The Leap Frog Letter Factory DVD teaches letters and their sounds during an adventure with the fun and familiar Leap Frog learning toy characters Leap, Lily and Tad. The Leap Frog gang and the audience go on a tour of a letter factory hosted by Professor Quigley.
As a teacher and Mom, there are several reasons that I like this DVD as a teaching tool. The Leap Frog Letter Factory exposes children to both the upper and lower case letters and their sounds. It uses fun songs to teach and the sounds are repeated enough to give kids a chance to absorb it but moves on quickly enough to avoid kids getting bored.
The message is interactive and encourages movement while learning as letters are active too. Letter Ds are drumming, Js are jumping and Ks are kicking.
With so many choices of entertaining DVDs for kids today, educational DVDs really have to have to be very entertaining as well to capture kids' attention and affection. Leap Frog has done an excellent job of balancing of education and entertainment in the Leap Frog Letter Factory DVD.
My daughter enjoyed this DVD for several years and now my son enjoys it as well. Kids will request this DVD and even better they will learn from it.
This DVD runs for 35 minutes and includes an interactive game at the the end that allows kids to test their new skills at recognizing letters Us their sounds.
My Viewpoint:
The Leap Frog Letter Factory uses the Leap Frog characters Tad, Lily and Leap to take kids on an adventure that is both entertaining and educational. This well-done educational DVD is an excellent tool to reinforce letters and letter sounds recognition and expression.
