeats the information in a way that continues to capture the child's attention. For example, the word is repeated several times while changing the background. My only criticism is that the DVD does not play continuously, that is, you have to play each segment separately. It would be more convenient if the DVD has a "play all" selection. If you are homeschooling a beginning reader, then these are definitely worth the cost. They are a wonderful supplement to your lessons. DVD quality is also very good.

You'll be amazed at what your little one can doFeb 11, 2009
By Sprout's Mama
That is the tagline for Preschool Prep and it is absolutely true. I would never have bought any of the DVDs but for a friend loaning us Meet the Letters, Meet the Shapes and Meet the Colors. My son went crazy for them and picked up information from them like a sponge, so for Christmas I bought him this set and they were his favorite gift by far. He loves the videos and has mastered recognizing all of the sight words and spelling most of them. I find that they have also been an excellent jumping off point for learning other words. (After learning "at" and "that", he has been able to learn "bat" "hat" "cat" "fat", etc.) It really is amazing. Between this and learning a few other words, my 2 year old can read a few books. He loves to point out his sight words when we are out and about and people never cease to be surprised that he is 2 and picking out words like "play" and "they" by himself. I don't know if all children will be as interested, but my little one thinks these DVDs are the best.

Daughter loves themJun 06, 2009
By R. Ruston
Unlike other reveiwers, i did not get these videos for my 2 year old. Because, there's really no reason a two year old needs to learn to read. My daughter is 5, and loves them. After watching video number one for two weeks she knows all the words, and picks them out in books. Same thing with video 2. I pair these videos with her sight word books, and sometimes she can read a whole sentence by herself, just from all the sight words she's learned. While the video is a little boring for me, saying the word a million times, this is how kids learn, and i have no problem listening to "AND" fifty times. Also, my daughter is like a lot of kids growing up with CGI movies, but she still has no problem with these videos being regular cartoons. I would recommend this set to anyone wanted to help their kids.

 Meet the SightwordsJun 01, 2009
By L. Bartel
"Lisabart"
My daughter's teacher recommended these DVD's. I use them in the car when we are driving. I was hoping they would be a bit more like the Leap Dvd's but instead they use repetition as the sole source of learning. It tends to get a bit boring after a while. My 6 year old will watch them for a little while but does get bored with them. My 3 year old will watch them longer. Overall, not a bad way to introduce the sight words and in the car where there is nothing else to watch the dvd will hold their attention a bit more.
