Movie Reviews of Meet the LettersMovie Review: This really works! Summary: 5 Stars
We got this for our son before he was a year old. We put it on for short periods of time at home and he seemed to show an interest. When he was able to sit forward facing in his car seat is when the benefits started to show.
I have to drive my two older children to school and back every day since they go to a Catholic school. We have a DVD player in our van and I started putting this on for my son since he was a captive audience. There isn't much else for a child of one to do while sitting in the car for 20 minutes at a time. I was surprised at how interested he was in it. He really enjoyed watching it, though the older kids found it painful. We played this for a while, but he was a late talker (so were my others) and he didn't want to show me the letters I asked in his book so I wasn't sure if it was making a difference.
Jump ahead to now. My son is 21 months old. He knows all of his letters. Instead of his beginning speech being words, it was letters. I think this made it easier for him because now he learns a new word every day, I think by putting the basic letter sounds he could say together helped immensely. The other benefit I forsee is reading. He is like a child who just learned how to read. When they first get the grasp of reading, they can't help but read everything before their eyes. My son is constantly saying the letters he sees. He loves to watch shows like Jeopardy because he runs to the TV, points to the letters, and says them with excitement in his voice, like he realizes they are a part of something bigger and not just something from a kids' show! Now my son brings me his Magna Doodle and puts my hand on his to help him draw the letters. This did not happen with my older children who are both very good and avid readers.
I believe that all children could benefit from this, even if they only take away a familiarity with the sound and shape of the letters. I wish they had this for my older children. I would recomend this for any child who doesn't know their whole alphabet yet. I hope you get results as amazing as we were fortunate to!
