Editorial Review
Reading is fundamental, and now it’s fun, too! A joint production of Scholastic and Fisher-Price, the Read with Me DVD series reinvents classic children’s stories, animating words and images in an exciting way that encourages story comprehension, reading, and vocabulary skills. Slip in any of the series DVDs and the television transforms into a library. Miss Spider’s Tea Party by David Kirk is a classic story about the rewards of kindness, as a gentle spider searches for friendship. Kids can listen and watch the animated story, or choose to play along using the sturdy wireless console (sold separately). Read & Play brings the animated tale to life--words highlight as the narrator reads along, asking fun questions that encourage story comprehension and vocabulary skills. Story Games offers enjoyable, interactive games and the Parent Guide contains tips for reading aloud. As reading skills develop, My Turn to Read encourages children to read at their own pace without the narrator. With over 100 activities and interactive questions, Miss Spider’s Tea Party is sure to please both parents and preschoolers. --Heather Lyndon

Product Description
When nobody wants to come along and sit beside her, generous Miss Spider is truly confused. Luckily she gets her chance to prove her good intentions and her vegetarian nature.

Designed in conjunction with a major children's publisher, Scholastic, the Read With Me DVD Learning System is a story comprehension and vocabulary system bringing timeless children's books even closer on DVD. Beloved illustrations are brought to life with thoughtful animation, the text is highlighted and read aloud to children. Children answer questions about the story using a wireless controller. Increasing their comprehension of the story and vocabulary will give them confidence in their own ability to analyze stories in general.

5.0 out of 5 stars EDUCATIONAL DVD THAT TEACHES A FEW LESSONS., December 19, 2005

By	Kyle'sMom (NJ, USA) - See all my reviews

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This DVD is about Miss Spider trying to find guests to come to have tea with her. It teaches children that sometimes what they think a person is like isn't always true. That they need to take the time to get to know someone new. I like the moral lesson involved and the fact that the games are more educational than some other DVDs for this product. One game deals with counting, number recognition, patterns and shapes. So not only is my son learning to appreciate stories and comprehension but other educational skills are being reinforced as well. I would highly recommend this DVD if someone is interested in purchasing more in the series. This DVD is one that is both fun and educational.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Enough to Buy Again!, September 19, 2007

By	Ripliancum Academy (California) - See all my reviews

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This is my kiddos favorite of the RWM DVDs we have. They like it so much I'm ordering another one because wee-one cracked our first copy trying to get it out of the case (it's always hazardous for a parent to go to the restroom *wry grin*). I agree with the previous review that the games are a bit more educationally minded than some of the other discs. I appreciate having a decent alternative to simply parking the kiddos to be babysat by the tv during those moments you have to sort out without kiddos underfoot. They're still being parked, but at least it's with something they enjoy and isn't complete twaddle and fluff. (and I FAR prefer it to what I've seen of friends' V-Tech stuff--it's too similar to video games for my preferences).
