My 5 year old starts kindergarten this fall and is already reading and recognizing words thanks to Preschool Prep! We have used this series for colors, numbers, shapes and alphabet, which exceeded our expectations. We are now working with our 18 month old on colors and he is recognizing them!
Its outstanding and my kids LOVE learning!

Not produced in a fun or creative way. I was hoping that it would teach sight words in a story-like setting such as leapfrog does but it simply repeats the words over and over.

Great product!! My 2 year old already knew words from the (your baby can read) program from he was 1. I started him off from he was 3 months old. I recently added this after trying to find sight words programs on youtube but was unsuccessful. I love the concept and the unique characters. He learned them all in just about 2 days. Now he's able to read basic sentences by connecting words from 'your baby can read' and these sight words. I do believe the uniqueness of how the words are taught is what made him learn them so quickly. Definitely recommend!!!!

I CANNOT believe how amazing these videos are! My 3 and 4 year old both learned sight words VERY easily from these videos. They both repeatedly ask to watch "Sight Words" along with several others in the series. These greatly outdo Leapfrog, which were the videos we were using previously.

I am writing this because I happened across some negative reviews on here that took me by surprise. My son was 5 1/2 and was struggling to read both sight words and by sounding out. He had learned all his letters and sounds by 3 but just couldn't blend them together. I have been a teacher for several years and have even tutored many struggling readers. Nothing was working and my son, who loves books, and was really getting discouraged.I tried Meet the Sight Words 1 by renting it here on Amazon Instant Video thinking that if he liked it I would go ahead and buy it. Well, he picked up on the words so quickly that by the end of the rental he knew the words. He loved the video so we rented the other 2 as well. I got the flash cards and books. In a matter of a few weeks he went from having no sight word vocabulary to having almost 50 and was reading the books! He was so proud of himself and gained the confidence he needed to keep working on his reading skills. He is now 7 and although reading is still a struggle for him he is progressing and is almost to grade level. These videos were THE game changer. Now I'm getting ready to rent them all again for my daughter and we shall see how she does with them. She already is starting to sound out some words so these videos may or may not be helpful. My point is this. Children learn differently. For my son, this was just what he needed. If your child kindergartener or 1st grader is struggling with traditional instruction this may be just what he needs. For those reviews that are complaining that their 2 or 3 or even 4 year old didn't get it, maybe your expectations weren't met because your child is much too young. Developmentally it would be much more appropriate to be reading all sorts of picture books including ABC books and counting books, singing songs and doing nursery rhymes, engaging them in hands on crafts involving coloring, painting, gluing, cutting, etc. I have and willcontinue to recommend renting/purchasing these videos as well as the flash cards and books. Worth every penny!
