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.

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.

Meet the sight words has been able to help both my 5 year old and my toddler recognize words!

This DVD is an excellent tool to use for any child learning to read. My 6 year old son picked up these words so quickly after watching the DVD and it reinforced what he is learning in school. My 3 year old also enjoys watching. I also recommend the other "Meet the" DVDs, including, "Meet the Letters". Great product!!

My 3 yrs memorized all of the words after the fourth time. Now when I read to her a book with my figer under each word, I get quiet when there is a sight word and let her read it.She loves the videos so much that sometime she will pick them other her regular cartoons. Those videos are great.

This is a great learning video for younger kiddos, ages 2-5. Older kids, ages 6+ might find it boring. My girls really enjoyed the words coming to life and saying their names. My three year old is just about ready to start learning sight words. She knows all of her capital letters and sounds from the leap frog series. She can even do some blending and rhyming. Now she is interetsed in learnign more about words.
Kids will surprise you.

I have bought these video's for my six and three year old. I use them for the car ride to and from school and they are so Awesome. I just wish that they would spell out the word too in the video.

all the sight word videos are must haves my kidos love the video and have learned all the sightwords from all of their videos and we even got the coloring books to help us along. great to learn the sight words that help early reading.

I was looking for something educational for my 3 year old daughter that she can both learn and enjoy at the same time and this has worked perfectly. She loves and watches it 3-4 times a day. I rather her watch this than other cartoons, unlike other cartoons she will learn words which will eventually increase her vocabulary and at the long run make her a better reader. Therefore, I would like to thank the inventors for bring a great product to the market and I hope they continue making more DVD like this one.

These videos to the parent (and perhaps to some children) are extremely dull, repetitive and the graphics are not the best so if you are hoping for some bright shiny miracle on the screen to put your child in a learning trance this is not going to cut it. The good news is the video works and it seems to have lasting results. I haven't put these on consistantly and my son doesn't stay still to watch them for more than 10 minutes at a time. I put them on sometimes while he is playing and he stops to look and pays attention and goes back to playing. We haven't used these videos in several weeks but this morning he was very proud he used the word was and spelled it out to me--which for me which is a testimony to its usefulness and staying power. I don't think this is a stand alone product--you still needs flash cards or other hands on teaching to turn what is memorization into learning. The animations and words don't seem to correspond, and my son has gotten side tracked as to why a letter is doing the laundry and so on so I wish it would be a little more on target but overall this product without forceful or calculated use has indeed helped build my childs ability to recognize several words. We have skipped around cds which is not the intent so its hard to know how many he knows but definitely more than 8 words he can visually recognize and spell to me from the back of the car after casual use. (My son is 3.25) I wish that the videos included a simple list of what words they taught because I had to sit down and write a list so we could work on the words in other ways. (writing them at color time, choosing three words and doing flashcards, putting one of the flashcards on the fridge)
