Our success with preschool prep series!

[zoe22]

I absolutely love meet the sight words. Last year, I was worried as my daughter would call EVERY colour blue! Someone recommended meet the colours which I think were too boring for her and she wouldn't sit to watch. We eventually learnt colours with signing time!

Anyway, I recently ordered meet the sight words and it came yesterday and she watched it last night and this morning and I tried showing her the flash cards, even though she won't say the words, but she would pick it out of about 4 different cards. i.e I would place 4 or 5 cards and ask "where is said" and 9 out of ten times, she'd pick the right word. And that's after less than 24 hours of watching. I would say in total she's watched it 3 times!

I'm really glad I got it as we didn't have much success with the 1st ones, maybe apart from meet the numbers. So it's amazing seeing her showing interest in meet the sight words and learning so quickly.

I would also like to share out experience with hooked on phonics. Just by watching the alphabet videos, she learnt all her alphabets in less than 2 weeks. And she knows a lot of the sounds too.

She is 25 months now. And I guess a lot of other 25 months are doing much more but for her, she just didn't really take to much of reading or early learning until very recently she's just blossoming. I guess she's just bringing out all the things she learnt the 1st 2 years!

That's great!!!!!!! You must be very proud 
Good thing is you didn't give up even when she wasn't into reading .....ect.
I am sure your story will be inspiring for many of us.

That's great. I was half tempted to get the Preschool Prep for sight words. I'll have to revisit that and see.

Its amazing when that light bulb finally turns on and you begin to see the fruits of your labor. Its also great to find the things that work so well for your child too. It's like finding gold

Wonderful news! I am so glad it worked for you. I absolutely adore preschool prep and will forever sing their praises from the rooftops!

Stick with it, she'll know all 45 or so in the series in no time.

How early can u start preschool prep series??

[TeachingMyToddlers]

Preschool Prep recommends 9 months but lots of people start the YBCR between 3-6 months. I don't really see the difference or harm in starting early, just monitor the total screen time and balance it with other one-on-one hands on activities. Oh, and this is "left brain" learning, not right brain flashing just so you know. I have a handful of friends who have used this with success as well as my own children. And Meet the Phonics should be coming out this month, I can't wait!

I agree with teachingmytoddler, it's not flash cards and stuff. There's lots of repitition but it's quite interesting for the kids to watch- at least the meet the sight words!

My daughter really likes watching them and she knows nearly all the words on DVD 1 and we just started on Friday! I slept out the word 'of' with her magnetic letters today and asked what I spelt and she told me. So far I only know she knows the words when I ask her to point to word. Jarred some variation today, I spelt out words eg 'play' and ask her'is this that?' and she would say 'no!' I'd go on missing it on purpose and when I say the correct thing she claps for me and says'good girl mummy!' it was a cute game and she enjoyed it and it took away the pressure of testing!

All in all, I think it's a fantastic resource to have for your kids. I look forward to when she can read her 1st preschool prep book!
