Editorial Reviews

Learning sight words has never been this easy!

Many words don t follow basic decoding rules and are taught in pre-k and kindergarten classrooms as 'sight words', 'instant words', 'high frequency words' or 'star words'. A new reader finds sight words very frustrating until they are memorized. A good reader will be able to instantly recognize sight words without having to 'figure them out'. Preschool Prep Company makes learning sight words fun and easy. With 16 sight words the viewer will continue to build from the foundation created by Meet the Sight Words 1. The combination of the Meet the Sight Words 1 & 2 teach the top 20 Fry words, the top 20 Dolch words and the Houghton Mifflin kindergarten list. Preschool Prep Series DVDs have won over 25 national awards and are used in thousands of schools. You will be amazed at how easily your little one can learn sight words!

This review is from: Meet the Sight Words 2 (DVD)

I purchased Meet the Sight Words 1,2,&3 DVDs for my 5 year old son. He has caught on really quick and can pick out almost all the sight words from the 1st DVD. Once we complete DVDs 2 & 3 he should be able to read a short story. This was a great investment and I wish I would have learned about it earlier.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rated AWESOME by /Former 1st Grade Teacher/Reading Specialist, May 14, 2009

This review is from: Meet the Sight Words 2 (DVD)

This movie is awesome! Buy it! You will make learning sight words fun, quick, and easy when doing so is rarely the case. It calls children's attention to the letters and "shape" of the word through anamation so that they remember what the word looks like in order to memorize it. It's an ideal memorization tool. (Sight words cannot be sounded out.) And, the list includes both the Dolch (older list) and Fry (more updated) high-frequency words. I am a former first grade teacher and I have my masters as a Reading Specialist. (I currently stay home with my children.) After watching the movie 2-3 times, my 4 year old could read every word instantly. While you teach sight words, continue to practice phonics and sounding out simple 2-3 letter words with short vowel sounds so your child learns decoding skills, too.
