From the Back Cover Once kids have learned the alphabet, they re ready to combine those letters and sounds into words they can read. And who better to take them through the first fun steps of reading than their favorite Sesame Street friends. Leave it to Big Bird, Grover, Bert and Ernie, Cookie Monster and more to come up with stories, songs and rhymes that turn reading into a delightful game.

dvd please
My daughter learned how to read at three years old by watching this video everyday-she loved it! She would go around the house singing the songs which are so catchy that I still have them memorized after 14 years.I don't think they realize how much they are learning while enjoying this,and it didn't stop there,she loves reading even still and does wonderful in anything she chooses.So can't help but think maybe this had a little to do with it-my only complaint is that it doesn't come in dvd so a new generation can enjoy-'learn'

Really weird and scares my 2 yo
I wanted to get my 2y/o something that would have phonics and be fun; loves Sesame Street. This show was annoying , boring and had a few strange scenes with characters that actually scared my son. I just tossed it.

Please bring this to DVD!
As a child I learned all of my letter sounds from Sesame Street, I'm now an earl childhood teacher and the parent of a Sesame Street fan. In my opinion, this is the best Sesame video out there and an excellent support to children in developing phonemic awareness. I can't understand why it hasn't been rereleased in DVD format like so many other videos of its era. Sesame Workshop, please bring this one back!

I purchased this video to introduce, reinforce and rehearse pre-reading skills with my 3 year old. This video features members of the Sesame Street Gang: ryhming, sounding out words, and playing with word families. The video subtily teaches the left to right direction for reading and reinforces phonics. The songs are catchy, which helps preschoolers to retain the concepts. My daugther is learning the songs and progessing forward in reading readiness quite well. I highly recommend this video for parents that want their children to have a strong foundation for reading.

Love it!
This is an excellent video for beginning readers. I only wish it were available on DVD. Since they are bringing back the old school sesame street maybe this will happen too.

A classic skit collection dealing with the ability to read.
Here is a must-have Sesame Street video, a lot for nostalgia. There are classic cartoons and muppet segments from way-back-when. Great songs and great characters liven up this great video! END

Great product but beware of duplication
This is a great tape, brilliantly done and very engaging. However be aware that the 'Getting Ready to Read' programme is the same as another Sesame Street product 'Learn to Read' :-/
