ELEM: English Learning kits

[Sam Chu <lbsam@UST.HK>]

 Dear All,

 I'm looking for a set of English Learning materials (books, videos, songs, 
cassettes, etc.)
 for 2-5 years old kids. Materials for "English as a second language" will probably 
suit my
 needs better. However, materials for native English speakers will just be as good. 
I'm
 looking at 2 sets:

 1. Helen Doron Early English (http://helendoron.com/main.htm)
 This one seems to be good and the price is right.

 2. Disney's World of English

 This set is promoted VERY HEAVILY in Hong Kong and in Japan. It claimed that some
 Harvard psychologists participated in producing this set of learning materials. It 
does seem
 to contain good stuff. However, it is VERY EXPENSIVE - over USD 4,000 a set.

 Please let me know if you know some good sets that are priced reasonably. Besides, 
if
 you are familiar with "Disney's World of English", please comment if you think 
it's worth the
 money. Parents in Hong Kong are getting crazy for it now. Thanks.

 Sam
