We love Fridge Phonics at my house! It comes with a small letter reader with a speaker, and all 26 letters. Each letter fits into the small space on the letter reader, and it recognizes and identifies the letter. It also says the sound/sounds that the letter makes. A separate button will sing the Alphabet Song, no matter which letter is in the reader.
My son got this for his 2nd birthday, and he loves it! He moves the letters around and identifies the ones he knows. It's even SO much fun to push them off the fridge and on to the ground, and then pick them all back up! He likes to spell his name with the letters.
This toy is sturdy, colorful, and well worth the price. What a big improvement from the red and blue magnetic letters that I had as a child!
My one and only recommendation would be for LeapFrog to add lowercase letters, so this product can grow with children as they get older and are ready both upper and lowercase letters.
