Fabulous
Buy the whole set and also the math video. Absolutely FABULOUS, FABULOUS FABULOUS!!!!!...and fun!!!! When I told my daughter's kindergarten teacher about them--she agreed--she used them with her own kids--what better endorsement do you need? My almost 6 year old daughter is starting to want to watch more "grown up" videos. Kids in her kindergarten class tell her that Dora, etc are for babies. Yet she absolutely loves this adorable Tad video (Tad is the main character in the story--it is set in a story format with songs, teaching, etc.). And she will watch it over and over again 3-4x in a row. And of course there is the excellent educational value. She now understands the "silent e" concept in reading/spelling (ie: "tame"); and she understands the concept of--"when 2 vowels are together the first one does the talking and the second one does the walking" (ie: the word "team").
I wish they would come out with more math videos. The math songs should go a little slower so that beginners can grasp the adding and subtracting concept a little easier. However, my daughter understood addition and subtraction since she was 4 years old thanks to the great JUMPSTART kindergarten and 1st grade CD's for the computer--another fabulous resource for your pre-schoolers (my daughter's kindergarten also uses these CD's in her computer class and I am so glad that she was already familiar with them at home). Jumpstart also goes up to 2nd or 3rd grade which I have not tried yet since my daughter is only in kindergarten. BUY them all NOW--you will not be disappointed.


Our Boys loved it!
We have a 4 year old and a six year old. It was a great introduction to our 4 year old and a fantastic review for our 6 year old. They want to watch it over and over.

The DVD includes a great game!
The PS2 is a great way to let you your child take advantage of the letter game on this dvd. You can play the game with the dvd remote, but my son kept messing up the settings on the dvd player.

Since the PS2 is very capable of playing dvds it seemed like a good idea to play the dvd in the PS2 and let him use the game controller.

The game is very good. It displays all of the letters and tells them a sound. Then they try and find the correct letter that goes with the sound they just heard. The most frustrating one for us is the "m" and "n" sounds, becuase they sound very much the same.

The game lets them try twice, and if they don't find the correct letter it plays the section of the movie that helps them remember which letter makes the sound they were hearing.

Overall, the game (AND THE MOVIE) are excellent, and I'm extremely happy!

I strongly think that this is my all time favorite leap frog product! It taught my son a lot about PHONICS in 2 days! Prior to this video we use to spend 2 days on trying to learn just one letter!

This movie makes learning phonics FUN for kids, and makes me one very happy parent!
