Review
Teachers Pick - Best for learning Sight Words --Scholastic Instructor Magazine

Review
This DVD is an animated teaching tool, not a cartoon show. I'll liken it to freshly squezed juice for a child vs. KoolAid! I am extremely picky about what my children view on any screen and Meet the Sight Words passed with flying colors. --The Old Schoolhouse Magazine

Review
The basic approach of seeing, hearing and repeating is given a fresh look that makes learning easy for pre-readers and struggling beginning readers. A must-have for every collection for young children. --School Library Journal

You'll be amazed at what your little one can do
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.

meet the numbers
My son is 2, a late talker and in the Autism Spectrum. After a few weeks of meet the numbers and meet the letters he can pick out almost all of his alphabet and he can point to all his number from 1 to 10. A great learning tool.

Good for Kindergarten classes and homeschoolers
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.
