I have a 4 year old son with autism, who has always loved the entire Baby BumbleBee series. They have really helped him to be able to generalize his vocabulary and expand his concepts.....like when he sees that there is such a thing as picture of a lion, and a toy lion, and a real lion.
I also have a sweet 2 year old girl who has only recently started talking. We of course were concerned, but she has really blossomed, especially in regards to this video! She and her brother will sit there together,and when they show a letter, they both will SHOUT it out at the same time. They also will repeat the sound the letters make along with the kids on the video. The video shows a variety of words that start with a letter(which both kids love announcing too!), then shows a little girl writing the letter. I keep foam letters in the bathtub,and now when my daughter gets her bath, she is so excited to pick up the letters and name them on her own.
All of these Baby Bumblebee videos have helped my kids with object labels which in turn has helped them improve their receptive language.

I think this is a good educational video that teaches letters, sounds, and words that begin with the letter. But, my kids don't seem to like the video. They leave after 10 minutes.

My little boy can now sound out words by recognizing the letters in the words and knowing what sounds those letters are supposed to make. The video is a true learning tool.

It is a great idea for a DVD, but the quality of the video was not good at all. My 14 month old was bored and wants me to change the DVD every time I try to put it in. He is much more interested in Baby Einstein.

This moderately entertaining dvd features kids only and has encouraged my 5 year old daughter to want write her uppercase alphabet. We have a big library of education dvds and this one adds diversity and is quite educational.

I really really wanted to believe in this product because it was created by professionals. The production was of poor quality and looked as if my child edited the video. This video is certainly not worth $19.95 when there are better options out there (Leapfrog's Letter Factory). Not meant to sound mean, but half the children on the DVD can't even speak properly nor do I want my child sounding like them. It's very unclear to me what age range they're targeting with this DVD as well. Save your money and buy "Meet the Letters" around 9mos-12mos and "Letter Factory" around 15-18 mos.

I bought this DVD along with many others from the Bumble Bee series. I was very excited to receive these DVD's based off of what I have read about them and their reviews. I have to admit, I am rather disappointed. The idea is great, as long you are using this as a learning tool instead of substituting parenting with a DVD. The quality is okay at best and it really does not hold my toddlers interest for longer than 5-10 minutes. For the price you pay, I was really expecting something better.

I found these DVDs were very good tools for teaching early learners for speech and word association. I have many friends that use them for Autism/ Speech Therapy, yes, it's that good.

It really got my son talking and recognizing words and things early. I know that not all kids are big fast learners but once you try like 5 DVDs you will get your kids interested in learning.

Excellent. I recommend the Bumblebee Volumes 1-5 DVDs also.

I checked this DVD out at the library before purchasing it since there are so many choices out there. I was surprised to see my 22 month old so interested in this...(I would've thought he'd be bored since there are no cartoon characters but instead he was focusing and enjoying the video). He repeats the letters and words just like the children in the video. This is a very educational video and somehow interesting to my son. The video shows different children sounding out letters and then multiple words that begin with that letter (along with pictures of the words), going through the entire alphabet. I would highly recommend this video.

my son watches this on demand on tv, he is only 18 months, but has learned quite a bit from it. he can tell you what letter comes after certain letters, and he has recognized a lot of written letters, like "A, F, Y, and X". I think it is definatly due to the videos that he knows the letters. He also finds it very interesting. It is not the most visual thing, they show real people saying the letters and then they show items that begin with that letter.
