And now, what you've all been waiting for. . .
Leapfrog Videos!
These videos have been wonderful for Little John. He started watching them before he was two and quickly learned all his letter sounds, a song to help remember them, and words and pictures in his mind associated with them. They do a good job with the sounds, for instance "m" says "mmm," not "muh" (which can cause confusion in the reading process). We're working with another curriculum now that he's starting to read and have moved on to the next two videos that talk about building words. I would highly recommend these for anyone!

I love this one, too, and need to pull it out more. Ok, and I almost startled when I read, "Now that he's beginning to read . ." - WOW! He's on his mama's fast learning track! Way to go, Little John!
I like this one too!! Especially because they pronounce the sounds correctly. It always bothers me to hear "educational" tools make mistakes. Just the teacher in me I guess. ;o)
We used your advice and bought this video with a gift card Ava got for her birthday. I can't believe LJ is starting to read! Amazing. . .
