Scholastic Continues to Roll Out Award-Winning and Timely DVDs

Meryl Streep, Sarah Jessica Parker, Danny Glover Gracing Scholastic Movies: Enjoyable for Kids and Parents Too!

Two timely DVDs were recently released by Scholastic and as usual, each brought a level of learning to my son that thrilled me.  Scholastic has continued to do me the honor of reviewing its educational and timeless treasures over the last few years and I thank them. We have enjoyed the DVDs and will continue to do so as he grows. If you are unfamiliar with the collection, it is a library of classic "Treasures" that allow you to read along on screen with your child as the story lines are captured vividly on the screen. 

The latest two DVDs ruling our castle are The Language Learning Collection Featuring Jorge El Monito Ciclista (Curious George, Harry the Dirty Dog and more in Spanish), which was released during National Hispanic Heritage Month. This DVD contains 18 beautifully illustrated stories in English and Spanish. Studies have shown that second language learning not only improves a child's linguistic abilities, but their cognitive and creative abilities as well.


Second, released in late August in honor of the 10th Anniversary of 9/11, The Man Who Walked Between the Towers - one of the most memorable stories in the history of the World Trade Towers, Philippe Petit, a French man who walked a tightrope between the massive monuments in 1974.

Never have I seen DVDs for children published with such passion and with such important role models, valuable lessons and stories that will inspire my child throughout his life. Thank you for continuing to grow my child's mannerisms, language skills and reading ability!

Scholastic Videos may be purchased at www.newkideo.com.  Titles coming soon include Spoon (Stories about Friendship), Them Bones (I recommend for older than two, it kind of seemed odd to my two year old who had never seen a skeloton dance), and a new collection that contains over three hours of fanciful content, including Chrysanthemum, Rapunzel, and Is Your Mama A Llama? Kids and parents can enjoy watching these classics together, listening and reading along with celebrity narration by Meryl Streep, Sarah Jessica Parker, Danny Glover, and others!
