5yr old loves it
Love them! It seems to work he knows them when I do the flash cards sold separately. He enjoys watching all 3 DVDs, so far! He's 5 and in kindergarten for reference.

awesome video
My two year old loves learning. Between 14 and 18 months she picked up the alphabet and recognition, sounds, shapes, colors, and numbers 1-10 in english and spanish. She taught herself through tablet apps. It's a year later and i decided she may like sight words and learning to read. I rented the Meet the Sight words 1-3 and they were a hit. After 1 or 2 viewings each, she had learned them all. She knew some of them already, but because of this company's videos, she learned the rest with ease. After she proved she knew those, I rented the digraph video and again, it only took a few viewings for her to learn them. I love these videos and though I'm not sure I'll buy them physically since she caught on so fast, I'll definitely give as gifts or recommend to others I know. She's currently watching the blends video. It's longer than the other videos, so she loses interest towards the end and doesn't catch those blends. However, she's catching on quickly. I should add that all of the stuff I just said happened over a period of a week. They're awesome videos, I'm glad I ran across the 'sh' video on youtube. My daughter instantly loved it, which is what prompted our week of Sight Words and Phonics. I'm elated that she's pre-k/kindergarten ready at only 2.5! If you're still hesitant, go on youtube and let your little one watch the previews to determine if these are the right videos for them.

Worth every penny
My daughter travels with me a minimum of 2 hours every day to and from work.There's only so many times I can listen to Trolls before I start feeling like a Bergen.Bought level 1 because I figued of i'm going to have to listen to something 2-3 hours every day because my child wants to watch it, it might as well be educational (and actually teach her something).Well, 4 year old daughter learned all of them in 5 days. π±Went back and bought the other 2.Learned them in roughly two weeks... π±π±πππΆβ€πWent back and bought the phonics, addition & subtraction and multiplication & division (bc I'd rather have them now for later).All in all, they all seem well worth the money.I will comment though that I will be waiting to show the 'phonics: letter sounds' to my daughter for a little while...She had gotten bored of the sight words DVDs so I put the phonics letter sounds in and she did like it but it started going over her head about 15-20 minutes in.However, highly recommend.

The repetition helps but can be boring for older children.
My child is in Kindergarten but needs a lot of repetition before she can retain memorized facts. I knew going in that the DVD was probably going to be a bit boring for her, especially since it seems like it's geared toward younger children, but I just wanted to pop it into the DVD in our car so she got extra practice while we weren't able to work on them together at home. I bought all three DVDs and the third set of books.The DVDs are pretty boring -- to the point that she tunes it out before she's learned all the words because she's bored to tears. That being said, it has helped her remember some of the words better than if we were just working on them at home. Overall I'm glad I got them but I wish I had seen it a couple years ago when it would have held her attention longer. If your child has a hard time focusing their attention on the TV you might want to think twice about getting the DVDs.The books are another story -- those are great. Based on other reviews I only got the third set that contains all the words from the three DVDs and I really do like them. Somehow every sentence is made from mostly sight words, which means it's great practice of all the words. I'm sure you're all familiar with Level 1 readers that have a few sight words sprinkled throughout the book with most of the words being longer, sound-out types that make it more difficult for a budding reader. Even the books aimed at being "sight word" helpers don't typically include very many sight words. These books actually have a lot of the words in them, in easy sentences, with engaging story lines. I actually like them better than Bob books. Totally worth the money.

Meet the Sight Words
The whole series 1-3 we purchased together. We got these when our son was 3. Within a few short months he mastered all the site words. Just as the video says .. you will be surprised just how easy your little one can learn. He just turned 6 and doing well in figuring out how to sound out words on his own.I must add that I just didn't plop him in front of the tv and said here you go and walk away. I got involved along with him. Made flash cards and a game out of it for him like when he would run from one end of the room to the other, he would call out the word I held up as he ran, jumped, or scootered by. It was so much fun.We also bought the readers that go along with these and read one a day till he mastered these.Meet the Sight Words 12 Easy Readers Books. There are 3 levels, with 12 readers in each level.There are several good choices out there but this is what we choose and it worked really well for us.

Love all of the Preschool Prep DVD's!
My son was introduced to the Preschool Prep DVD's a few months before he turned 3 and he loves all of them! The first time he watches a new DVD, he does not express an interest, but I watch it with him and say the words out loud and he catches on very quickly. He just turned three and now knows about 30 sight words by memory and loves looking for them in books and signs. I understand what people are saying about the animations not matching the words, but they make the connection. My son will point to the word "in" and say that it is the peacock one (because there is a peacock in the animation). He makes that connection and then memorizes the word that much faster. I did not buy the letters/numbers/colors DVD's because he knows all of those already.Parents need to watch this with their kids and apply it to the real word!!

My kids love it.
My kids can wait to watch this DVD once it arrived. It is good and my kids memorize all the words now.
