Alphabet DVD is true to its name, providing animated segments and playful songs and games that teach children the letters of the alphabet while building word awareness and phonic familiarity. Alphabet Al is the animated host who leads us through the fun and learning, starting with the New Alphabet Song, a sing-a-long that takes us through all the letters of the alphabet, first in upper case, then in lower. Next, each letter gets its very own sing-a-long, each of which introduces us to several words that start with the given letter. Reinforcement through repetition is used to excellent effect throughout the entire DVD. The highly entertaining Funny-Looking Letters Game conveys that letters don't always look exactly the same, and helps children recognize familiar letters regardless of color, font, or typeface. The Name Game is also great fun, with kids jumping up when the first letter of their name is called and sitting back down when a bell rings. Alphabet DVD closes out with all letters (upper and lower case) traced on a virtual blackboard one after another, as well as the numbers 0 through 9.
