Product Description
Teaches young children about vowels, consonants, word building, rhyming, and vocabulary.
Amazon.com
Building words is an exciting and empowering experience for young children (and frogs) who have mastered individual letters and their sounds. When young Tad wants to nominate his Dad for a "Best Dad" contest he asks his brother Leap and sister Lily for some help filling out the application. The three young frogs go see Professor Quigley at their Father's Talking Word Factory for a little instruction and get to watch the "Sticky-ick-o-rama" and the "Word Whammer" machines at work. Tad quickly discovers that vowels act as the glue that sticks letters together and then learns to combine individual letter sounds to make three-letter words, use common ending sounds to create rhyming words, and blend letter sounds to make even longer rhyming words. Phonemic awareness, vocabulary building, and rhyming are entertaining and fun thanks to familiar Leap Pad characters, colorful animation, and short songs. An interactive word game challenges young viewers to fill in the missing first letter in a variety of three-letter words. This program is a great next step for graduates of Leap Frog: Talking Letters Factory and children ages 3 to 6. Tami Horiuchi

MY BABY (2 years old) CAN READ!!! August 28, 2010
E. Wooten
This product was great!!! My two year old watched it over and over again until he almost memorized the dvd. I bought some "sight word" cards thinking I could start going over them with him when he turns three. Well he found the cards, opened the pack, and started sounding out and reading them!!! (not all of them, but I was amazed to see him sound out words he never saw before!!!) I'm about to purchase the next dvd to keep him going!!
I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!! July 26, 2010

I have a 2year old with speech delay. I have tried so many different learning tools. I had problems finding learning aids that keep his attention and wanting to learn more. After my recent purchase of letter factory and talking words by leap frog I have seen a huge improvement in my childs vocab. He is sounding out words and saying letters. He loves the DVDs. I am definitly going to purchase the number and color dvd by leap frog. I recommend the entire serious of these dvds to any parent for their child.

This is a great way to introduce 3 letter words. My 2.5 yr. old has just started sounding out 3 letters. I use this combined with the "Your Baby can read". she likes this video but i think she likes Letter factory a little better.

I showed this video to my daughter after she quickly learned the letter sound by watching The Letter Factory. At 2 1/2 she enjoys watching the video and singing the songs. She was able to pick-up the "Letter Factory" in a week and I think that I expected too much from her at that time that she lose interest in watching this video.
She refused watch the video so I stopped showing it to her for a few months. I continued to show her the Letter factory and other educational videos. The game included on the video where she needs to pick the letter gets her interest back in when she was close to having her 3rd birthday. She now watches this video again and can now read 3 letter word by putting the letter sound together. The only problem was that all Leap Frog video examples are using Capital Letters. She have a letter mat that is all Capital, Blocks that is all Capital and I also write in All caps. So, when I write something, she can easily read the word by sounding all the letters out but then when my wife tries the same word with her she gets confused. This is where we noticed that most toddler toys that shows alphabet only uses capital letters. I guess we continue on what she already know and slowly introduce the lower case letters so she can start learning to read in both cases.
The word game is great! Like what I mentioned, this is what makes her watch the video again. She loves it especially when she gets a clap after choosing the right letter to form the word.
I'm also showing her the other videos such as Talking Words factory 2 - Code Word caper, Learn to Read story book and Math Circus when she request them but this time I will just let her enjoy those videos and not expect her to learn the content right away until she really master this video.
