What Parents Need to Know
About Meet the Sight Words 1
Parents need to know that this DVD is aimed at children as young as 15 months, but both Common Sense Media and the American Academy of Pediatrics suggest no screen time at all until age 2. This instructional DVD is designed to augment pre-k and kindergarten reading lessons, not to stand alone as entertainment. The repetition may torture parents, but there's no denying the elegant simplicity of the approach.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the short lessons after watching them together. They can also try other ways of reinforcing recognition of the sight words in ways that hit all the senses: spotting them in a newspaper headline or billboard, tracing them in a sandbox, writing them in chalk on the sidewalk, and bouncing a ball onto a sight word that Mom or Dad calls out.
