My son just loves everything to do with letters. Everywhere we go, he is calling out letters he can see! He has even started to spell words. Each week, I find he knows how to spell a new word! It is amazing since he is only 3 as of the end of June. I was contacted to review the 1st DVD from the Love To Read series called “Alphabets & English Words”. My son does love movies, so I of course said yes! We tend to visit family often, which an hour away, so he gets to watch his movies on the way down and back. I popped in this DVD and his eyes were glued until the end. Through out the movie new words are shown and my son would repeat them! The video teaches all the letters and a word to go along with each letter! The video is made using items all around the house. I found that to be pretty neat to look at! They make objects and words out of Coffee Cups, beads, rice, and so much more. I am hoping my son will learn some new words as well as how to saw W. He just says it in a really long funny way! (as he says double woo woo woo). This is a great DVD to use to teach your kiddos the Alphabet in a fun way! This DVD is for Ages 2+ and runs for 40 minutes. The price is $18.95 but right now you can get it for $14.95. You can head on over HERE to see a bit of the DVD!
How these movies came about
“As a mother of a young son and daughter, I am sure that you are just as concerned about your child’s development as I am. I started reading quality children’s books to my kids at a very young age, encouraging them to help tell the stories as we looked at the pictures. Although they do not watch TV yet, I sometimes also show them special DVDs or online content. When I searched for toddler-appropriate media, it was hard to find images that didn’t look cheesy, flat, or cluttered. On the other hand, the marketing for other Baby products raises expectations about learning that may be impossible to fulfill. In watching my own children grow, it became obvious to me that babies and toddlers learn in their own time. I believe that they are mainly interested in being loved and having fun. And this is exactly how they learn — in a fun, playful, and loving way.
Like most parents, I constantly look for new ways to creatively engage the imagination of my children. I eventually combined this personal interest with my professional work in animation at Viva Design, the company that I founded in 1998. Since I enjoy producing experimental animations and short films, I decided to create my own inventive, meaningful, and beautiful DVD series for children – Love to Read.”
