Anchors and Sails Reading DVDs Videos ($15 each disk)
On the DVDs there are dramatizations of letters, games, food props, charts, real kids acting out letter-based games etc. It is very useful for parents who would like to have me teach the material for them at their convenience.. It is very useful for parents with several kids since the tapes are reusable and good for kids who are balking at reading but like watching TV. It is also useful for small groups nursery schools and daycares. The order of progression is exactly the same as the book's, so some parents use the book and video together though this is not necessary.
Level 1 Reading (3-Disk Set $45): This video set has three 2-hour DVDs covering all of the level one book and skills.
Level 2 Reading (4-Disk Set $60): This video set has four 2-hour DVDs covering all of the level two book and skills.
