| Tad, Leap, and Lily hop from the pages of the amazingly popular Leap Pad learning toys onto the television screen in this attention grabbing phonics program. Tad's disappointment at being unable to help his family with an important presentation at the letter factory quickly turns to excitement when he meets Professor Quigley and joins each of the letters of the alphabet in their own fun-filled classroom devoted to learning their unique sound. Tad practices karate kicks with the k's, digs the vibes with the cool cat d's drumming on the bongos, and snores peacefully with the z's while learning to recognize each letter and the sound it makes. A catchy, fun song serves as a summation of each letter's "class" and entices even the most reluctant of toddlers (and their parents) to sing each letter's sound. An interactive game follows the program and gives children a chance to practice their newfound skills of recognizing letters and their sounds. Consumers expect great educational products from LeapFrog and this DVD won't disappoint.

This DVD is by far the most effective educational program we have ever owned. It teaches letters and their sounds in a fun, entertaining way that holds a child's attention.
All three of my kids have learned from it, but I am most impressed with how much my youngest has learned. He's almost 3 now and he knows all his letters by sight and there phonetic sounds. But he knew the phonetic sounds far earlier...by the time his second birthday rolled around.
My 4-year-old knows the names and sounds of the letters as well and is already starting to sound out words. He won't enter kindergarten until '07 (as his birthday is in Nov) so he should be reading quite well by then.
Now I know this isn't that incredible. Kids their ages are doing this all over the world. But as much as I adore my children, I am not a very patient person. So I have not spent nearly as much time as I should working with them on these skills. I have to give Leapfrog most of the credit.
I highy recommend this DVD. All Leapfrog's DVDs are great, but this is definitely been the most effective.

My son, who just turned two, has been watching this DVD for about a month. He knows 75% of the letters. He can identify the letters and say the letter and/or make the sound. We also have the Leapfrog Fridge Phonics Letter Set which has played a large part in his learning. My son only said about 20 words up until a month or so ago, so we are astonished at how quickly he has learned the letters and he now says over 50 words. This is one of the best DVDs we have. I also got the Word Factory and I know we will love that when the time comes.

I have a 3 and 4 1/2 year old girls. The 4 1/2 year old has known her alphabet since she was 20 months old and she still loves this video. She asks to play it all the time as well as the game that she can play on the dvd. The video has helped her learn which letters make which sounds. My 3 year old also knows her alphabet although not as well and this video is helping her learn her letters better and which letters make which sounds. They also love the word whammer factory game. They both love to play with the word whammer and letter refrigerator magnet games. My 4 year old is learning to sound out words after watching this video.

My 33 month old apraxic son loves this DVD! He frequently asks to watch it. He has has only three words (mama, dada, and nana). This DVD has prompted him to try to imitate letter sounds. We view it on days he doesn't have therapy. I would recommend this product.

My son is 2 1/2 years old. I expose him to letters all the time - through books, foam letters in the bath, posters in his playroom, puzzles, etc. He never showed any recognition of letters, and he couldn't have cared less about them until a friend told me how much her son loved "The Letter Factory" video by Leap Frog. My son requests to see this video every day now. In about a week and a half of watching it, he knew almost all of his letter sounds. We will ask him, "What does the 'O' say?" He will say "Ahhhhh - and the O swings on the vine." He is visualizing what the letters do in the video! It is amazing. He is so proud of himself, and he is getting the foundation for reading that will help him in school and in life.
