Brainy Baby - ABC's

Rating:
Summary: Great for special needs children
Review: I'm a big fan of the Brainy Baby DVD series after purchasing both Left and Right Brain for my 21 month old son. He loved both of those and thought we should move to the ABC DVD. He already knew the entire alphabet at 18 months. This video has a lengthy song in the middle that seems to be just filler to hit the 45 minute mark. For the most part, my son loves the letter parts, but loses interest in the songs. Certainly not a regretable purchase but this DVD does lack some creative elements that were in Left and Right Brain.

Review: If you don't already own left brain and right brain, I would recommend getting those first. Though, this one is meant for older children, but it is not quite as entertaining it seems. My child doesn't seem to respond to this one as much as the left and right brain DVDs. If you already own left and right brain, it is still a worthwhile purchase.

Review: My daughter is now 15 months old and knows most of her alphabet! I started showing her the video when she was 10 months. I was worried that she's just viewing it passively, but by 12 months she's able to say the letters "H, I , O". For some of the letters she could even say the sounds!!! She could point to letters and say them whether they're on a cereal box or on your sweatshirt.
She surprised me one time by saying the sound of "L", which is pretty hard to do since they have to learn to roll their tongue.

I supplement her learning by reading to her and pointing out letters whereever they are. She thinks it's a game and have fun saying her letters. She also liked playing with her Leapfrog ABC's Magnet and also the Leapfrog Phonics bus.

Review: My daughter watches both Baby Einstien and Baby Brainy videos. The Baby Brainy are more educational, but the Baby Einstien tend to hold her attention more--the exception to this latter rule is the Baby Brainy ABC and English videos. She is just as--if not more--fascinated with these two Baby Brainy videos as she is with Baby Einstien, and they have the added advantage of being very heavy on instruction. She started watching this at 14 months, and I was surprised at how mesmerized she was by the ABC's. The video teaches through song, pictures, live action objects and--perhaps most importantly--repetition. It goes through the letters, the sounds they make, and representative words beginning with the letter (so it is also good for building vocabulary).

Summary: EXCELLENT !!!
Review: This is a wonderful video. It REALLY teaches your child the alphabet! All the Brainy Baby videos do a far better job in teaching. ... The Brainy Baby series is most certainly worth the investment. ...If your child watches Brainy Baby, they actually LEARN their ABC's, 123's, Colors, etc. as well as being entertained with BEAUTIFUL images! (Not to mention that Brainy Baby is 50% longer than Einstein for the same price). Brainy Baby has not only taught our 17 month old daughter the ENTIRE alphabet, but it has been a lifesaver for my sanity too! I can't imagine any home without Brainy Baby.

Summary: Great!
Review: This video has been a great influence on my 2 year old. I can't believe she not only can recite the alphabet, but knows each letter by sight, and I have this video to largely thank. Great job on making it educational along with entertaining. I find so many other videos out there focus only on the entertainment side.

Review: This video is bright, engaging and upbeat. It drew my daughter in because the children are happily doing things that all children love to do, play in water, play on the playground, etc. The review of numbers 1-10 is quick and then we pause for a jumping around, danceable song and then its on to numbers 11-20. Never boring and I have found it is interesting to even older children!

Review: TRULY AMAZING!! Got this for my son's second birthday. Didn't know if he would go for it because there's no caterpillar at the beginning (he's a loyal Baby Einstein fan), but it has become his favorite video. Honestly, within one week he learned all his letters, uppercase and lower. He now sings the ABC song as cute and as well as a two year old can. This combined with Leap Frog's refrigerator magnets have really helped him with his letters. I highly, highly recommend this video. Our six month old enjoys it, too. We're waiting for her to start singing her ABC's too!
