Amazing!
I was looking for a DVD to help my 1.5 yr old recognize his letters, and after reading the other reviews for this DVD I decided to try it. I couldn't be happier. 1st of all I was really suprised to find that he loved it and wanted to watch the whole thing in one sitting. 2nd, it has helped him emensely with his talking, by teaching him how to make different sounds. 3rd, he can now tell me what sounds the letters "say" (just like asking him to tell me what a cat or dog says, he can tell me that the letter "T" says "Ta" and "S" says "SSSS")-- and he doesn't even know the alphabet yet. If you're considering this for your child I couldn't reccommend it enough. I'd also suggest supplementing it with LeapFrog's Fridge Phonics, which lets the kids play with the letters and fit them into a magnetic box that sings what sound each letter says, along with the alphabet song.
This is the best phonics teacher ever!
My 3 year old daughter and 4 year old nephew both learned the sounds of letters from this tape. I had worked with both of them, letter by letter, for months, and they watched this tape two or three times, and after following up with them a few times the knew all of their sounds. What a time saver!
A Must-have for Pre-schooler
This is a "must-have" to introduce the alphabet and the sounds each letter makes. I was not confident how to teach my child the alphabet and was reviewing Zoophonics which seems to be the recommended method to make learning the alphabet fun and captivating. Then a friend from the US recommended this DVD, plus the LeapFrog Word Factory, and voila! My child has learnt the alphabet, the sounds each letter makes, and gets excited when he recognises his letters in story books and everywhere we go! The marvellous thing is the DVD makes learning the alphabet so easy, also effortless! We have an alphabet playmat with removable letters, in the kids' playroom and as the show progresses from one letter to another, he will peel the corresponding letter off the floor mat, show it to me and make the sound of the letter. He just passed his 2nd birthday!
