Teacher s Picks - Best for Learning Sight Words

The Meet the Sight Words DVD series covers all the basic sight words through engaging video. This layered approach to introducing sight words is very effective, says our tester. The child first sees the word in black letters, then colors and sounds are introduced until the child sees a graphic representation of the word. The sensory clues really help children retain the words. --Scholastic Instructor Magazine

Review
This DVD is an animated teaching tool, not a cartoon show. I'll liken it to freshly squeezed 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 (no pun intended). --The Old Schoolhouse Magazine

Sight Words 3
My children have all the other preschool prepco videos and when they entered preschool they were far ahead. I just added these for reading readiness and it's paid off already, my son just entered Kindergarten and even though he's PDD he's reading at level and above. These Rock!!!

my kids cry when i put these on...
I am a teacher and I thought the concept of these videos sounded good. I got "Meet the Sight Words" for my 4 year old and the numbers video for a 2 year old. They cry if I put them on. They say they are for babies, and boring. I have had great success with the Leap Frog videos, as well as Word World. I think pre-school prepco products are for the very young, as in under 2 years old.

Great way to learn sight words
Both my 3 and 5 yr old love these DVDs. They've been a good supplement to my 5 yr old's reading program, and the 3 yr old has started to identify some of these words in books as well. I would recommend the Meet The Sight Words DVDs as a supplement to a beginning reading program.
