I recently found a great interactive DVD series that teaches little children to read. You can find more information here:

http://forum.brillkids.com/downloads/?sa=view;id=6748Bridge to English - Read Before You Can Walkis a series of interactive DVD disks to help children aged 0 to 5 years old to learn to speak and read English as their first or second language. The series comprises 5 disks which are all available now.
What makes “Bridge to English Read Before You Can Walk”, a series of video-books, unique are the following factors:
1. We have used new Interactive DVD technology. A child can watch these disks on any DVD player, from the most simple model to one as complicated as a computer.
2. The products in this series will help children begin reading English words, then phrases and then sentences without too much effort from their parents.
Each video-book in the Bridge to English Read Before You Can Walk range has 3 levels of difficulty and includes 5 cartoons, each of which presents in a special way up to 10 new words, phrases to read and up to 5 full sentences. It comprises one DVD disk to play on your TV via your DVD player. This disk is for children aged 8 months to 5 years and contains not only cartoons with presentation of words or phrases but also a number of interactive learning exercises, suitable for different levels within the above range.
At the age of 8 months to 1 year we recommend that the child just watches the cartoons and the presentation of single words without the exercises.
Exercise 1 – “Find the Picture”. In this exercise you must find the picture which matches the written word or phrase or sentence.
Exercise 2 – “Find the Word or Phrase or Sentence”. In this exercise you must find the written word or phrase or sentence, which matches the picture and the sound.
Exercise 3 – “Form the Word or Phrase or Sentence”. In this exercise you must form the word or phrase or sentence from the given letters or words. If you repeat this exercise you will be given a different word or phrase or sentence to form.
Exercise 4 - “Read the Word or Phrase or Sentence”. - In this exercise you must read the written word or phrase or sentence. Parents should check the reading and press the “Right” or “Wrong” buttons accordingly.
At first parents should help their children operate the DVD remote but soon the children will be able to operate the various buttons on the DVD handset themselves. Small children cannot sit in front of a computer but they feel comfortable in front of the TV. The learning method employed in Bridge to English Read Before You Can Walk video-books is simple and effective, using a variety of cartoons and multiple repetitions of the same words, phrases or sentences in a fun context and a game format.
