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.

FABULOUS DVD…
I bought this for my 3 yr old son. He is already spelling words thanks to this great video. Leap Frog know how to get kids attention.

Happy!
I really like this video. My son knew the vowels after the second time he watched it. He loves the songs and the game, and is sounding out the words well.

Great
Once they have the alphabet down they are ready to make words. This movie teaches them how to sound them out.

EXCELLENT for helping children learn to read!
I bought the first video of this series where they teach the sounds that the letters make (I recommend that you purchase that one first or in addition to this video).

Good product as a followup to the letter sound dvd. Not quite as interesting for my grandchild but I think that is a developmental thing.

Stick with it!
I purchased this after reading the great reviews on Amazon. My daughter was 21 months old and starting to talk more so I thought this might be an entertaining way to learn.

Good
My son (almost 3 yrs) likes this DVD. After watching parts of it a couple times, he was making the letter sounds with them. It seems to hold his attention.

Major Progress in Two Weeks
This product is one of the best purchases that I have made for my 3 year-old daughter. Before I purchased Letter Factory, my daughter was struggling with her alphabet.

Phonics
My son loves this video he’s watch it over and over. He now spell and say the words before the character in the video do.
