Readeez Volume Two

Educational DVD at it's finest for emerging readers!
Our girl has been reading from age 2 and is fully reading BOB books series with ease, yet I was having trouble with her converting to solo-reading into the next genre of early readers. eg. Clifford the Big Red Dog series, Mercer Mayer's Little Critter books, Dr. Seuss books, Amelia Bedelia books. We have also been using about 5 LeapFrog DVDs for the past 2 years. In my search for something to help in the educational DVD department, I was not happy with what I found. Rock N Learn has poke-my-eyes out graphics and the Preschool Prep DVDs are similarly low budget and mind-numbing for a kid who knows quality graphics and audio.

My 5.5 yr old son likes to "know" the words to rhymes, songs, dvds, and the short vignettes in Readeez are just up his alley. They are almost like dvd comic strips, in that they are short, snappy and simple. Even before watching the dvd through the first time, he was picking up on repetitions in the text, on obvious rhymes, and chanting out loud with the characters. By the time we'd watched a couple times, he was shouting out lyrics with confidence when they appeared on the screen.

The fun little rhymes and ditties both help give musical rhythm and help with phonics, the strong center presence of the printed words (ie pan, man, well/swell) along with the voiced pronunciations helping...

"Simply Sensational"
Readeez is "simply sensational"! If I could have given it more than 5 stars, I would have. Rapid shipping with no extra boxes and air filled bags. Just eez-e, and simple. My children love it! I love it!! Thank you!
