Meet the Sight Words collections of DVDs is a new approach in teaching children basic word recognition!
It's exactly what it sounds to be.. a method of teaching basic english words through sight. Sight words are the small words that are really the building blocks of our language that as adults we take for granted. Such as : I, of, it, he, you, in, to, a, is, the... ect. If you combine them with other small sight words you get small sentences such as "I play""you have" which may seem like broken english to you but it may just be your child's first written simple sentence.
Meet the Sight Words teaches these simple words in a way I have never seen before. Its totally animated and the words start off as animated characters and turn into the words. It's basically a way to get a child's attention then show them the word you really want them to see. It's quite frankly brilliant. Even Connor loves to stare at the words and though I don't expect him to be writing small sentences yet it may just be our first building block to doing so!
Meet the Sight Words collection comes in three DVDs which build on each other or can be used separately. They teach about 15 words each which means if you really dedicated a bit of your time each week to the DVDs your child could potentially learn 45 words before kindergarten even starts! Sign me up for the other DVDs please!
Meet the Sight Words is available on Amazon!

My son would benefit from this tremendously. He is 14 months old and loves to "read" it would be great to use this to help him recognize words.
I have also subscribe to your feed.
I just know this would be perfect for my son who is 3 1/2. He has a mind like a sponge. He already knows most of his letters and this will put him over the top.
My daughter would really love these DVD's if they are kinda like Word World.

my grandson ut would be great for him
I think my son would benefit from these the most. He's just now 3 and I think these would be great helpers for preschool and kindergarten. Thanks for the chance to win.
I actually have a 14 year old who would benefit from these DVDs. He had 5 strokes when he was 2-1/2 years old, and he has had speech problems since then. He doesn't "get" phonics, so maybe seeing something visually would help him out.
I also have an almost 21 month old who would benefit from these. He doesn't say much yet, so this would be a fun way for him to start learning to form words.
Thanks!
Angie
What a great idea! These would be fabulous for my daughter that is in pre-school. She is learning all of her letter sounds and can recognize them - so this would be a perfect next step! Thanks for the chance to win!

My son is 11 months and at the perfect stage for these DVDs.....he is already starting to be "chatty" and this will really give him a vocab boost. Thanks for this great giveaway.
Luv being a subscriber!
Thanks for the chance to have another entry.
I would love to get these for my 3 & 4 yo. I homeschool and anything I can teach them before they start kindergarten is great!
subscriber :)
Rylee will be turning 2 and this would be a great age to have fun and learn.
The reviews on this giveaway were awesome! It was an instant seller just reading those!
I have an 18 month old, and a 7 month old, they could both get alot out of these and get a huge jump on their education!
Thank you!
My 4 yr old could really use this for school readiness. Thank you!!
My daughter Ana would benefit from this because she is a beginner reader, and this would be a good review for her.

My 3 year old daughter is just learning to read, this would be great
My two year old grandaughter loves to learn new words. When we read a book she will point to everything and try to pronounce the words. She would love this!
this would be great for my grandson..he is in preschool and ready to learn...thanks for the great giveaway
My son would really like this, he likes these kind of movies.
My four year old would benefit from this, and my first grade students would DEFINITELY benefit! Thanks for sharing!!
I'm subscribing to your feed as well!
I have 4 kids 5 and under who would all watch this! Especially my 3 1/2 yr old who is wanting to read but having trouble with sounding out words, but I think she could memorize the sight word and that would really help! Thanks, sounds great!
My DD and the twins I babysit would benefit greatly from these DVDs. She is 4 and entering pre-K in the fall, the twins are going to be 9 and read very little, they are in special Ed classes.
My daughters would benefit the most. We homeschool and this would be great for their reading.
lily because she has recently become interested in becoming a reader.
My son is 21 months old, Emery, and has yet to do much talking. I think this would be one way to help him pay attention to words even if he won't be writing for a while!
My 7 month old granddaughter would enjoy watching these while she's over at Mimi's house. And I would love to start her on educational videos.
I've blogged about this contest at:

My princess (5) starts Kindergarten in less than 2 weeks. (And her little brother would probably learn a lot too!
My five and three yo girls would love this.
My niece would most benefit from this -- she is just starting first grade so this would be good for what she will be learning.
Just wanted to let you know I also blogged about your contest here:

My boys are 1 and almost 4; the preschooler is starting to sound out words, and this would be great to reinforce the skills he has! I can't wait for him to learn to read!

My son who will be entering kindergarten in a few weeks, would benefit from these videos.
My niece would most benefit this. She will be headed to school in a year and loves to read and tries to read every word she sees.
The two year old across the street would get a nice jump-start with this set.
Hi, My little nephew would benefit
from these sight word dvds a lot!
Thanks for the chance to win. Thanks,Cindi

My nephew's 2, he's at the perfect age to start learning!
These look like so much fun, my grandson would benfit from the dvds.
My 6 yo son is already reading, but I could love using these in a few months with my daughter. Thanks for the contest!
I would love for my four year old son to be able to use these.
My 3-year-old niece would LOVE this! She "reads" to her mommy all the time and she soaks up everything like a sponge. She's the perfect age to start learning sight words!
My one-year-old daughter would be watching these DVDs. I strongly believe in knowing how to read and write all the basic sight words. Kindergarten teachers would love if students came to them already knowing this!

My son is now almost 2½. My daughter is 6 months.
My son loves books, and already knows some of the alphabet. He makes me read to him all day long.
As a teacher, I know how important it is to be able to read sight words. It could be quite challenging for some children, and I'm sure this would make a big difference.
My children would definitely gain from this!
Oh this would be great for my two sons! I have a 6 year old son who had a 108 fever when he was 2 which caused him to be alittle delayed and a 3 year old son who is just learning these things! This would be great! Thank you so much for this chance!

And a subscriber :)
This would be great for my 4 y.o. who just started "dabbling" in reading. I think teaching him sight words will give him the encouragement he needs to get really excited about reading! :)
This is perfect for my girls to help enforce those words that they have been learning to read! I had never heard of this series. I am sure it would make learning fun!
These would benefit my toddler grandson.
He has the vocabulary of a 4 year old and he knows the alphabet.
He loves books and I think that these would propel him into the first steps of reading.
Thank you!

This would be wonderful for my granddaughter. She is 19 months old and loves to go around saying O! at every round shape. Unfortunately this includes her new potty chair much to the chagrin of her mommy. LOL
my son is three and is not speaking very clearly - he is currently being evaluated by the school district but this would give me something to work with him on!! What an awesome birthday gift for him - he turns 3 on the 15th
Hello, my oldest is just going to start K in Sept and he is not very interested in learning to read so far and I fear he will have a tough time so anything that can make things easier for him sounds GREAT! I think this would be a painless and fun way for him to get a little extra help.
I also just subscribed to your RSS feed, thanks for the extra chance!
These would be great for my son.

My daughter is starting kindergarten next month, and she just needs the littlest push to really be reading.
Jennifer, jennem22 at yahoo dot com
This would be great to use with my 2 year old daughter. MY 5 year old will be starting school this year and this would make her feel that she is going to her own "school".
cherierj(at)yahoo(dot)com
my son is turning 3 in a couple of weeks. he just started writing his letters and spells words and then asks what they say. this would be a great teaching aid, especially since my time is limited with him since i also have a 10 month old.

My daughter would definitely benefit from this series. She needs some help with her words. Great giveaway, thanks!

My five year old daughter is fighting the idea of reading. She really is smart but fights every attempt to read. Very frustrating
My 3 year old daughter would benefit from this. She is at the right age to begin this.
My 8 year old son who is autistic and very resistant to learning how to read would benefit greatly from this dvd set. He's a very visual learner and is also obsessed with collecting dvds so this is perfect!

I think that my God-son would benefit from this the most. He's not yet in Kindergarden yet he loves to "read!" He's obviously very interested in books and in language, and I feel that it's so important to nuture this curiosity. This product sounds like such a wonderful way to do just that!!! Plus, he just had TWO new sisters join his family as his mommy just had twin baby girls! He would be able to watch these DVD's with or without a parent so he would still be learning even if his mom and dad are busy with his sisters!!
Thanks!
