I was sent a copy of one of Leap Frog’s newest learning DVD’s called Talking Words Factory. This DVD helps to make Reading Skills fun!
Product Information:
“Leap, Lily and Tad journey to the word factory where the Word Whammer, Sticky-Ick-O-Rama and more amazing machines take letters and make them into words. Humorous rhyming songs and an out of control word machine add to the fun.”
My girls really enjoyed the Talking Words Factory and my 4 year old was trying to sound out words like crazy after she watched it. It really did promote learning and made it fun. She loved how each letter was introduced in a fun way. She caught on really quick and as they began building more and more words, she was sounding out all the letters and figuring out the words herself!
She was fascinated with the vowels and asks me all the time if a letter is a vowel and if it’s going to stick the other letters together. She will pick a letter and sound it out and try to figure out what words begin with that letter. I had not heard her sounding out words like this before she saw the DVD.
My 2 year old didn’t get the same thing from the video as her sister but I know it will give her a jump start and before long she’ll be sounding out words too. I think she needs to watch it a few more times for that to happen, but it held her attention and she loved the songs and the charactors.
The best part of this DVD is that I enjoyed it too. It was fun going back to the beginning and re-learning with my kids. And the songs were pretty catchy, but they weren’t annoying like some other DVD’s.
