Summary: 5 Stars
This is my second set... we wore out the first! Love it! And the seller was very prompt! Thanks!Movie Review: Truly (if surprisingly) effective!
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter (4yo) and her cousin (5yo) first "met" Mrs. Phipps and Snoothy when my mother bought a used copy of Learn to Read volume 1 at a yard sale. After seeing just a few minutes of it, my mother almost threw it away, thinking it seemed too boring and unsophisticated for a modern child. To her surprise, both my daughter (then 3) and her cousin (then 4) absolutely LOVED the video! Whenever they visited grandma they begged to watch the video, and often, when the video finished, they rewound it and started it again. And they would sing the alphabet song from the video over and over too (it's a catchy tune; unfortunately so, as I often find myself unable to get it out of my head).
My niece learned to read within just a few months, before her fifth birthday, due in part to Mrs. Phipps, and now, in kindergarten, she reads 3rd-grade-level "chapter books" (I'm not exaggerating). She reads to her cousin whenever they're together, which has sparked a strong desire to learn to read in my daughter. But my daughter seems to think she should be able to learn it in an afternoon, and if I sit down with her to teach her, even if I try to make it into a game, she gets bored within minutes. I didn't worry about it, knowing she already has the desire to read; there's still plenty of time for her to develop the patience and attention span to learn the mechanics of reading. I figured I'd look into Hooked on Phonics when she enters kindergarten next year.
A few weeks ago, my daughter found volume 4 in this series during our weekly visit to the local library. She wanted to bring it home: "It's like Grandma's movie! It's Mrs. Phipps!" So we've started borrowing the whole series. We brought home volumes 4 and then 3 and 5, while waiting for volume 2 to become available. I worried about her watching them out of order, but she especially loves the later videos where the children act out stories while Mrs. Phipps reads the words as they're highlighted on the screen. These later volumes are still beyond her full grasp but her growing ability to read an occasional word, even though she can't read them all, encourages her desire to learn.
Now four, my daughter can write the alphabet, upper and lower cases, and though she hasn't quite mastered reading, she can sound out simple words (non-blend/short vowel) and knows a few more by sight. I figure she'll be reading within a few months if not weeks (it's an exciting time to watch your child right on the cusp of literacy). The beauty is: I haven't pushed her at all, but she CHOOSES on her OWN to play the Learn to Read videos along with her Dora, Maisy, and other tapes.
I got online today to order the whole set of videos for my daughter so we don't have to rely on their being available at the library (when she outgrows them, we'll donate them to the library). Don't shortchange your child by letting an 80s-style hairdo or a cheesy character costume turn you off of these videos. They may not be suited for every child's learning style, but for some kids at least, they work!
Movie Review: Much better quality is out there
Summary: 2 Stars
Skip these and buy Sound it out Land or Leap Frog phonics videos instead. The Learn to Read with Phonics videos look like they were filmed with a camcorder and are simply a teacher writing on a dry erase board while explaining the rules of phonics. They throw in a character "Snoothy" in a lame nod to fun and entertainment. But all they thought of for Snoothy to do is make squeeks in the background while the teacher is giving the phonics lesson. Very cheesy,unimaginative and boring. My 4 year old lost interest in 5 minutes. Movie Review: Phonics videos

I work withthe Adult Basic Education program at my local Community college. We are in need of videos that help adults learn the phonetic approach to reading. All the available videos are child oriented. With the age of technology, why can't we have the same educational material produced for the adult with adult level animation,etc. I need something with larger print, also. We have learning disabled students returning to schoool and their needs are still the same as when they quit school. The media is not there for us to help and yet I feel something has to be out there and I don't know about it nor does my supervisor.
We are using workbooks but the printed page causes the same frustrations to the pupil as they had in school. I use my training in learning disabilities, but it, too, is limited with some students. I have a very open-minded supervisor and she will cooperate with any ideas suggested. Do you have any suggestions?
Sincerely, Marilyn Guthrie
