Super Why: The Three Little Pigs & Jack and the Beanstalk (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My kid and I both love this show. He's almost 2, I'm 38. If that doesn't say enough I'll add that it is entertaining and educational, and we'd both sit and watch it all day if we could. However, at the time of this review, I'm seeing a price between 20 and 30 dollars for two episodes on one disc. I can't even believe my eyes. I would consider this for about half that price and it would be a "maybe." Again great show, can't say enough about it, I just wish it were a good deal as well.

Reading Rainbow Favorites (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Move over "Sesame Street," it's "Reading Rainbow!" This is a wonderful children's series, which encourages children to read. Each segment has children giving a brief description of the book they read.
Be prepared to go on to a journey of make-believe, and have fun while you're doing it by reading the suggested books these children recommend!
I grew up on this show in the 80's, and it's amongst the best educational shows. The theme song inspires children to reach beyond the sky's limits and explore the wonderful world of reading!
This series is perfect and entertaining for the child who enjoys reading, and even for the child, who doesn't like reading.
Highly recommended for children, parents and teachers, alike!
Buy it today, you'll be glad you did!

LeapFrog: Letter Factory (2003) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is one of the best learning DVD's I have seen. It will be a great watch for the Pre-k to first grade classrooms. The DVD teaches the letter names. Most importantly, it teaches the letter sounds in a creative way. Viewers see the letters, hear the letter names, they see a picture/video that represents the sound each letter makes, and the viewer hears a catchy tune to match the letter sound. For instance, the letter C is shown in a cold environment with ice hanging from it. The letter comes to life by shivering and stating that it is /c/ /c/ /c/.... old. Then the characters in the story sing the catchy Leapfrog song; "The C says/c/, the C says /c/, every letter makes a sound. The C says /c/. This DVD/VHS is marketed towards parents to use with their PreK to First grader, but all teachers need to know about this video and share it with their class. It would be a great review or introduction to letter sounds. Teachers could also use the catchy phrases and visual representation of the letter sounds in their lessons by creating activities or visuals based on the video. Students will see the sounds letters make, hear the sounds, and sing the sounds. This video combined with strong phonics based classroom instruction will help reach a variety of learning styles and lead your students on the path to becoming strong readers.

Sesame Street: Elmo and the Bookaneers (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I thought this would be a great DVD with pirates and singing, but it's a lot of on screen reading and my 3 year old gets bored. Tina Fey is entertaining, but kids don't see her as anyone different from the rest of the adults on the movie. The clay pirate short is cute, but for the first 15 minutes, the movie is mostly talking which doesn't capture my child's interest. The giant squid is a cartoon and is only on for a minute or so. I would think this would be better for 5 year olds.
