Rock n Learn: Alphabet Circus

My children loved this. I think it helped them recognize letters easier. If you're picky about having elegant movies, don't watch it with them because it definitely isn't sophisticated. However, I think it'll appeal to many children.

I was very excited when ordering this video for my three year old daughter, and upon receiving the video I must say that it does not dissapoint. My son was hooked on one of Rock n Learn's phonic videos years back, and I really wanted to get something that would interest my daughter. I have tried flash cards with her in order to help her learn her letters and their sounds, but they do not hold her interest. I received this video in the mail the day before yesterday, and I put it on for her in our car. She was hooked! For the past couple of days now when we go to get in the car, she is asking if she is going to be able to watch the video! So pleased with this product. I am considering ordering the Spanish video for my son. :)

This video is very high in the cheezyness factor and all the rhyming has the word "you see" and "me" in them. Very annoying. My little boy likes to watch this to make fun of it :-)

First of all, even for a child this program is boring. Second, and most important, the "F" in the video stands for FIRE EATER! It actually shows someone igniting a fire and blowing alcohol (I would assume) on it to make a large fireball.Now, in their defense they tell the child not to do this at home, but that's the same as making "G" mean gun and shooting someone and then saying 'don't do this at home'.Ridiculous.Stay away from this DVD!

OMG, this was the only video allowed to play for several weeks at our house! My daughter is delayed in speech. A friend of mine recommended the Alpha Al series, since it helped her speech delayed son. My daughter (who is 32 months old now) learned so many of her first words from this dvd it was wonderful! The only down side is that the graphics are very dated, but that doesn't matter to my daughter :-).

Not as annoying or low budget as some reviews stated, but not as engaging or catchy as other reviewers claimed. My 5 year old watched it willingly and didn't want me to turn it off, but he never seemed very entertained while watching it and never wanted to watch it a second time.

The negatives: This video has terrible graphics, is really cheesy and as an adult you will think it's horrible.The positives: My 2 year old son LOVES this video. Before watching it, I tried to teach him the alphabet, but he just wasn't interested. After watching this almost daily for 2 weeks (told you, he LOVES it) he started recognizing letters and pretty much knew most of them. At that point I was able to start working with him because he understood the concept. He is now 2 1/2 and knows all the letters of the alphabet, most of them in order.The way the video is set up is they will show a large letter and a lower case letter at the top of the screen, talk about it a little, say some words that start with that letter and then have a song about the letter. At the end they go over all the letters in order. You will probably find yourself singing the songs from this video. They're not good, but somehow catchy...My son is 2 and he benefited quite a bit, however my friend saw my success with Alphabet Al and got it for her 2 year old girl... she hates it. However, her 4 year old will watch it a little and learned some from it.Summary: Like 1 reviewers said, see if you can preview before you buy because each kid is different. I would personally highly recommend this video.

I work with preschoolers. I ordered this video after the kids got attached to the Rock N Learn Alphabet Exercise video. The kids LOVE it!!! They ask to watch this every day!!!! This video helps them learn their alphabet and teaches them words that begin with each letter. It is done so well that the kids don't even realize they are learning from it! I highly recommend this video!
