I would occasionally put this on before nap time, and by 18 months my son could recognize all of his letters (capital ones), and tell you what sound they made. He just about gave his Grandma a heart attack when she was walking him to the park & he said "s" "t" "o" "p"
Love the Letter Factory
So we rented this DVD from the library, and have had it over due for a month now because my 3 year old son loves it so much. he walks around singing the songs that he has learned about the sounds that each letter makes. He is recogizing and reading out letters that he sees in his enviroment, such S-T-O-P and I take those opportunities to teach him to put all the sounds together to read the word. I would definately recommend this video!
This is a great DVD - a must have!!!
My daugther (3 yrs old) can't get enough of it. We watch it everyday, and she loves to sing along with the letters. A real gem!
Best new phonics movie out there
For parents trying to find a new and different way to teach letter recognition and sounds letters make, this is for you! In one or two viewings my daughter went Leaps (sorry about the pun!) and bounds ahead in her learning and understanding of the Alphabet. If your Child loves to watch TV I am sure this would be a useful tool for you. My daughter loves to sing the little song for the letters everywhere we go and that to me is important as it shows me her understanding is visable away from the TV. Great Movie Hopefully Leapfrog will continue to produce lots more of this quality. Definitly go buy it.
Best video for toddlers ever
This is my daughter's favourite video - it is sooo positive. Funny to see that a cup of tea needs salt and not sugar (but of course trying to avoid sugar in kids diets). Wish that more videos were as positive as this could be produced - leaves the quality of many, many others behind.
Future videos will hopefully show a girl such as Lily as a featured person. PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THESE POSITIVE AND EDUCTIONAL VIDEOS/DVDs FOR TODDLERS - THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH OF THEM
