There have been some videos that have been key in early education for my kids that really reinforced the preschool curriculum of learning colors, shapes, ABC's, numbers/math, sight words, early reading and increasing vocabulary words. I have already mentioned Signing Time. In addition to these wonderful videos, we have had a lot of fun learning shapes, colors, letters, numbers, sight words and phonics with Preschool Prep. Company's videos of the same names. I first learned about these videos from a MOPS group when we had a "our favorite things" session and a fellow mom recommended them to all of us. Another video series along with toys and fridge magnets is Leap Frog's videos. I think the early ones are the best such as Letter Factory, The Talking Words Factory, The Code Word Caper, The Storybook Factory, and Math Circus. The newer videos didn't seem to hold my kids' attention as well. The Fridge Phonics magnets as well taught my children their abc's by sight, sound, the abc song and to be able to recognize the letters in any order.
A lot of ASD kids, are visual as well as tactile learners and all of these really reinforced their learning at such an important stage. I still play these videos for my 8 and 5 year old as reviews and they both still love them too. My 2 year old loves them and is starting his journey to learn these basics.
