Summary: LOVE THIS DVD!!
Review: "Santa" delivered this DVD to my son at age 2 3/4...HE LOVES IT!!! Will actually ask to watch it over Disney movies and even Thomas the Tank Engine! We catch him sounding out the letters along with the DVD! It's great that it's just long enough to keep his attention for the duration of the story (he's very physical and active). A MUST-HAVE for preschoolers and kids learning their alphabet and phonics!

Summary: Great learning tool!
Review: A friend actually recommended this DVD to us with rave reviews. We trusted their opinion and bought it. We've had the video for about 2 months now and my daughter (22 months old) loves watching it over and over again. She easily learned what the different letters look like and the sounds they make. I highly recommend this video to any parent.

Summary: Another great video from Leap Frog
Review: After learning their letters and phonics in less than 2 days from watching the Letter Factory video, I decided to go out and buy the Word Factory video for my boys (just turned 3 & 4). You cannot beat the price, Walmart and Target had the DVD for just $9.99! Both of the boys love this video too, especially my 4 year old. He has learned all about the vowels A,E,I,O,U and how they stick the words together like glue. It's got very catchy tunes and lots of colors to keep thier attention. They have no idea they are learning how to read, just that they are watching TV! I am so impressed with both of the videos (Letter and Word Factory) I just hope Leap Frog continues to make more with the same great quality. At the beginning of the Word Factory, Tad is playing with his Dad with Leap Frog Letter Flash Cards, I REALLY hope to see them in stores soon, my son asks me for them EVERY time we watch the video. Everyone must go buy both of the videos, the price is great and the investment is priceless!

Summary: GREAT DVD!!
Review: After reading some of the reviews, I went to a local retail store and picked this up. I watched it with my 2-1/2 year old once, and she was glued to the screen for the entire movie. When it ended, she asked to see it again.During the second viewing, she started to sing some of the songs, and was starting to call out the letters and spelling the words with Tad. I had been working the alphabet with her for several weeks, but she was having some problems with recognition on "K", "X", "C", and "Q". After watching this DVD with her, she's now able to recite the entire alphabet with no problem, she can spell simple three-letter words (Hat, Cat, Dad, etc.) and recognizes all the upper case letters. The money spent for this half hour DVD does seem high, but the educational value of it is well worth the money in my book.

Summary: Great For kids who already know letters!
Review: I am a nanny for two preschoolers: one 4.5 and one 5. They have letters and phonics down but making the transition to actually decoding words has not been easy. This video gives them a fun way to remember "how" to do it. It has great colors, music, and repetition that go along with fun ways to remember what a vowel is and even sound blends. I am very impressed with this...they are not big into TV/videos but they ask to watch this twice a day and I can see a difference in their eagerness to learn! Great job, LeapFrog!

Summary: What a GREAT Dvd!!!
Review: I bought this dvd for my daughter (almost 6 years old) and son (3 years old). They both love it. While my 3 year old isn't learning to spell, he is learning letters and it is helping with his speech. My daughter has really improved her spelling.
A++++++

Summary: Amazing!
Review: I just had to state how amazing this video is. I just spent 2 weeks with my daughter, son-in-law, grand daughter and brand new grand son. My grand daughter is 23 months old and she knows all her letters. She can pick them out at random anywhere a letter appears. She knows the names of the letters and their sounds. She has been doing this since they brought the letter factory into their home when she was only 21 months old. Well, it is time for her 2nd birthday and the best present I can send her is the Word Factory. Now Leap Frog needs to come up with number and color videos!

Summary: Excellent - IMPROVE YOUR CHILD'S SELF-CONFIDENCE
Review: I recently bought all three of the DVD's. The first one teaches the sounds of the alphebet which is really cute. My granddaughter, age 5, who is in Kindergarden, knew her ABC's but not her phonics. Within three weeks of watching these dvd's she is reading short little books and wanting to spell! These are her favorite dvd's that she requests to watch as soon as she wakes up. She would wake up in the morning, when spending the night, and start sounding things out and then ask to watch the dvd's. She is so proud of herself because she is able to sound out words and read. She is so excited about reading when four months ago, when I moved to be close to her, she hated school and wanted nothing to do with reading because, as she told me, it was too hard. Now she can't wait to crawl up by me and read the scholastic books I bought for my other granddaughter (whom I am rasing.) The granddaughter I am rasing was reading at age 4 (She was reading to her preschool class and they kids thought she was amazing, she is now in First grade and reading at a Third grade reading level). Phonics is the best way to begin to teach reading, before sight words, and increase your child's self-esteem and give them a head start so they know what is going on when they get to school. Lots of praise from the parent also helps to encourage them that it is important. Leap Frog DVD's are excellent tools, if not the best I have ever used!

Summary: My daughter asks for it!
Review: It's so much fun to watch because the creators took the time to make a story out of learning. I enjoy it because the kids want to do something kind for their father and in the process learn how to make words.
