I LOVE this video. It is the only one I have seen which includes sounding out words. It made me remember how much phonics Sesame Street used to teach. I've been watching the show and haven't seen any phonics. This video has a lot of old clips and some 'new' live action to tie it together. It is fifteen years old and shows it, but I wish there were more letter sounds and phonics offerings from Sesame street.

Here is a must-have Sesame Street video, a lot for nostalgia. There are classic cartoons and muppet segments from way-back-when. Great songs and great characters liven up this great video! END

This video shows kids how to sound out simple words. Great intro to reading for kids who know the letter sounds. The songs and skits are fun even for younger kids.

I purchased this video to introduce, reinforce and rehearse pre-reading skills with my 3 year old. This video features members of the Sesame Street Gang: ryhming, sounding out words, and playing with word families. The video subtily teaches the left to right direction for reading and reinforces phonics. The songs are catchy, which helps preschoolers to retain the concepts. My daugther is learning the songs and progessing forward in reading readiness quite well. I highly recommend this video for parents that want their children to have a strong foundation for reading.

I wanted to get my 2y/o something that would have phonics and be fun; loves Sesame Street. This show was annoying , boring and had a few strange scenes with characters that actually scared my son. I just tossed it.

My daughter learned how to read at three years old by watching this video everyday-she loved it! She would go around the house singing the songs which are so catchy that I still have them memorized after 14 years.I don't think they realize how much they are learning while enjoying this,and it didn't stop there,she loves reading even still and does wonderful in anything she chooses.So can't help but think maybe this had a little to do with it-my only complaint is that it doesn't come in dvd so a new generation can enjoy-'learn'

Parents,
This video is about sounding out words,rymeing,and reading. Songs are Mud and Op. Enjoy this video/VHS,movie
