I bought the LeapFrog Letter Factory video to share with a friend who owns a daycare. When I put the video in the kids were mesmerized. They caught on immediately and started to chant along with the characters. I love that the video helps with phonics and makes visual connections for the kids. I was glad to see familiar characters on the video to some of the interactive toys we have at home. When the video was over the kids wanted me to play it over again. They watched it that first day about six times.

I have since brought the video to my home. I have two 5 year olds and two toddlers. My five year olds are reading but they still enjoy the Letter Factory video. My younger two enjoy dancing and singing with the video. The action and movements capture their attention. The fast pace keeps them engaged. The storyline is simple enough for a 2-3 year old to follow and not too primary for the older kids.

The video was money well spent. I would encourage any mom of a toddler or preschooler to...

hoyler says "Little ones learn letters fast!" about LeapFrog: Letter Factory

hoyler — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 20:24:53 GMT

This movie is great for little ones who are learning the alphabet. It only took a few times of our 3 year old watching this and he knew all of the letters of the alphabet and the sounds they make.....something we had been teaching for MONTHS. Another bonus is that the songs, sounds, etc. all go along with the leapfrog learning toys like the word whammer, etc. The characters are all likeable in the movie and they move fast enough through the alphabet that they don't lose the childrens attention. The animation is cute and fun. The letters all involved in an activity having to do with the letter they start with and they all are doing something related to the sound each letter makes. Again, this is a great learning and reinforcement tool for toddlers and early school age kids. And, it is so fun for them to watch, they don't know they are learning. This is a must have video for all parents of little ones.

mom4two says "Even my 16 month old is learning from it!" about LeapFrog: Letter Factory

The Leap Frog dvd "The Letter Factory" is one of the best elarning tools for phonics that I have used. My husband and I gave it to out daughter for her third birthday. She wants to watch it three or more times a day. She has had it a little over a week and she can already tell you the sound that most of the letters say. She did already know her alphabet prior to watching this video.

We also have a 16 month old son who watches this video with her. Not only is this one of the few videos he will watch practically to the end, but he is learning his alphabet and which letters make which sounds. He is pointing to different letters in books and on signs and he can easily identify at least five different letters. If I ask him what any letter A through F says, he can tell me that sound.

This was recommended to me by a friend who homeschools all four of her children and she uses this video in conjunction with their other curriculum to teach her children how to read.

I highly recommend...

jitterbug76 says "Love it!" about LeapFrog: Letter Factory

Picked up this video for only $9 at Target and we have really been enjoying it. My son (almost 3) has been asking to watch it twice every day and it's so pleasant that I'm not annoyed by it at all. We also have the "Your Baby Can Read" DVD series from Usborne that he started with. That series was more expensive ($80 for 4 or 5 DVDs) and more annoying for mom and dad but he loves it. I'm thinking these two DVDs together will help his reading skills develop. He recognizes all his letters and loves singing his alphabet. I understand phonics is one of the easiest ways to teach reading. I also hear there are two other Leapfrog DVDs that help teach phonics thru the videos. I imagine we'll be investing in those as well. I love that my son is already learning letters and interested in the early phases of learning. How amazing that we have inexpensive, fun, educational videos like this available to us!

shanereyer says "A great help to learning letters!" about LeapFrog: Letter Factory

shanereyer — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 13:22:12 GMT

I did not expect this dvd to teach my son as much as it did about letters! It really helped him to learn which sounds each letter makes. The cartoon makes a song out of it and makes it very fun for kids. When practicing with my son if he got confused on a letter I would sing the song from the dvd..."Every letter makes a sound T says..." and he would remember from the cartoon and finish. It was really amazing! I definitely recommend this dvd for anyone with a child in the process of learning their letters and the sounds they make. Leap from puts out quality learning materials and "Letter Factory" is no exception!...

My wife and I started purchasing Leap Frog products when our daughter, who is now 6, was a baby. We have found the Leap Frog products to be very educational and fun learning tools. We purchased the Letter Factory DVD for our daughter when she was around 18 months. She mastered her alphabet in no time. A year or so later, we purchased the Talking Words DVD. She was able to spell and read at an early age. She is in first grade now and can read with ease. We now have a 3 year old who loves these DVDs. He is now starting to understand the basic word concepts and loves reading as well....

jas23847 says "Great for kids AND it's not irritating to watch repeatedly!" about LeapFrog: Letter Factory

LeapFrog Letter Factory is awesome. My son loves singing along with the DVD and actually asks for it. He's three years old and knows all his letters and what sound they all make. This DVD has helped make it possible for him to be interested in reading and he brings me things and wants me to help him sound out words already!! I've never wanted to push my kids into education because I want them to love learning the way I do, not hate school and avoid schoolwork. LeapFrog makes it fun to learn and now my son has figured out that each putting all the letters' sounds together is what makes words. It's GREAT!!

roshawnsmith says "OUSTANDING" about LeapFrog: Letter Factory

roshawnsmith — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 13:41:35 GMT

This is an excellent movie for your young children. Before my daughter started school, i brought this so the she could grasp the concept of what school was going to be like. She looked at it everyday after nap time, and in about a week or two she knew all of her ABC's, when she went to school, her teacher wasso impressed, she was the top of her class for the school year. I truly adore this tape. Its so educational, and it helps the kids out big time because they dont know that they are really learning, they just think that they are looking at a good kids movie.

Dyllan says "LeapFrog: Letter Factory is my daughter's favorite DVD." about LeapFrog: Letter Factory

Dyllan — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 17:25:38 GMT

Both my daughters loved this DVD. My oldest is starting to outgrow it at age 7, but my youngest, at age 4, watches it daily. And yes, it's a good idea for parents to be in the other room if they don't want to go mad from the repitition. But unlike other children's movies, the repetition here serves a purpose. What's being repeated is the sounds that each letter of the alphabet makes.

Honestly, I don't understand why this movie is fun, but the kids love it, and they're learning phonics. It's great.

I just loved this DVD. My 2 year old knows all her letters and letter sounds. She can identify both capital and lower case letters now. She is even starting to write them on paper. This DVD is seriously priceless. What an easy way to teach your toddler their ABC's!...

sneakypigs says "Great educational tool" about LeapFrog: Letter Factory

sneakypigs — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 14:29:09 GMT

This DVD is a great educational tool to teach your little ones the upper and lower case letters along with the sounds of each. It has very cute photos that go with the letters to help your child remember the sounds. I owe this DVD to helping my child learn to read at the age of 4. Leapfrog is AWESOME!!!...
