5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute perfection for my 4 yr old, July 2, 2004

This review is from: Leap Frog Gift Set - Letter Factory/Talking Word Factory (+ Plush) (DVD)

I have always read to my son, now 4 since he was an infant. He loves it, and knew all of his letters by sight, but that was about it. After watching Letter Factory and then later, Word Factory, he was making phonic sounds and understanding vowels/consonants in a matter of hours! He went around singing the Leapfrog phonics songs, how words are 'stuck together' by vowels and basically reading 3 letter words after a few days of this. And people say videos/DVD's are bad for kids! These two videos are a PERFECT way for absolute beginners to grasp their phonics and letter sounds in a very fast way, and be on their way to not only reading words but spelling them! I am so impressed with the Leap Frog letter/word factory videos..absolute jewels for young childhood learning. Now my son will excel and learn faster once he gets into formal preschool and kindergarten.

5.0 out of 5 stars Educational and entertaining..........., January 22, 2004

My kids, ages 3 and 5, love these videos. My three year old is now making the letter sounds and recognizing letters and my five year old is sounding out words after watching the videos. That's money well spent.

This is such a great DVD. I wanted to get my stubborn three-year-old ready for Pre-K next September. He's not very easy to sit down and teach and he frustrates easily. Since viewing the Letter Factory, he's surprisingly familiar with many of the letters and their sounds. Kudos Leap Frog! Thanks a bunch for such a fundamental start.
