I brought this video at the point when my son knew what a letter was, but could not distinguish one letter from another. He loves the video and he will repeat the information as he goes through the video. We have owned it for about a month and he knows about half of his letters. The video starts off by singing the alphabet and the letters are shown through a puzzle. Then the alphabet is said and show just as letters on the screen. Next they go through the alphabet. “Big A. Little A. A has two sounds. A a a Apple, a a a ape, a a a acorn.”, etc. They go through about 5 letters, and then they repeat the letters through a test. “Do you know what sound the letter A makes?” “I know a a a ape and a a a acorn.” Finally, they sing a song about the alphabet and different objects to help remember the letter sounds.
This is not a flashy scene video like baby einstein. For the most part it uses real objects, but does put in some computer graphics that look like real objects. It is not fast paced and it is repetative. It is designed to learn the ABCs and does it very well.
If your child is ready to learn the ABC’s it is very beneficial. If your child is younger and enjoys looking at children and babies at play or real objects they may enjoy the video. Older children who already know their ABCs and the sounds will probably be bored with the video.
This review was very difficult for me to write as I have mixed feelings toward the video. As a first grade teacher, I am very critical of anything that requires the very particular and accurate use of phonemic awareness. Unfortunately, as the mom in the last review pointed out, this video has many inconsistencies when the narrator and little girl say their letter sounds. First of all, when saying letter sounds, one NEVER wants to add the sound -uh after any letter!! For example, when saying the sound for “T” we don’t say “TUH”, we simply whisper it by dropping our tougue from the roof to the bottom of our mouth. Or, we say “W” not by saying “WUH” but by forming the W with our lips, then holding the W sound like wwwwww. Though most of the sounds in this video are correct, they occasionally slip into the “-uh” trap! How on earth are our children supposed to read if they add -uh to every consonant….tell me….for instance, what the heck is puh-a-tuh! (translation without the -uh and you get the word “pat”!)

Now, looking beyond the inconsistencies in pronounciation, I have to say that my 2 year old son LOVES the video!!! I am completely in awe and amazed that within one time of watching it, he repeats EVERY letter as it drops onto the screen. Though I find it terribly repetitive and boring, he is COMPLETELY engrossed!! And you know, HE IS the one who is supposed to love the video (not me!) so I suppose Brainy Baby has hit the mark on that aspect! He sits through the seven minute introduction and is totally aware as each written letter comes on. He enjoys the kids and babies on the screen and it doesn’t seem to bother him that there is no real “action” or fun puppets like they have in the Baby Einstein videos. So, as a mother, I am overjoyed that he is enjoying the video, learning his letters AND gaining a nice vocabulary. He is slightly speech delayed, so anything that will help to improve his language awareness is a blessing.
So how do I rate this?? As a teacher, probably no more than a 3. As a mother, I’d have to give this a 5 since my own child is rapidly developing his language awareness just by watching a simple DVD! I haven’t watched any other letters video, so if anyone has any suggestions, I’d love to hear them!
