I like it because it provides my kids a fun way to learn about letters and their sounds. My youngest is struggling to remember his letters and I feel like this is a positive way to learn. Also, it was recommended by the Chester County Intermediate Unit that works with him once a week.
These DVD is great, my 3 year old has really gotten so much out of it! She has learned her letters and sounds within a week of watching it a couple times, she is learning and having fun with it too, dancing and singing with the DVD. I don't let her watch a lot of tv or DVD's but don't mind letting her indulge in this one every now and then, all the leap frog DVD and products are wonderful, thanks to the seller too, fast shipping and great prices!
Not only does this DVD teach your toddler letter sounds, it also keeps them entertained. They will ask to watch it over and over again, and you won't mind because they are actually learning something. I love a program that can do both for your toddler!
I am an Early Childhood Teacher and I had seen another teacher use this video inthe classroom as an instructional aide. I had to have one and I was delighted to find it online!
I purchased this because of all of the great reviews. My son wants nothing to do with it. Maybe it's his age (25 months). I'll put it away for a few months and try again. Warning......It has those same ANNOYING voices of all the other Leap Frog toys!!
This is a Leap Frog Learning Video. It helps with letter name, sound and sight recognition. I helps me child because she loves video and retains what she sees and jingles she hears. Just in watching the video 1 time she new the jingle and we sing it together and immediately learned her letter sounds. She is 3. I am very pleased with this product.
I rented this from the Library for my 2 year old. She loves it so much, so I bought one. I use this and the preschool prep dvd and combines she is picking up her letters great.
I purchased the LeapFrog Letter Factory dvd for my 3yr old niece. She knows how to recite the alphabet really well; but she was getting the written letters confused. I really like the way the dvd approaches teaching letters and their sounds. All of the letters have a fun way of making their sounds which keeps my niece interested. She watches it every day now and acts out how to make certain letter sounds like they do on the dvd. This will eventually help when she is ready to learn how to read.
it has great songs that the kids really like. They can learn to recognize the letters and the sounds that they make. Both my two and four year old love it.
My kids love this video!! I have a 3 year old boy and a 5 year old girl. They go around singing the song and letter sounds from the video all the time! I highly recommend this dvd for children learning to identify letters and letter sounds!
I have bought this item twice I have liked it so much. I really like that it focuses on letter sounds and not as much the names. The research shows that knowing the sounds first supports early reading more than knowing the names of the letters.
I teach kids with learning disabilities and at-risk youth. Letter Factory helps kids learn alphabet letters and sounds. If your child is having a hard time learning these basics, buy this video and have them watch it daily. I am not an advocate of movies or video games; but this does provide a different way to expose kids to the basics. Kids need to arrive in kindergarten with these basics mastered!
I order 5 for the classroom. The students are taking turns taking it home. It teaches letter names and sounds. My 3yrs and 10 months old granddaughter is learning and having fun.
I used this video for my son after he turned 2. He mastered the letter names and sounds fast that he started reading before he was 3. Compared to Sounds of Letters by M.D. Michael Levin and other videos that teach phonics I think this is the best. The other videos are boring but this one is pure fun. Buy this with Leapfrog Fridge Phonics and your preschooler will be reading in no time.
If you are looking for an educational & entertaining DVD that will teach and keep your child's interest, look no further. Excellent in teach sound & identification of every letter in the alphabet correctly. Excellent tool for preparing child for reading (depending on age). DO NOT GET THE WINNIE THE POO ABC'S Discovering Letters and Words DVD. My child hates it and it does not cover the entire alphabet.
Purchased this as a gift because I was told by a grandmother that this is the best video for toddlers. She said her grandson knew how to read by the time he was four because of this video.
My daughter is 18 months and she loves this dvd. It is by far one of the best dvd's for learning your letters. It is so well done with great attention to detail and even I do not mind watching it. Your child will be sounding out their letters in no time. It's a must have for all parents!
