Rock n Learn: Alphabet Circus

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!

Excellent educational DVD!!! My 3 - 5 preschoolers love Alphabet Al and the circus that features the letters of the alphabet and the descriptions of the circus entertainers as well as the words. Children follow along and learn and are entertained at the same time. The DVD keeps many preschoolers' attention throughout the entire circus alphabet.

Bought for my children to help them with education. They really enjoyed it

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 :-)

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.

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!

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.
