Sesame Street - Learning About Letters [VHS]

Love

I had this on VHS as a child and now my toddler requests it daily. It’s just as special now as it was 30 years ago.

8 month old watches this everyday and jabbers along with it. It holds his attention well.

I grew up with Sesame Street in the 80's, watching is how I learned how to count and my alphabet. Having preschool aged children of my own now, one of which had been struggling and after exhausting other options and going to preschool hasn't helped much at all, I decided, what the heck, I'll buy this dvd and we can watch it while in the car, they're sitting still and will pay more attention. Within a week my son was able to recite his alphabet! I also purchased the Count with Ernie and he's counting to 20, before he struggle to get to 10! Love Sesame Street!!

This is a great DVD, and I sure remember learning my alphabet and letter sounds on Sesame Street! The reason I give it only 4 stars is some letters are rushed through, while others have skits to go with them. For example, "M" has both Kermit teaching children how to draw it with their "pointy finger" (love that!), and Cookie and Herry doing the "MMMM" song. But other letters just get mentioned with a couple of words they start with, and then it's on to the next letter. Of course, this is for the sake of time and attention span. I would rather see MORE skits... I think it's better to reinforce the sound and learning of the letter. But overall, a great DVD with some fun memories if you are an "old school" Sesame Street fan, like me!

My son loves Sesame Street, and this DVD is one of his favorites. Thanks to watching this video, he was already saying most of the alphabet and recognizing printed letters around the house before he was 18 months old. It has excellent educational value!

I bought this tape for my little boy when he was 16 months old.This is by far the best alphabet movie I have seen to date. It's not all annoying loud songs like so many of the movies are now. My son is allowed to watch one movie per day, and this is usually his first choice. Believe it or not, by 17/18 months he was saying the entire alphabet. His pediatrician was shocked at his 18 month visit! There are lots of neat songs and video clips from Sesame Street episodes from the early 70's I remember myself on this tape!

We love Sesame Street. Children's programming these days is so quickly edited and action-packed I'm sure it leads children to have short attention spans. Not these, and our 4yo daughter loved it. The DVD starts with the alphabet song, then there's a skit or cartoon for every letter up to and including P. But I was shocked when it stopped there. There were no skits for QRSTUVWXY or Z. If not for the alphabet song if children didn't know better this DVD might lead them to believe the alphabet doesn't include its last 10 letters. I was very disappointed and surprised a Sesame Street DVD would do that. It would have been 5 stars otherwise.
