Movie Reviews of Meet the Letters
Movie Review: Excellent learning tool for introducing your child to the alphabet
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this video because my 3.5 year old learned his letters (both upper and lower-case) in a week. Sadly, he did not have much exposure to the alphabet prior to this video so we were extremely happy with how quickly he learned. I thought he would get bored with it because it's very repetitious (eg. the letter 'A' is repeated several times with the image flashing in different positions) but they do use that same letter 'A' as a cute character (a rocket that takes off into the sky while saying 'A') which my child loves. Each letter (both upper and lower-case) has a different character (although the upper and lower-case of each letter is similar - for example, letter 'A' and 'a' are both rockets in different environments). The kids voices used for the characters are also endearing to hear over-and-over...which we do watch over-and-over-and-over at my oldest son's request. (My 18 mo old son loves this video also!)Movie Review: Excellent learning tool.

I never thought I'd say this about something my son watches on television, but the Preschool Prep Series products are fantastic. My little guy has gone through the numbers, colors, shapes, and letters and really has learned all of them. He's only 22 months and has complete letter recognition, shape recognition, can count to 20, and identifies colors accurately. The DVD's can be watched in segments or for the entire 30-40 minutes. As we introduced each new DVD, he was a not quite as interested as in the previous one but by the second or third time, he really enjoyed it and started identifying the material.
As a teacher, I highly recommend this product. The pace is slow with simple colors and melodies. My son has been able to generalize his new skills into early reading and play. Meet the sight words is next and we are very excited to watch him learn!
Movie Review: I was a huge skeptic...
Summary: 5 Stars
Very Boring if you are an adult. I'm not gonna lie. Actually, it's not only boring, but can be quite irritating. Here is the synopsis: Each uppercase and lowercase dances around the screen while a voice repeats over and over what they are in an annoying little voice.
But for my 22 month old, it was AMAZING. He watched it every day for a month, and he now knows ALL of his letters, uppercase and lowercase. He even reads them to me upside down. He just turned 25 months old, and we are now working on the sounds each letter makes. I'm on my way to buy Meet the numbers and meet the shapes now. I love how well and quickly my son learns things from these movies!
I would recommend this DVD to ANYONE who has a toddler.
Movie Review: My son learned letters!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
My son is three years old and struggled to learn letters in preschool. We tried many other educational toys and DVDs but couldn't find anything that would work. I read that Meet the Letters won Dr. Toy's 10 Best Educational Products Award so I bought it for my son. He watched it about a dozen times and sure enough learned the whole alphabet (both upper and lowercase). At the beginning of his Christmas break he knew no more than 5 letters (all uppercase). He just went back to school and was so excited to show his teachers that he knew all of his letters. They couldn't believe that he had learned them in such a short period of time. I just bought a copy for the school so that other kids can benefit from this amazing video.Movie Review: My 2 year old knows all her letters!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love love love it. My daughter is not yet 2 and she knows all her letters, upper and lower. She watched this maybe 10 or 15 times over the last few months and now she knows them all! It is a great tool with extra features like the alphabet song and virtual flash cards. The only downside, if there is one, is that once she learned her letters that was it, no more interest in watching it. I am totally ok with that, we use other methods to keep her practicing. Just be prepared, if your child is a fast learner this will serve it's purpose in a short period and then be ready to pass on for another child's benefit. We have also used "Meet the Colors" with the same results, and are now working on "Meet the Numbers."
