Be sure to check out our new, animated version available on : "Sing & Spell Vol. 1 Animated DVD"! This Classic version features original set of songs, written specifically to help children memorize the spellings of the first 25 high frequency words presented in the Houghton Mifflin Language Arts Series. With the words written out onscreen and fun movements choreographed to help with memorization, these fun songs help children easily memorize the spellings as they are able to learn the alphabet song and begin writing. The final song on the CD is a song that reminds children to put a period at the end of each sentence. Download the printable song lyrics and movements for fun and active learning. Words Covered Are: and, are, can, for, go, have, he, here, is, like, me, my, of, on, play, said, see, she, that, the, they, to, was, with, you and I'm Done. PLEASE NOTE: These songs are intentionally short to fit the attention span of the average 3-6 year old child! (Many songs are less than one minute long.) They are written to get straight to point, state it in a way that is simple enough for young children to remember, and then move on to the next lesson. That way, if your child's attention span is only five minutes, he or she should be able to learn the concepts presented in 6-8 songs in just one sitting. With repeated play, children should be able to learn ALL of the concepts in the songs quite quickly!

Great learning songs!
I ordered this as a replacement for one that was used so much that it was scratched. However, the new one would not play. I did not send it back to get a replacement as I got busy with school. Then it was too late. Would love to get another one.

Great songs, catchy tunes... a hit with young children
My 4 and 5 year old sing these words often. My 16 mo old is watching siblings and dvd carefully. I expect him to start spelling when he can identify the alphabet. (He's already moving his body mimicking the movements from classroom management dvd also by Heidi Butkus). Did I mention I'm a kg teacher? Also a hit with my ESL, which became ELL (English Language Learner) and now ENL (English as a New Language) kids... They need something to catch their attention; singing and dancing to these catchy tunes really help them remember the spelling. Great DVD. Wish I had the funds to buy all her dvds.

They loved moving and singing as they learned
I have used the DVD on first grade spelling phonics patterns for two years and my class would beg for them each day. They loved moving and singing as they learned. It provided variety and fun in our learning day. Now I am switching to kindergarten I can't wait to try some of Heidi's other DVDs.

Probably better for a class setting ...
I purchased this product based on the great reviews. My son loves music and dancing and sounded like it would be a great product for him! Unfortunately, it was not! I tried doing the dances with him but the boring lady doing basic silly movements did not keep his attention! Perhaps it is better for a class setting where 20 kids are doing it at the same time. Definitely not a good product for home use.

Ok
Accidentally bought this and the other version of the same lesson and the other is more engaging.

Classroom Engagment
I work with students with ADHD, Autism and communication disorders, and they love these songs. They are learning to read and spell, and it is helping them with letter identification as well. I have one student who has been non-verbal and he has started singing along. Truely a wonderful, fun, and engaging product. :)

Almost the perfect resource!
I'm seeing great results with these dvd's, but wish there were more options to make using them easier. I'd like to be able to adjust playback speed. I wish it would not play the introductory music in a constant loop on the main menu page (makes it hard to get it up and running in advance unless I have the sound off on my computer, but then I can't use my computer for anything else that requires sound. The other option is to launch the dvd right as I need to use it, which takes awhile.) I'd also like to be able to save a copy to my computer so I wouldn't need to insert the disc.I only took off one star for these issues, because, except for the speed of the playback, the convenience issues are not a reflection on how well these songs work to help kinders remember sight word spelling. They work awesomely - (I need to practice the songs slower without the dvd with my second language learners, but they are learning, too!)

The teacher next door used the Sing and Spell video with her kindergartners last school year. The kids loved it, plus it helped them with writing and reading, so I decided to purchase a video for my class. This product is great for brain breaks.
