Customer Reviews for
Alphabet Exercise DVD
Mediocre but hard to find combo
I bought this DVD after falling in love with it's sister Rock n Learn Phonics I&II, despite the one review. I understand that they are trying to reach kinesthetic learners here, which is great since most toddlers and small children are kinesthetic learners to start out with, and very few have the patience or attention span to do seat work. All my kids (ages 8,7,4, 20 mo.)liked it and participated in the majority of it. The moves are not strenuous (it is perfect for my physically disabled 4yo), but its enough to keep your kid moving(for 44 minutes), which is a great thing these days with video games and the dangers of playing outside keeping most kids inside. The reviewer above me said that the exercise was too easy, given that it is for a small child audience I feel that its appropriate. I mean you wouldn't expect your 4 year old to follow Jane Fonda? The video goes through the alphabet 2 times and then a third time showing kids how to write each letter.
Pros:
*exercise and alphabet introduction in one
*reaches kinesthetic learners (most kids are till grade 3)
*easy, slow paced movements, not strenuous exercise, good for kids with disabilities (lots of arm movement)and kids without
*introduces letters with stretching and warm up, ends with a cool down
*shows other kids doing movements at different intervals
*Introduces capital and lowercase letters at he same time
Cons:
*guy can be annoying, but I can't stand Barney and this guy didn't bother me.
*not the most attention grabbing video
Alphabet Exercise DVD
Voice is so ANNOYING, not much of a "work out"
My son does like to watch this video (although not his favorite from this company), but I thought the exercise part of the video would actually be a little more strenuous and help on rainy and cold days that we have to stay indoors. The actor in the video is hardly in shape and puts little effort into the moves. The video itself is a good idea as far as exercising while learning letters, but the actors voice is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ANNOYING!!! I have a very high tolerance, and Barney doesn't even bother me one bit if that tells you anything, but I really can't stand listening to this video. This company does make several other alphabet videos and I should have chosen another one. I just thought an exercise video for kids was a great idea, although there isn't much real exercise involved. They could have made this an AWESOME video! We LOVE the Rock N Learn collection and have close to 7 or 8 videos. I stand by this company and will definately continue to buy their videos.Alphabet Exercise DVD
