 Leap Frog - Learn to Read at the Storybook Factory :: 1419814133
Description
| Product Description |
|
| Reading is simply putting words together to discover a story. When Mr. Websley glimpses Tad and his friends rehearsing "The Three Little Pigs," he reminisces about favorite childhood stories and is struck with an idea for a new invention--a talking storybook. Frog and Quigley are called to construct a new factory and Tad and his friends begin to rehearse in earnest since they're slated to be the stars of the book. Problem is, Tad has been cast as the narrator, but he doesn't know how to read. Professor Quigley and Leap reassure Tad that he already knows everything he needs to know to be a successful reader: he learned his letters and the sounds they make in the Letter Factory and that sounds combine to make words in the Talking Words Factory. All that's left is to combine the words to make a story. Tad learns some new tricks like "chunking" words together to sound like talking and that punctuation markings like commas and periods help with inflection. In no time, Tad is reading fluently and it looks like the talking storybook will be ready right on schedule. Viewers age 4 to 6 will develop their reading and comprehension skills right along with Tad thanks to on-screen highlighted text. DVD extras include a read-along storybook of a somewhat untraditional version of "The Three Little Pigs" that can be played with or without a voice track and five sing-along songs. --Tami Horiuchi Editorial Descriptions are usually submitted by the manufacturers, publishers and authors.

I have all of the movies and my girls (4 and 5) love all of them. I purchased the letter factory one last year just to see what they were like. After they watched it five times in a row I went out and purchased the others that were out at that time. They were also big hits. They never get tired of them. I bought this one the day it came out and will purchase any that come out in the future. They are only about 35 minutes long but it is short enough to hold the attention of even a very busy two year old which was the age my youngest one was when I bought the first one.

My kids liked to watch it, but it was kind of short. Only 35 minutes, and you would have to go back and hit play, again. It does NOT repeat play automatically.

My five year old loves this DVD, like all the "Leap" DVD's: but conceptually, too much is stuffed into 35 minutes. I realize that the relatively short format of "Leap" videos is one of the reson why they hold young children's interest so readily: but like "Math Circus", too many concepts are jammed into too short a time. Tad learns to read too quickly! Again - Mr. Websley is creepy. The better things about this video, are the stronger female presence (Lily's in charge)and the absence of annoying Professor Quigley. And I can't fault the punctuation portion, which teaches what those items are in a way that's memorable and easy to understand.

I love all the Leapfrog DVDs that we have, and without a doubt pre-ordered this DVD even before it became available.
My 30 month old loves this DVD as much as The Letter Factory and The Word Factory. When he "mastered" the other two DVDs, I felt a sense of emptiness not being able to find anything else quite like them to keep his interest. So you can imagine how elated I was when I found out there is another new DVD!
He now knows his commas, periods, question marks and also exclamation marks, and point them out to me when I read his favourite bedtime storybooks. Before this DVD, he was oblivious to their existence. And whenever I am at the computer, he will hit the comma & period keys on a Word document (not possible for exclamation marks and question marks, as these require the SHIFT key) all on his own, which means he has learnt them too!
Looking forward to more DVDs from Leapfrog!
