Your Guide to Toys, August 18, 2005
Not only did preschoolers pick up knowledge about the letters, they kept demanding that I play it again and again!

Product Description
Learning letters has never been this easy! Children will fall in love with these wonderful characters as they “Meet the Letters.” Meet the Letters is a powerful tool designed to teach babies and toddlers the alphabet during an opportune window of time when they are learning to talk. A recent study of over 50 babies and toddlers, who watched Meet the Letters daily, resulted in over 90% of these children having complete upper and lowercase letter recognition by or before the end of the two-month study. Many learned their letters in less than two weeks! Most impressively, nearly 70% of children under 24 months of age mastered the alphabet.
You will be amazed at how easily your little ones can learn their letters!

5.0 out of 5 stars My son learned Letters, Numbers and Shapes in 3 weeks!, June 4, 2006

By	Kristi Webber (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

A woman in my mom's group told me that her 18 month daughter learned all of her letters by watching Meet the Letters for 2 weeks. I decided to give it a try with my 20 month old son. I bought all three Preschool Prep Series DVDs; Meet the Letters, Meet the Numbers and Meet the Shapes. Not only did my son love them but in less than 3 weeks he had mastered upper- and lower-case letters, numbers 1-10 and 8 shapes. He learned more from 3 weeks watching these DVDs than many kids learn in 3 years of preschool. I tell everyone about these amazing videos. He also loves the Lift the Flap books in the car and has become obsessed with naming letters everywhere we go. I couldn't be more pleased with this series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great learning tool for my 2 yr old, September 22, 2006

By	Boogeyman (USA) - See all my reviews

We love Meet The Letters. The presentaion is crisp and clear.

My daughter watched Sesame Street's "Jungle Alphabet" for about 3 weeks, in which she learned the letters "m" and "u". While she loved watching it, I thought she needed a better learning tool.

I was afraid she wouldn't like Meet The Letters, because it doesn't look as entertaining as "Alphabet Jungle" (shows how much me, an adult, knows).
I'm happy to reporrt she loves this DVD, and like most others, learned the alphabet in about 2 weeks!

When watching "Alphabet Jungle", she would just sit and watch. As mentioned before, she'd only call out letters "m" and "u".

But, after watching "Meet The Letters", she would repeat the narrator. Before long, she'd call out the letters before it is called (you could tell the creators did a study, because there's a long, pregnated pause after the letter pops up on the screen, allowing the kids to call it first. Or she simply watched "Jojo's Circus" and "Dora The Explorer").

And, like the reviewer before me, now she's mad about calling all the letters she sees! It tickled me when we went to the park and she'd read the letters on the blocks. She'd read signs while we're traveling, etc (the other night she went "T...J...M...A...X...X..").

I have one very major gripe with this DVD, though. It's the really high pitched voices of some of the letter "characters". In those cases they sound pretty bad, eg" the letter "n". In those cases, I only let my daughter listens to the adult narrator.

This brings me to the "ABC" song at the end. Boy, it sounds horribly unnatural. Everybody knows the cadence of the song. Well, it doesn't sound like it here. eg: The letter "Z" sounds like he's going to continue talking (his intonation goes up, like there's another letter coming up). They should've just used the kids natural voices and recorded the song fresh, instead of picking the voices from the program.

In all, this is a very good DVD that I highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learning has never been so easy!!, November 16, 2005

By	aliR "aliR" (Danville, CA USA) - See all my reviews

My 3 year old son had no interest in learning his letters, all he wanted to do was play with trucks. We tried books, puzzles and every DVD on the market claiming to teach the alphabet. Then, I introduced him to this Meet the Letters. He was immediatley drawn to it and in less than two weeks, he learned all his letters, upper and lowercase! He also enjoys the Meet the Letters board books to follow along with the DVD. Even my 4 month old baby enjoys watching this video!
