ABC Video

My son is not at all motivated by memorizing letter names and sounds. It's such an abstract task that I think he doubts that it will ever lead to anything more interesting. To make practicing fun, I suggested that we make our own movie. He suggested a superhero theme, and then he drew a superhero for each letter. When he finished his drawings, we sat down and I used my video camera to record him saying the names of the letters and the sounds that they make. Then I used iMovie to edit my three-year-old and myself out of the video as much as possible. The result is far from professional, but we had fun making it, and it got my son excited about his letters for a few hours!
