Product Description
Learning sight words has never been this easy!
Many words don t follow basic decoding rules and are taught in pre-k and kindergarten classrooms as 'sight words', 'instant words', 'high frequency words' or 'star words'. A new reader finds sight words very frustrating until they are memorized. A good reader will be able to instantly recognize sight words without having to 'figure them out'. Preschool Prep Company makes learning sight words fun and easy. With 16 sight words the viewer will continue to build from the foundation created by Meet the Sight Words 1. The combination of the Meet the Sight Words 1 & 2 teach the top 20 Fry words, the top 20 Dolch words and the Houghton Mifflin kindergarten list. Preschool Prep Series DVDs have won over 25 national awards and are used in thousands of schools. You will be amazed at how easily your little one can learn sight words!

2. Dolch Words prepared in 1936 by E.W. Dolch

My son loves these videos! November 18, 2009
Busy Mom of 2 (Wisconsin)
My 3 1/2 year old son LOVES these videos and is learning the sight words very quickly. To my eyes, they seem boring - to his, very engaging. He chooses these over many other videos frequently. I would highly recommend!
great product for pre-readers September 6, 2009
Jessica M. Scull (Media, PA)
I bought this dvd, along with 1 and 3, for my pre-schooler. I thought it was boring but she loved it! she has learned all the sight words and it has really helped her learn. I taught first grade for years and would recommedn it for anyone from age 3 to 6. Talk about truly educational tv!
Great resource September 5, 2009
D. Stevenson (Anchorage, AK)
My 5 year old was having trouble learning sight words. I bought him the 3 DVD's like this in a set. He watched all of them over and over for two weeks. At the end of two weeks he knew 90% of the words. It was amazingly fast learning.
Kids love it and learned the words effortlessly August 9, 2009
Kallenford (East Patchogue, NY USA)
We bought this for our 4-year-old daughter, and she loves it. We also have the other DVDs in the "Meet the Sight Words" series. My daughter can now read about 20 common words without any drilling, flash cards, etc. Definitely worth the money. I found the animation high quality and cute, so the kids like it but it is not irritating to parents.
Rated AWESOME by /Former 1st Grade Teacher/Reading Specialist May 14, 2009
Jakie (PA)
This movie is awesome! Buy it! You will make learning sight words fun, quick, and easy when doing so is rarely the case. It calls children's attention to the letters and "shape" of the word through anamation so that they remember what the word looks like in order to memorize it. It's an ideal memorization tool. (Sight words cannot be sounded out.) And, the list includes both the Dolch (older list) and Fry (more updated) high-frequency words. I am a former first grade teacher and I have my masters as a Reading Specialist. (I currently stay home with my children.) After watching the movie 2-3 times, my 4 year old could read every word instantly. While you teach sight words, continue to practice phonics and sounding out simple 2-3 letter words with short vowel sounds so your child learns decoding skills, too.
