5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent teaching tool for young children!, November 11, 2000

By	Ellen Potts "Ellen Potts" (Tuscaloosa, AL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"Learn to Read with Phonics" is actually a series of five 75 minute videos, all of which are included in the purchase price listed. The 75 minutes are subdivided into five 15 minute lessons. After each, the child/parent can choose to turn off the tape or go on to the next lesson. The series covers phonics, sight words and counting. At four years old, my child knew her letters and their sounds, but not how to put them together. After the third video, she could sound words like "banana." I found the quality of the set and costumes to be rather amateur. However, don't be put off by this! The content is excellent. My child was mesmerized by the tapes and learned a great deal. I highly recommend them.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have tool for teaching reading and writing, April 9, 1999

By A Customer

This is an excellent video for teaching phonic sounds and for teaching writing. This video will talk directly to the children and will hold their interest. Children quickly learn to write the alphabet and the basics of phonics for a good foundation for reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Captivating for the young ones, March 2, 2001

By	Ma WenRui "soukouslover" (Minneapolis, MN USA) - See all my reviews

While I nearly fell asleep after 10 minutes, I can testify that at least one 7 year old that I know has been watching these over and over and has shown some improvement in letter recognition, reading and 'writing'. The tapes seem to be very good. There are 5 tapes X 5 lessons X 15 minutes each. The 'witness' above runs through a whole tape at a time without losing interest. Wow! Definitely worth the money.
