This DVD is an animated teaching tool, not a cartoon show. I'll liken it to freshly squeezed juice for a child vs. KoolAid! I am extremely picky about what my children view on any screen, and Meet the Sight Words passed with flying colors (no pun intended).

When each word is first introduced, the word starts out in black and white, as it would be viewed in print. The word then transforms into colorful block letters, then to a character. The character then transforms back to the colorful block letters, then back to black and white. In the second scene, the black and white sight word becomes an animated character. For example, the word "my" turns into a little whale that swims around the screen and then transforms back into the sight word. This gives the child visual and auditory clues to connect the word and its meaning. In the third scene, all the sight words are used in a Storybook. This helps the child not only identify single sight words but also recognize them in full sentences!

Meet the Sight Words is a colorful, bright, fun DVD that uses a gentle, quiet style, which I love! Preschool Prep Company has won literally tons of awards with this series, which also includes Meet the Letters and Meet the Numbers. We would highly recommend them!
