Scholastic videos are great!

My children, ages 2 and 4, are both big fans of the scholastic videos. We started off with Where the Wild Things Are and Mike Mulligan and based on their enthusiasm for those we purchased this bundle. We have not yet watched all of them as there are several to get through, but so far each has delivered the same great entertainment. Reading a book first and then seeing the movie or the other way around has added a whole new excitement to reading these classics with my children. I would highly recommend this set and any of the other scholastic videos to anyone trying to encourage little ones in their love of books!

Both my two year old and I really enjoy this video.  It focuses on Big Bird as he adds and subtracts cookies, bananas and crayons with the help of Maria.  It also includes skits with Cookie Monster and Ernie and Bert, as well as an appearence at the end by Elmo.

Although our little one is still a ways away from learning about addition and subtraction, he gets a lot out of this because of the numbers and counting -- and of course his favorite characters!

I hope they make this into a DVD, but for now, it is such a good video, that it is worth getting a used video tape copy.

I bought this video for my nine year old son who has all the ones in this series. I purchase them with confidence that he will find the entertaining each time he watches them.

We have had three children learn their letters from this program over the past 6 years and we all really like it. It is a fun video that does a great job of instructing.

I purchased this to use in my 1st grade classroom.  What a great buy this was!  It has videos of the most popular children's books of all time!  My students love to watch these videos.  I like to show these after lunch and its a great way to get my class to settle down before we continue with our work for the day.  I like to show these after reading the book to my class and then we do a compare and contrast activity.  I am very pleased with this product and if you are a teacher in the primary grades or a parent with a young child, then you'll love it too!

My 6 year old son has had the Letter Factory DVD (also by Leap Frog) for many years and I felt he learned so much from it that I decided to order him this set.  He enjoys watching these and enjoys the interactive activities.  It is so hard to find good educational videos that kids actually enjoy watching.  Thank you Leap Frog for these wonderful dvds!

Everyone in my immediate family is an educator. Several of them teach at the elementary level. The scholastic super science stem instant activity series is simply amazing.

It comes in a shelf-sized, ready box contains 30 separate activities divided into 15 learning areas. Each topic is enclosed in its own trifold envelope. Included in the envelope are five task cards that allow you to divide your students into teams. The task cards ask a question, make a statement, and then delve into the activity at hand. Materials required are stated simply in a box on the upper right. Cards are two-sided, need side has a separate activity. The folder has an interesting story or anecdote about the topic on the left, inside fold, and the last two pages are fill in the blank forms so that the teacher can run off copies to be used by the students.

The topics are interesting to students and the Next Generation Science Standards objectives are clearly identified and numbered to make for easy test prep and keeping track of compliance.  The folders and activities are very colorful and lavishly illustrated.

Scholastic gets an A+ for this product!

This video was a blessing for my pre-schooler.  He was having trouble identifying his letters and his teachers recommended he repeat per-school.  We asked if we could work with him for a couple weeks and one of the things we did was buy this video.  Two weeks later he could identify all 26 letters along with all 26 letter sounds!  His younger sister loved the video also.  They didn't see it as learning, they just thought it was fun.  Two years later my son led his first grade class in Accelerated Reader points.  I highly recommend this video to anyone who has young children who are learning to identify letters or trying to learn letter sounds.

I bought the video for a friend's daughter.  She's in the first grade and was having trouble recognizing some letters and letter sounds.  I decided to buy her this video as well as the Phonics Farm to help her with her sounds.  Now she knows all her letters and has learned most of her letter sounds.  She has even started reading simple sound vocabulary words.  As always Leap Frog does not disappoint.

As a second-grade teacher, I find the entire line of Scholastic Story Time read-along books to be an excellent and entertaining use of media to encourage literacy skills and familiarity with high frequency words!

I am very choosy about what my children (ages 9 and 2) watch on the television.  We don't subscribe to cable or satellite tv for that very reason.  However, this particular type of video programming is totally awesome!  These stories follow the books exactly as they are written, and my children know these stories word for word, so they would know if any artistic liberties had been taken.  After watching these videos, my children are inspired to act them out or read the story books again and again.  I find that very rewarding because, unlike other types of media, what they are acting out is wholesome and pure, child-appropriate behavior.  Also, there are quite a few stories on each dvd, so you're getting a good value.

Amazing videos!!! Hands down love them!! Children learn through repetition... While this may be redundant and at times impossible with our busy schedules... These DVD 's get the job done and make it fun too!
My 18month old can recognize and identify colors,shapes, most numbers (1-10) and some letters. Playing them in the car....and a a few times a week while I do chores has put my daughter ahead of the game when school comes around. Couldn't be more happy with results. Use with my daycare children as well, similar results across the age groups. Sight words help the older that are in school...while teaching recognition to the younger ones.

A++++

I teach first grade and use these videos often for a fun review of the topics we have covered in science.  We have used them for older children (through grade 4) for a fun introduction to a topic or review of what was covered.  They are popular with students.  The boxed set includes a list of all the videos by topic as well as by disk, which is great when you are trying to find a particular show.

This is a great video for young children. It has several of the nick jr characters dealing with sports of various types. Good for both girls and boys. My 3 children watch it constently, and never tire of it.

I really like these types of movies.  They are not really movies, but more like the story book is animated.  They are short and you can choose the option of "read along" subtitles.  I use these videos in my classroom during quiet time after lunch.  We watch them every Thursday and the kids enjoy the stories.  I sometimes also hold discussions about what we watched, similarities, differences, compare, contrast with a venn diagram etc.  I thought it was a worth while buy.

We are a homeschooling family, and our children absolutely LOVE Carmen Sandiego videos and now these games! These games are great for learning and having a fun time doing so. Our kids have so much fun trying to win against Daddy, who just happens to be a little more of a history buff than anyone else in the family! The only 2 things I can think of to comment on is 1 - some of the dates B.C. are in millions of years (thus not a young earth perspective). This wasn't a big deal for us; we simply teach our children that there are different views on how old the earth is. 2 - If you have really good eyesight, you can almost see the dates on the cards without using the "view finder" piece. Again, not a big deal for us; we just use our thumb to cover the date when we are holding the card. This game is a long term keeper for us!!

My children LOVE this video! Helped them to recognize their alphabet letters by sight at a very young age!
