I'm pretty sure my on -the-spectrum, can't focus 5 yr old kid has almost learned to read from this show. He knew only a few letters before getting into this show, despite years of effort from two schools, other learning shows, games, and activities. For some reason, this show really stuck on him. He shouts out the letters and plays along. As a parent, it's not the most entertaining show- but it really, really worked for him!
