Movie Reviews of So Smart - Letters
Movie Review: A Magical Experience For Your Child
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a 5 year old and a 5 month old. I am currently purchasing the DVDs for my new daughter and my newphew (6 mos). I've had the VHS trilogy for my son since he was born and want the updated DVD's -- though I play the videos for my daughter now and she loves them. They are incredible. The music selections are fantastic, recognizable, yet well considered. Peter and the Wolf, for example, was my favorite selection.
One reviewer said she was unimpressed with the "basic graphics." Let me remind them that this video is not for them, it's for their child, who likes it. I've NEVER seen a child not love these. I once held an all ages play group, my son was the youngest at 2, the children went up to 8. They started to get a little wild and as soon as I put on the video they ALL stopped in their tracks and started watching it. It's phenomenal.
These make the most wonderful gift for either your child, or for a niece/nephew/friend. I cannot say enough wonderful things about these programs -- they teach letters, shapes, and are better able to hold a child's interest than any other baby video out there (and we have baby einstein, too). the music is better as well. yes, the graphics are basic and frankly, a little odd sometimes -- but there is nothing i would hesitate to show to a child.
by the way -- my 5 year old comes in every time i put the video on for my daughter and watches it with her. he recognizes the music when he hears it elsewhere and gets excited when selections from familiar ballets, programs, are played. (i.e. the nutcracker, peter and the wolf, etc.)
Summary of So Smart - Letters
Parent participation is a must for this wordless video, which plays notable pieces by Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Chopin, and other composers while presenting the alphabet one letter at a time. Designed for babies beginning at 9 months up through pre-reading 4-year-olds, this tape adopts a slow pace, starting with the drawing of each letter, forming a single image to go with it and spelling out that word. What separates this tape from other alphabet education materials is that it sometimes chooses verbs and then demonstrates them. For instance, the J begins jumping and the R runs. The simple images will attract babies, and the calm, single-word-per-letter approach will help toddlers focus, rather than be bombarded by too many images. Parents can fill in the rest when necessary. --Kimberly HeinrichsSimilar DVD Movies
