Movie Reviews of LeapFrog: Letter Factory
Movie Review: Makes learning fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
We have been having trouble getting our almost-4-year-old interested in learning the letters. He can name all of the dinosaurs in an encylopedia, but he couldn't deciper 'Q' from 'P', nor did he really care too. He hated working on his letters in any form (flashcards, toys, books), and we had to bribe him to do so. After reading some reviews on this DVD, I went out and bought it last night. He watched it 4 times and by bedtime, was telling us the sounds for several letters, and was excited about it! Before this, we had not even introduced sounds yet, as we were still trying to get him to learn the letter names. He progressed quite a bit just by watching this 4 times. Also, I was impressed at how well it kept his attention and how much he enjoyed it. We normally limit his movie viewing time, so he has to be choosy about what he wants to watch. The only concern I had was that he misunderstood some of the sounds... like he thinks 'U' sounds like 'up' because the U's were floating up as they were saying the 'uhh' sound. Overall, I would definitely recommend this video to any parent trying to teach their children the alphabet and letter sounds. I'll be purchasing the Word Factory next!Movie Review: 2 1/2 yr. old knows his letters & sounds!!

My 2 yr. old son loves this DVD. He asks to watch it almost daily. After only a few times watching Letter Factory he knew all his letters and recognized them by sound. It's amazing to see a lil guy like him knowing all that so soon. I love this and would highly recommend it to anyone. As a matter of fact I bought one for all 3 of my siblings to let their kids (which are a year or 2 older and didn't know letters yet)watch and learn. Sure enough, they learned it as well. What a great concept they use to teach by singing. The "A" says "Ah" every letter makes a sound the "A" says "Ah". Then using a purple monster costume to scare the "A's" into saying "Ahhhh". It's cute and I enjoying watching it with him. You can stop it after each letter segment and review the letters if you like. Also on the menu it has a game. Use your remote to play. It says for instance, what letter says "mmm". Then you can help your child scroll through the letters or you can as he/she points to the correct letter. Select the correct letter and balloons and clapping and saying "Yay" go up the screen. The DVD is about 45 minutes long. This is a must have for any child 2-6 that hasn't learned all this yet.Movie Review: Such a blessing for my son who has ASD
Summary: 5 Stars
I would not normally write about my son but we feel like we have been given a present in this video. We have lots of videos and toys that deal with the alphabet but none have captured the attention of my sone who has an autistic spectrum disorder. He really does not like TV and does not play with toys. We have lots of Leap Frog toys - and he does not play with them.
But, this video is really teaching him his ABC's and he asks to watch it over and over. I sometimes hear him singing during the day the letter tunes. If you heard one leap frog tune well you know what they sound like ( A says A, A says A, every letter makes a sound, A says A). However, the visual cues that the video puts with the letters is awesome. When we read other letter books at night he feel he has to say the sounds from this video.
BONUS: the game on the DVD is so great. The child is asked to find the letter that makes a certain sound. If your child gets it wrong, it prompts again and if he/she gets it wrong again, it will show a little clip of the video as a visual reminder. he loves this game and is actually learning his letters.
I highly recommend this for any child.
Movie Review: Letter Factory is awesome!!

Leap Frog - Letter FactoryI bought this DVD to watch with my granddaughter. By 22 months she knew the letters of the alphabet and I thought this DVD might help to reinforce it in a fun way. It surpassed my expectations because now at 24 months my adorable granddaughter now knows the sound that each letter makes and can tell you words that start with each letter as well. She recognizes letters on boxes, cards, and signs and tries to sound out the letters. She also can tell you several words that start with each of the letters. She's just turned 2 at the end of December!! It's incredible. I have now ordered Talking Words Factory and am looking forward to watching it with her. (Check back for my review on Talking Words Factory too!) The video makes the way the letter produces the sound easy for a child to understand AND remember. It is a wonderful learning product presented in a fun and exciting way. (I'm a retired librarian and am always on the lookout for great learning materials.) I highly recommend this for as soon as your child shows an interest in learning ABCs.Movie Review: The Leap Frog DVD's are awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am extremely impressed with the whole series of Leap Frog DVD's. I especially like The Letter factory, word factory and Talking words factory 2. They are fun to watch and extremely educational! I have been amazed at how quickly my children have picked up their letter sounds. My six year old daughter was already reading, but after watching these movies she has improved a great deal. My four year old daughter started reading after viewing these movies for a couple weeks. My three year old daughter knows all her letter sounds. Just the other day she put some refrigerator magnets on our fridge and sounded them all out to make a word. My 20 month old son knows many of the letter sounds just by watching the Letter Factory. He points out letters in books and tells us the sounds they make. They all love the whole series and ask to watch them over and over and over again. I have never come across any other series that have caught my children's attention like this. They love the catchy songs. My six year old loves the talking words factory 2 that teaches about vowels and the long sounds vowels make. I would suggest these movies to anyone with preschool aged children.
