As a parent and preschool director this is the best video I have seen that teaches children their sight words. My 6-year-old daughter has learned her sight words from this video and has watched it over and over again learning something new each time. I have a M.Ed. in early childhood education and I used this video with my own child. As much as I wanted to teach her how to read she would refuse to learn from my guidance. Barbara Phipps uses phonics but teaches it in a fun and age appropriate way. She teaches the proper way to write letters and stays within the national language standards for early childhood and elementary education. Children learn at their own pace with lessons that are an average of 15-minute segments. Children stay interested and learn. I have recommended this video to many parents of children the ages of 3-6 and those who have borrowed it from me or purchased their own has had success. The setting is a bit outdated, but children who view it do not seem to notice.

This is the worst learning to read video I have ever seen. My little girl does not like it either and I don't blame her. It is a low budget joke of learning video. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON IT!
