Movie Reviews of Meet the Sight Words 1
Movie Review: 20 mos old loves it, but....
Summary: 5 Stars
My grandson has the whole Preschool Prep series and loves to watch them over and over EXCEPT this one - the sight words. He is afraid of the chameleon used for the word "and" and I have to be there to stop the video and skip the word completely. Sometimes he is too nervous to watch it at all and covers his eyes and says "No No". He asks for the shapes, colors, numbers DVDs again and again. (He calls them his "movies"). He watches no TV at all.
He is going to be 2 this weekend and he has known his colors, numbers and shapes for several months due to these great DVDs. It's extra fun playing with him and having him refer to his Legos by color and counting peas on his plate, etc. Walking down the street he points at "rectangles", "triangles", colors of flowers, letters, etc. He got really excited by the Big Letters on a Fed Ex truck recently saying "BIG X" and "BIG E" etc.
I'm so sorry he's afraid of the chameleon sequence in this DVD - it has sort of scary music and the creeping reptile that sets him off. We are going to try another of the sight words DVDs from another company since he seems to really want to learn to use his letters and read.
Movie Review: Wish there were more DVD's with ALL the sight words!

I have a DVD player in my truck, where I allow my child to watch TV while we're in the car (which I love because then we don't watch any TV at home!). I bought her these DVD's because I wanted her to get a head start & honestly to see if she could even pick reading up at her age. When I first put the DVD in, I thought this isn't going to last long as all the narrator does is repeat the words over and over - I couldn't see my 2 yr. old sitting through something like that. To my dismay, my daughter absolutely loves them! With in a week she started remembering the words and now, everywhere we go, I'll have her read to me (this is especially useful to keep her occupied while standing in line at a store or even in a restaurant while waiting for our meal). I would recommend these products to anyone who has a child just starting to talk! You will be amazed at how quickly they can pick it up. I don't know that I would buy it for a child older than 3 ½ or 4, as again, I'm not sure they'll have the attention span for it. Ultimately though, I love these DVD's - I'm now buying the book set so we can practice reading & comprehending!Movie Review: My boys can't get enough of this DVD

I am a mother of two boys ages 3 and 2. My three year old is autistic, although high functioning. Both of my kids beg to watch this DVD and will watch it as many times as I will allow. After the first couple of days both of them had mastered all of the sight words in this movie and yet they still keep asking to watch it. I have since ordered the second and third knowing they will love those as well. I know they are aware of these words outside the scope of the movie as well because they will often point out words they know on signs and in books. These are not the first words my boys have learned to read. My oldest is able to phonetically sound small words out to pronounce them, this is part of his autism called hyperlexia. He has always had an affinity for letters, words, numbers, and symbols but this DVD is a great addition to our home library that they will watch again and again. I don't think that all kids will have an interest in this DVD but my boys already have a natural love of letters. If your kids are interested in the topic, they will learn the sight words as well.Movie Review: Surprised that it worked

The first time my mom and I watched this video with my 5 year old, I was very skeptical. It didn't make any sense how the words associated with the animations and graphics. For example "the" is displayed on a helicopter. However, I had been teaching my daughter a few sight words for about 3 months and she was struggling. She only watched the video twice and the next time I was reading a book to her she was pointing out "play", "said" "for" "it" "he" and "the" - words that I had not even taught her yet. In addition, we had been working on the word "and" but she always stumbled and paused for a long time when she saw "and" while reading it. However, after watching the video twice, she hasn't struggled with it again.
The only thing I didn't like was that they don't teach "See", "like" "my" and "here" which are some of the first words that the Houghton Mifflen program teaches. I guess I have to buy Sight Words 2.
The words on this video are:
of, play, it, he, you, in, I, to, have, and, a, said, is, the, for & that.
Movie Review: Awesome teaching DVD

I already own all of the preschool prep DVDs: meet the shapes,colors,letters and numbers. I believe I purchased these when my son was not quite three. He had all of them mastered after watching each one for a couple of days several times in a row (at his request). I thought at almost 3 1/2 years old he may be ready for meet the sight words. After watching it a couple of times he had already put a couple of the words to memory. We've owned the video since 5/6/09 and he knows all 15 sight words! I can write them down on paper and he has no trouble figuring out what they are. These DVDs keep my son better entertained than most of the garbage on TV and he is learning at the same time. I am very pleased with these videos! There is a lot of repetition in this video and the others in the series, but it works. The sight words included in this DVD are:
play,to,of,in,is,it,that,have,he,and,for,you,the,said,a,I
