![Special Kids Learning Series: Spelling [DVD]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5128Skr9C2L.jpg)
The Special Kids speech and skill development video modeling programs have been demonstrated to help many visually receptive learners acquire verbal, reading, writing, academic, motor, play, self-help, social and interactive skills. Special Kids Learning Series is designed to teach and promote quality, effective, integrated learning for children with autism spectrum disorder, pervasive developmental disorder, Down syndrome, mental retardation, cerebral palsy, Apserger syndrome, dyslexia and other developmental and learning disabilities. It has been proven that video is one of the most effective ways to reach and teach this audience. Each program focuses on teaching early academics, self-help, hygiene and socialization skills to help visually receptive learners acquire speech, reading, writing, fine motor, computer, play, human interaction and other important skills. This series employs the following teaching methods: Multi-Associative Learning: Special Kids combines video of an object, action or person through real-time video or photography, with the audio association of its identification through the spoken word. Modeling: The simple video modeling of actions, events and proper behaviors. Generalization: The grouping of objects, actions or events in their proper category or sequence. Repetition: Repetitive presentation of materials, in a variety of approaches, to reiterate, yet entertain. The Human Element: Very importantly, Special Kids features the human element - via host "John Sprecher," father of a boy with autism - that Newsweek calls essential to learning. Words are our great friends and helpers - because when we use words, we communicate! Join John and learn how to spell an alphabet-full of wonderful words. You'll read and write and say words, create sentences from words and discover how sentences make a story!

I rate this dvd one star only because I can't rate it lower. It offers absolutely nothing in helping a child, special or not, learn to spell. The absolutely boring man spells a few words that he writes on a whiteboard. The words range from two letter words to xylophone, but without anything to build on. I use word families to build on, for example "ake" (cake, bake, etc), or "at" words (cat, rat, etc). It is a 30 minute dvd, but he also builds a story. If you want your child to learn to spell, you are better off creating something yourself. I purchased it because I wanted to put something into the dvd player when I want him to put in some learning time while being entertained. He was not entertained and there is not much a kid can learn from that dvd. If you still want to purchase it, you can get it at Christian Books for $15.00. I suggest getting something else or creating your own learning tool.

Great video! Too Expensive here!
This is a great learning tool and there is an entire series. Just don't pay these prices and look up a christian store for better pricing! You can afford 2 for this price there!
