"I bought a copy of "Monki See" for my granddaughter Isabelle who is 20 months old. She absolutely loves it! Of all the dvd's I have exposed her to, she loves this one the best, especially the music. After her initial excitement when I put it on for her she is mesmerized by it. She learned all of her body parts after watching it only a couple of times. She is very active and not much holds her attention but she stands still and stares at it until it is over.I intend to buy one for every new Mom that I know. What a great gift.Congratulations on a great product."

"I love Monki See! This is a half hour break each day that you can feel great about. My son Joseph is learning fast. At 12 months old, he can show you each body part. This is such a wonderful foundation for learning!"

"This is a DVD actually designed and produced by one of the members of TeachYourBabyToRead group. I had lots of mixed feelings when I just got this DVD, expecting it to be non-professional type of videos that are usually coming out from home production... and I was very pleasantly surprised! This DVD turned out to be well made and I actually found it exceptionally good for the little ones! The initial DVD targets kids up 2 years old. It incorporated the good features of many other DVDs for the small babies: similarly to Baby Einstein's they have lots of baby's favorite images - kids, animals, and even engaging scenes with cute puppets (my kid used to love them when he was smaller).
But that's not all! It has songs, it has poems, it even has little animations! This video actually does what it promises: it helps you to get started with a reading program with kids - it shows 40 introductory words, that are common in baby's everyday vocabulary.
What I absolutely loved was that the words are not animated, like in LeapFrog, they don't have any distracting shadows and backgrounds, images on the words themselves... it is just so Doman to show large red words and to read it loud and clear. The words are followed by a small demonstration: kids pointing to the body parts, or an animal (if the word was an animal), or a puppet show.
What I loved the most about the video is the amount of comments. My major complain about Baby Einstein videos is that they are mostly silent. On the rare occasions when I was showing Baby Einstein's to my son, I'd usually sit next to him and comment every image, every action, every animal. "Monkey See" does that for you: it has plenty of good comments on actions and imagery, plenty of songs and poems that are read nicely and clearly, so mom's work would really amount only to hugs for the baby who is watching it.
My son's reaction: he is almost three. He has outgrown it (unfortunately!). He was interested for the first part of the show, but he is watching a lot more advanced videos by now and this is for the little babies. So I just turned on the slide show of the words that is available at the end. He was glad to review the old words that he has seen before, and I was glad there was such a simple way to show just the words themselves!
In all honesty, if I ever could do a DVD for my kid, that's how I'd like to do it. I was so charmed that I'll be definitely showing it to my number #2 one who'll hopefully join us soon and I'll be looking forward for more videos from this series."

"To all Grandparents and Parents who want to help boost their baby's IQ,
My name is Laurie Ralphs and I have found through much searching and prayer the best resources to teach your baby to read. As an elementary teacher for many years, I realized the problem with the potential of young minds is that they were not stimulated enough. I did things with my children when they were young, but in retrospect I was hitting way below the mark of their potential.
I have since found the most fun and easy solution for moms to teach the magic of reading to their babies. When I learned how effective this method was with brain-injured kids, I was convinced it would benefit all kids. The infant’s brain has the ability to accumulate and record hundreds of written words before they are even able to communicate that their brains understand. Baby’s brains are like computers that store everything in their surroundings. They are capable of learning 5 languages by age of five. They will learn more by age 5 than they will the rest of their lives, and the learning curve begins to plateau about the time they start first grade.
When I think about it, it's so exciting! Reading is the basis of all learning and what an edge of confidence and enjoyment my grandchildren will have since we are starting now. (Just a note, I taught my second two kids how to read before Kindergarten, after seeing my first two children struggle and dislike school. It was day and night difference.)
I found the book, How To Teach Your Baby To Read about a year ago. I read it several times and knew I wanted this for my grandchildren, but with six families I didn't want to make all the word cards. I then FOUND THE ANSWER TO MY PRAYERS ... if you go to www.monkisee.com, you will see that all the work is done for you! All my daughters got the four sets of cards and the DVD, which is everyone’s favorite. One of our babies squeals and waves her arms every time the flash cards come out. It’s the best gift I've ever given to my grandkids. For under $100 for each family, they were ready to go. Some of my daughters bought the book How To Teach Your Baby To Read. I think it is good to read so that you fully understand your child’s potential in these young years.
I actually found the products to be very cost effective, especially considering that there are pictures on the back. The cards are meant to be used as a game that is played for about 30 seconds several times a day. ...Anyway, if you have questions after reading the instructions and or the book Krista, the creator of MonkiSee will take your calls to answer any questions. She is wonderful and of course taught her young children to read with this method. My name is Laurie Ralphs. I’m from Utah and wanted to share my find with others. Have fun!"

"I strongly believe in early childhood education with a focus on reading. Children who have a reading focus prior to entering public education have a huge advantage and have maximized their potential for success in education."

"I ordered the dvd and the first set of flashcards and i got it two days ago. My child loves the dvd and in two days we have seen the dvd about 4 or 5 times. Im real excited that she loves the video so much, but I was wandering if you had anymore dvds or if you will have anymore dvds. I noticed that the dvd I have says vol. 1 so I am hoping there are others. Please let me know where I can order other dvds. Thank you,"

"My children have been watching the Baby's First Words video for about a month now. My 5 month old and 30 month old both enjoy watching it. The older one will often ask to watch Monki See. The puppets are so funny and the children are very cute. We also made some of our own flash cards to match the words on the slideshow. I let the children look at those also two or three times per day. Both of them really enjoy Skip and Howie! Thanks for such a wonderful product. Your webiste is very informative and helped me to understand some of the things that I had questions about Keep up the good work!"
