| "My 10 year old daughter has Pervasive Developmental Delay (PDD-NOS--a form of Autism) and I was told she would probably never read. I stumbled on your Numbers video by accident--shortly after watching it just a few times Ellie became excited about numbers (she had no interest in them before that) and was identifying numbers 1 to 10 every where she went. Since the Numbers video had been such a success I ordered the Meet the Sight Words videos. Well, she loves these videos and has learned every Sight Word on all 3 videos. When the Sight Word books came out I ordered those and, you guessed it, she's reading them!!!! We hope you will make more of these videos and books as they have really worked miracles with a little girl who was never supposed to read!!! Please let us know what you've got coming next."

"The sight word DVD's are awesome. They were donated to my special education classroom by a very caring grandmother who thought they might help her 7 year old autistic grandson learn to recognize his words. She was absolutely correct. After only watching the Sight Word 1 video for a week, once a day, he already knows 9 sight words. Now he askes to watch them when he enters my room. I place the ones he knows on my door and he reads them off to me whenever he enters or exits the room. He is actually watching the video and then telling me which words to place on the door. THIS PROGRAM IS THE BEST!!! I just wish there were more sight word videos that covered words beyond the kindergarten level!"

"My son who is 3 and diagnosed with PDD-NOS loves the videos. He is a visual learner and learned numbers, shapes and colors is just a few viewings of the dvd. He now uses what he has learned freely when describing a toy or shapes he sees. I would suggest viewing the letters video in segments. My son will be getting Meet the sight words for Christmas. Love the products."

"Your DVD's are a God-send!! My mildly autistic son mastered his numbers, colors, and shapes when he was 2 1/2 years old. He mastered his letters just after turning 3. He is now working on his sight words. He started saying them during the first time of watching the Words 1 DVD. Your DVD's are such an encouragement to this mom who for those early months could only see what he could not do. Blessings to you and your company! Can't wait until the phonics DVD's are available! Please hurry!!! :)"

"When I first bought Meet the Sight Words set it was an after-thought. Oh what the heck, mine as well try it, kinda thing. After watching the first video twice in one day my kids were reading and pointing out 4 sight words in books. In one day! I have 6 year old adopted triplets with special needs. They have fetal alcohol syndrome, severe speech and learning disabilities, and dislexia. They are currently in special ed kindergarten. Before these videos they did not know 1 sight word despite months of working with other techniques. This DVD set is amazing! You know something works when you see imediate results. This set will work for all children. It should also be advertised as a product for special needs. Thank you so very much. I tell all of my friends with special needs children to check out all of your videos. I only wish I knew about the other videos years ago. It took 3 years for my boys to learn their ABC's with traditional methods."

"9 months ago my son Julian was diagnosed with PDD-NOS. I found an advertisement in the Parent magazine about Preschool Prep! different from any other I have seen or used. I got all the Preschool Prep videos, and in no time and with the help of all the daily therapies he gets, he learned them all in a very interactive way. I recommend these videos to all children, with disabilities or without. These videos target each topic specifically and separately that is what other video systems lack. Thank you for creating the right way to teach my child! Now he is ahead of the game!!!!"

"My son has PDD-NOS but he has learn to memorize and how to spell every word from all three ot the Meet the Sight Words DVDs, including how to spell the names of the 8 colors and 7 shapes. He also memorized/learned his numbers, colors and shapes. He loves these DVDs and watches them everyday. I was wondering are there going to be other Sight Words, colors and number (11-20)DVDs. These DVDs are exceptional for teaching a PDD-NOS child."

"Hi, my name is Andrea Hughes. Mom of 2 special needs kiddos. I currently purchased your sight word video in passing at the store for my developmentally delayed son. Let's just say..I am in awe of your product. I loved it as did my son!! We are currently on a mission to gather all the dvd's for him to watch. Just wanted to thank you and let you know what a great product."

"I just wanted to let you know that your videos are AWESOME. They started teaching my autistic son to read at just 3 years old. He is even writing the words out with absolutely no help and he just turned 4. As a homeschooling mom, I would recommend these videos to any parent of a special needs child! Will you please let me know if you make anymore Sight Word DVD's? I would be so grateful!"

"Our 6 yo son with learning/processing disabilities and autism was having trouble reading his sight words at an automatic pace (as expected in mainstream Kindergarten) without trying to sound them out every time. He viewed all 3 Meet the Sight Words DVDs and after a week or two can now rapid fire all 45, faster than his twin sister! He LOVES the DVDs so much he wanted all the books, flashcards....the whole set. It's become one of his favorite things to do. He chooses your DVDs over the most popular kids movies! PLEASE continue on in the Sight Word list with more words, Easy Readers, Sentence Builders, Spelling, Addition, Subtraction.... computer software would be great.... we've tried EVERYTHING and this is the only tool that has worked.... in very little time! You could help many children with this approach who struggle to learn through conventional modalities. You're on to something BIG here... don't stop at Preschool!!"

"I have an autistic son who will soon be 3, and I started getting these videos for him a few months ago. I first got Meet The letters, and Meet The Sight Words 1. He watched them bolth for 3 weeks, and had learned all the letters, was trying to sing the alphabet song, and had learned all the sight words. I was in shock! I immediately ordered the Meet The Numbers, and then what do ya know 3 weeks later, he knew all his numbers! So I told my Mom about this, and she was so thrilled, she went ahead and ordered him the other 4 videos that the company makes! Dassan not only knows his letters, numbers, colors and shapes, but his language has tripled! Life is more of a joy for him then it ever has been because he knows what things are now, and he understands things better! I will promote this videos till the end of time! I really hope there will be more videos in the future, I won't hesitate to buy them!"

"The DVDs have been amazingly successful for my son. He's 6 and in Kindergarten, going into 1st grade next year. He has mild autism and some other learning disabilities and is captivated by the DVDs. He now writes all the words, draws pictures of them in his work at school and LOVES to read the stories at the end. He asks to see them over any mainstream kids movie out there. Please tell me you are going to continue to go further into the sight word list past the first 45 words? .... easy reader books to match would be an amazing tool, phonics, a computer software program for using the words to write sentences, etc. We would purchase it all in a second and encourage the school system to do the same. We've already given them the DVDs as gifts for the classroom. The teaching methods used in this material are the only ones that have worked for our son and we have spent lots of money on all kinds of resources.
Thanks so much for this brilliant material! PLEASE keep it growing..." |

"How special to have a great resource for my autistic 5 year old! He loves the whole collection, thank you so much for giving us the confidence that our little boy is well on his way to learning and talking in full sentences. After all, knowledge is power!" |

"My six year old daughter has autism. She has been struggling with learning sight words. After watching Meet the sight words 1 for the first time; she has mastered three new words. I will be ordering the other two dvd's and hope more are to follow. " |

"Your dvd's are the best learning tools that we have seen. We used them with with our one year old son with Down Syndrome. By the age of two he knew his way through all of your videos... The way that the videos are set up worked very well with the way his brain processed information....repeat, repeat, repeat. We have used two or three different video series and we have found that PPC works the best for our child and the way that his brain is wired. Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do for the development of children of all abilities. " |

"I would highly recommend this product to children on the Autistic
Spectrum. My daughter is 5 yrs old and had very little speech. She started
watching ABC and Sightwords and she started to speak and read words that
were from the DVD. This product is excellent because these children love
repetitve things. She learned very fast and I will continue to buy this
product for her. When I read to her, she is able to identify the words that
have been taught to her through this product. She is ablel to read complete
sentences and actually speak in complete sentences. Thank you, Preschool
Prep for helping me help my daughter communicate with me and the world. We
have found the item that we both love to do and that is to read and learn
new things. I am know able to be be part of her world and I love it."

Watched your DVD's over and over again. I can not wait to get your two

"We just started Meet the Letters about 2 weeks ago. My son is VERY developmentally delayed. After 2 weeks of watching I showed him that I ordered "Meet the Numbers" and he pointed to the N, u, m, b, and s and labeled each letter spontaneously! This is a big deal because he speaks mainly sign language and still said each letter! Thank you. This is an amazing learning tool for people of all learning abilities." |
