 My son learned Letters, Numbers and Shapes in 3 weeks!Jun 04, 2006
By Kristi Webber
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.

 Great learning tool for my 2 yr oldSep 22, 2006
By Boogeyman
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.

Learning has never been so easy!!Nov 17, 2005

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!

Meet the Letters is unbelievably educational!Dec 04, 2005
By Kate Sanders
I have 18 month twins. I read a review about Meet the Letters where the reviewer had shown the video to a preschool class for a couple of weeks and said that she said that the kids loved it and wanted to watch the video over and over. She said that the kids in the class had amazing success learning letters. I thought I would put it to the test with my twins. In two weeks they both knew all of their letters (both upper and lowercase). I have since bought them Meet the Numbers and Meet the Shapes and have had the same kind of success. It is as if my twins achieved in about a month what most kids take 2 or three years of preschool to learn. I think these videos should be required curriculum for all preschools!

We love Meet the LettersSep 24, 2005
By Kelly Mortara
Finally an alphabet video that teaches the alphabet instead of all the things that begin with a certain letter. A is not and apple, it is an A. My 4 year old daughter and 2 year old son are really into "Meet the Letters". My daughter knew most of the uppercase letters before she saw the video and now she knows them all plus the lower case. My son learned them all almost as quickly as she did. They are mesmerized watching the letters morph into characters and they try to imitate what the characters do. They both have their favorite letter characters and I have to admit, so do I. This video is colorful and fun and they have actually learned from it. So many video's claim to be educational but do not teach a thing. My kids have learned more from this video than from all the other videos put together. They just started watching the other video from the Preschool Prep Series (Meet the Numbers). They learned their numbers from zero to ten after watching the video a couple of times. I LOVE THESE VIDEOS !!!!!
