Teacher's Corner
Our DVD programs can be easily played on a TV or a computer (with DVD read capability). Each chapter is approximately five minutes in length -- making it easy to fit into tight schedules.
Yes. Any program that uses a block letter style can use our chants and video to assist with formation. Some parents and teachers use our video and chants concurrently with other programs; some have switched to ours after previously using other programs, and all have reported great success!
Children love handwriting because The TV Teacher™ has made it fun for them-using the three components they like best: visual, rhythm & rhyme (song), and repetition. They feel more confident because they remember the letter chant that assists their motor planning!
For an additional teacher's aid, print and post the Miss Marnie “Wash Your Hands” picture reminder by your class sink. During the winter months, our “Cover Your Mouth” song and picture can make this reminder fun for your kids. Our “Days of the Week” song is also a big hit!

Our programs are fun and engaging learning tools. These DVDs combine singing and repetitive instruction - a recognized technique that many teachers and therapists use to assist with memory. Alphabet Beats, for example, is different because it incorporates the visual instruction component. Many teachers claim they've been chanting for years but with Alphabet Beats, it is the combination of the auditory cues and visual instruction that has proved to make a significant difference.

“We have had great success with our kids while using The TV Teacher! We have been using the video a couple of times each week during our pre-academic time along with supplementing it with the chants and practice time to generalize it throughout the week. I wish you could see my kids when they hear the intro music come on. I don't even have to tell them what time it is because they come running over!”
K.Swanson - Special Needs Preschool Teacher
“I've been using the Alphabet Beats program in my kindergarten class, and my students are now excited to write. This DVD has really given them confidence as writers”
J.Dino - Kindergarten Teacher
We suggest playing a new chapter in its entirety for your class, without asking them to write or draw at the same time. Initially, encourage students to focus on the visual instruction because it is so fun to watch. Then have your class practice writing. Also, consider using personal white boards or chalkboards as your students say the chants and begin practicing. After each chapter, the programs will automatically return to their main menus.
