Some kid show plots just make no sense at all. This makes it super-easy to make visual connections and memorize the sounds. As they say their /p/ sound, the letters themselves pop into puffy P’s so, just by looking at them, it reminds the kids of Popping Popcorn. In the “P” room, the P’s are overflowing out of a popcorn popper and the entire room is filled with popcorn. Memorable scenes and animations for each letter really help visual memory.These are the main things my kids and I love about this phonics video: In each room, Professor Quigley and the letters sing a song – ? “the M says “mmmm”, the M says “mmmm”, every letter makes a sound, the M says “mmmm” ? (to the tune of The Farmer in the Dell) – as they teach Tad the sound that the letter makes. For example, the M’s practice saying “mmm, mmm” as they eat tasty treats in their classroom. Each room on the tour is dedicated to a letter of the alphabet where letters are being trained to make their correct sound. Sibling frog characters, Leap, Lily, and Tad, visit the Letter Factory (where their dad works) but Tad ends up touring the factory with the eccentric Professor Quigley. It covers the the 26 English letters, A-Z, and each letter’s most common phonetic sound. animated cartoon meant to teach young kids beginning phonics. We’ve made this DVD part of our toddler/pre-K curriculum pretty much every year now! ** LeapFrog Letter Factory DVD Review What It Is ** Update: My now-three-year-old daughter has loved Letter Factory just as much as her brothers and she picked up most of the letter sounds after just a few weeks with the DVD. Letter Factory took him from ‘just recognizing letters’ to ‘ready-to-blend short words’ in a remarkably short amount of time. Time will tell if it’s effective for my toddler daughter, too. I thought it might be a fluke but I had a similar experience with my second son, too. But he started pointing out letters in books and on signs and saying their sounds… No exaggeration – he learned all the basic letter sounds within a week!Īt first I was skeptical – I thought he’d only recognize and sing along in the context of watching the show. Right around that time I stumbled across LeapFrog Letter Factory and we watched it a few times. When my first son was two and could recognize most of the alphabet, he then began to show an interest in letter sounds. So this very positive review is a result of good, old-fashioned consumer satisfaction from a grateful homeschool mom. I don’t want to overstate things but… LeapFrog Letter Factory taught my kids to read!īut in all seriousness, I can’t think of any other single educational DVD that has been so effective or so requested in our household.Ī DISCLAIMER: LeapFrog doesn’t know I exist and I haven’t received any products from them other than ones bought fair and square.
