User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Speech Pathologist - FIVE STARS
As a speech pathologist, I would highly reccomend this video to any of my clients. To those that have said the phonemes are incorrect have obviously never worked with speech challenged toddlers. There are lots of videos out on the market that encourage children to memorize their ABC’s (which in the long run will not benefit their ability to read or spell). I encourage my students as well as my own child to address the sounds of letters first and label them later. I am very impressed that they include the different sounds the vowels (/oe/ and /o/)make and that they review (for those children that need it). To those reviewers who adressed the “uh” they heard attached to sounds - vowels for children under the age of five often need to be pronounced emphatically so they say them correctly (when learning the individual sounds). You can fix the attached “uh” later when spelling and blending words together. Also the vocabulary that follows the pronunciation of the letters encourages against using the “uh”. I have not found a video like this one that teaches the ABC sounds and letters.
5 Stars Great learning tool!
After reading a few negative reviews of this product, I had concerns about purchasing it. However, I couldn’t find any alternatives that I thought would help reinforce my 3-yr-old twins’ interest in letters so I took a chance. I am so glad I did!
The video introduces capital and lower case letters along with the sounds and somehow manages to capture my boys’ attention whenever I turn it on. It is interesting to both of them, despite their very different abilities (one has known the alphabet since he was 18 months and the other still doesn’t know all the letters).
My opinion is that the concerns of the reviewer(s) who complained about the pronunciations like, “d-uh” are overstated. It is a great tool for learning the alphabet and sounds!
5 Stars EXCELLENT EDUCATIONAL DVD
I am so thankful to these reviews. They help so much in determining if a product is right for us. After reading all the reviews, I decided to purchase this DVD for our 20 month old son. He had been watching The Letter Factory (which is great) and I wanted to offer him something new. At first, I was worried, as he wanted to watch The Letter Factory, but after sitting through the DVD with him ONCE, from then on, he has been very interested in watching the video. I like it because it’s not all hyper. It’s taught in a relaxed calm method. No regrets. I LOVE the way they repeat over and over the sounds of the letters. It’s an excellent video for learnig the alphabet and letter sounds. A++++ We bought ours directly from Brainy Baby. We didn’t want to wait. We received our order within a week.
5 Stars Great Learning tool
If your gonna let your kids watch TV atleast let it be educational. It’s a great video. I’m sure it reinforced my son in learning his ABC’s.
5 Stars Great ABC Video
My 2 1/2 y.o. loves this video and asks for it often. He now knows all his letters and I believe this video has really helped.
