LeapFrog Letter Factory Learning DVD Reviews

WOW!  This DVD is fantastic!  I wish I had known about it when my daughter was younger. I bought this for my son who has just turned 3, though, my 6 year old daughter really enjoys watching it also.  She was actually having a little trouble remembering the different short vowel sounds but after watching this video she is no longer having any trouble at all!

The Letter Facotry teaches the names and sounds of all the letters and short vowels of the alphabet.  It is presented in a fun and entertaining way.  They actually give each letter a "personality" which matches its sound.  For instance,...

I bought this video, along with several others by LeapFrog, for my 2.5 year old daughter. She watched it daily and by the end of the week, she knew all of her letters and their sounds. That was 3 months ago, and now she is beginning to put sounds together and sound out words. She is obsessed with letters, and talks about letters and their sounds all day long. Thanks, LeapFrog! I'm guessing she'll be reading within a year.
