Dr. Seuss's ABC

Dr. Seuss's ABC Review



Together, the three stories in this video offer a fine introduction to the basics of reading, in an appealing and humorous format kids will enjoy. Dr. Seuss ABC's teaches the alphabet through whimsical Seuss characters and crazy, kid-friendly words. Each word of the alphabet is introduced with its capital and lowercase letters. Then different words that use the letter are spelled. Kids will enjoy the zany illustrations, and will be challenged to learn phonetics, with phrases like "duck-dog," "quacking quackeroo," "four fluffy feathers on a fiffer-feffer-fef," and "yawning yellow yak." In the second segment, the Cat in the Hat points out all the wonderful things kids can learn if they only read with their eyes open. Finally, "Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You?" teaches phonetics through the story of a man who can make sounds like animals and everyday appliances. --Elisabeth Keating
