Meet the Phonics - Letter Sounds DVD

As a homeschooling Mama to 3 kiddos, ages 3-8 currently, I needed something for the littlest one to learn letter sounds and recognition while I was doing school with the older two. Our 3 year old is most confident in his letter recognition and sound because of Preschool Prep videos.

Let me start off by saying I'm a mom of 5 my oldest is 5 years old and youngest is 21 months we watch this video Monday thru Friday on our way to daycare then to school so we watch it for about a good 30 minutes each day then we repeat my children love this video and will pick it over an actual movieWith this being said how the kids have progressed and learned since we got this video is amazing within a month my older kids can almost get every sound without someone saying it and for my two youngest they have been able to pick up on some alreadyI am totally recommending this for your children by the way very catchy songs

I cannot sing this series enough praises. My two children, ages 3 and 1, watch one of these DVDs once a day. As evidence of their effectiveness, my three year old daughter can pick out any of the sounds/words in this series any time we are reading a book togehter, when we are out in public, and if she happens to look at a page that I am reading. My son, who can barely speak, has limited speech capacity and he is able to distinctly verbalize these words and sounds. I really don't care if some educators are against learning in this way. It works. This is hands down the best way that I have found to teach my children (along with reading)- and my friends and family are literally blown away by what they have seen my children read at such a young age. Do you want to feel like the best parent in the world (at least temporarily)? Then buy this DVD series. You will be creating baby geniuses!

My five year old niece was struggling with sounding words out. She knew the individual letter sounds but she couldn't understand how they worked together to form words. We watched this ONCE and suddenly it all clicked! I've literally never seen ANYTHING work this quickly. At the end of the video she was sounding words out. She understood why the vowel sounds were occasionally different and was no longer frustrated by her spelling list.What's more, the video helped me to understand where she was getting confused and which concepts to explain and reinforce. I've used three different apps, workbooks, and other videos but she always ended up frustrated and confused. This is the one that finally worked! I cannot overstate how wonderful it is to see her finally excited about reading!

My 1 year loves this video. I was looking for something that he could watch while I did chores to keep him occupied. He already knew numbers, shapes, and letters after doing the Your Baby Can Read series, so I thought this would be a great intro to phonics. Your Baby Can Read does not teach phonics, but word memorization which is still great to me and he is able to indentify objects and words before the age of 2. This video does teach both short and long vowels sounds at the end with the phonics song. It also has a cute song for vowels. By the end of the 1st week, he was able to do the sounds for all the letters! Now I will say this. If your child is used to high animation cartoons, then this video may bore them. I figured if my son is going to watch TV, then educational DVDs were the way to go since the take care of two birds with one stone.

These are great and keep my son entertained while learning.

The way this program breaks down the sounds for the children is wonderful. I don't like for my children to just learn how to read by total sight word memory, so I always look for programs that have the old fashioned phonics to help them along the way. Being a stay at home mom and teaching my children phonics the way I do is very important to me and this program falls right in line with what I already do with my little ones. One has already learned how to read before kindergarten and my three year is on track to be reading within the next few months thanks to this type of program combined with enhanced at home learning. I would totally recommend this program to my friends and family!

As a douceur to convince my daughter(31m) to start blending C-V-C words, I've cracked open my wallet and loaded Preschool Prep's "Meet the Phonics: Letter Sounds" onto our Kindle Fire. Let me tell you, as somebody who has turned green from watching Leap Frog videos about 100 times, and who can sing the "Rusty and Rosie" songs by heart, "Meet the Phonics" is a nice change of pace!That being said, I don't think that "Meet the Phonics" would make the best starter video for a young learner because it introduces a lot of information very quickly. Conceptually, "Meet the Phonics" teaches material covered in Leap Frog's "Letter Factory", "Talking Words Factory", and "Talking Words Factor Two", all put together.What is really interesting to me as a parent, is right in the middle of "Meet the Phonics" when they start showing a slot machine that blends C-V-C words, My two year old starts to immediately lose interest and starts wildly touching the screen trying to change the Kindle over to something else. This is proof yet again that she is still not ready to blend... Nevertheless, this video is still a great pick.
