Many words don’t follow basic decoding rules and are taught in pre-k and kindergarten classrooms as ‘sight words’, ‘instant words’, ‘high frequency words’ or ‘star words.’ A new reader finds sight words very frustrating until they are memorized. A good reader will be able to instantly recognize sight words without having to ‘figure them out.’ Preschool Prep Company makes learning sight words fun and easy by implementing the technique used in their other award winning DVDs (Meet the Letters, Meet the Numbers, Meet the Shapes and Meet the Colors). Now childreen can master sight words witht the same rapid speed that they learned letters, numbers, shapes and colors! Preschool Prep DVDs have won over 25 national awards and are used in thousands of schools! You will be amazed at what your little one can learn.

Well, I personally think these are awful. I bought them because of all the great reviews.My son and daughter, ages 2 & 4, like them though, so I gave it 3 stars. They are so repetitive and boring, not to mention strange. Maybe they will help my kids, I don’t know, but I can’t stand to be in the room.

My 18 month old has a large vocabulary and has been a voracious reader for months, we read a lot together and she has started to pick up words by sight anyway. I read at an early age too, so I don’t think it is particularly unique. So we’ve started to introduce some reading DVDs in addition to hard copy books and she has just been a sponge. We love the Baby can Read series (I guess because it is multi-sensory based and the words are in context with narration, pictures, songs and poems, just as a parent would narrate to their child) She has learned all those words, the site words are now missing from her vocabulary before we can start really reading. With these DVDs she seems to relate to them and she is picking up the words, however I have to sit with her and use the words in context to ensue she understands what the word means not just what it looks like. I am disappointed that the video doesn’t use the word in context till the end of the DVD and then the words are not read in context – someone else has to read the “signs”. The word cartoons are not even easy to draw contextual reference from either. The reading section which puts the words they have learned into practice is only 4-5 sentences long. I was hoping for more I guess. I guess if this is the best thing out there, it is still better than flash cards. I’m inclined to believe that lots of reading to your kid, using early reader books and pointing to the words as you go, would probably achieve the same ends.

I liked the shapes, colors, numbers and letters better, but this one is good also.

I think the younger the better for this set. My four year old will set down and watch it but my 7 year old is not interested at all. Probably would work really well for 2-4 years of age.

I BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT FOR MY THREE YEAR OLD SON WHO S NOW BEGINING TO READ, AND THIS PRODUCT IS VERY HELPFUL. WE WATCH THESE DVDS’ DAILY AND HE KNOWS THE WORDS AND RECOGNIZE THEM WHEN WE ARE OUT.
I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT, I THINK ITS A MUST HAVE.I WISH I HAD LEARNED ABOUT IT EARLIER, BUT I AM TELLING OTHER PARENTS ABOUT HOW GOOD THIA PRODUCT IS.
