DVD Reviews of LeapFrog: Talking Words Factory

DVD Review: Outstanding Phonics Video Series
Summary: 5 Stars

Let me begin by saying that I have all the old Leap Frog DVD's. I didn't purchase this for myself, since I figured that the same title meant the same video. I did purchase these for friends with preschool age children. As an early childhood and later an elementary school teacher, I have taught many children how to read. I have also seen many different videos, books, and other materials meant to aid children in the process that learning to read is. I have to admit that this video series is simply one of the best phonics learning aids I have encountered in all my years teaching. I recommend these to parents all the time. These videos are the very best products ever produced by LeapFrog, and that is saying something since many of their toys are good. The videos are 30 minutes long and targest basic phonics skills that children must master in order to learn how to read. The running time for these movies is perfect considering the attention span of the children it targets. The songs used are catchy, and the story lines are fun for most kids. The crowning jewels of the series are the first three phonics videos.

The Letter Factory teaches children the names and sounds of all the letters in the alphabet. The vowels are only given their short sounds at this point, but that is ok for this level of learning.

The Talking Words Factory teaches children how to put letters and their sounds together to make simple words, mostly with the consonant-vowel-consonant pattern and a few consonant blends.

The Word Caper movie goes on to introduce silent E, long vowel sounds, and vowel-vowel combinations.

The Math Circus video from this series is also good for children learning their numbers and basic addition/subtraction.

Are these videos enough to teach a child to read? No. Will they help a child learn concepts faster and easier? Yes. Is it a good resource for parents who want to help their children have a head start in their reading instruction or who want to help their children who are struggling with basic phonics? Definitely.

Learning phonics skills early and well is essential for pre-school and school age children. When a child struggles it must be addressed immediately, otherwise reading gets harder each grade level and students fall further behind until catching up is almost impossible. These videos help to set a good foundation for children. Watching the movies with their children and asking them questions based on the videos can also help parents know what their child should be learning and if they are struggling with these skills.

This video series is highly recommended.

PS REMEMBER - Look at the title of the movies before purchasing. This is the re-release of the older video series (You don't mess with a great thing!) If you have the older DVD's in good working order, then you don't need these titles. LeapFrog has released some newer videos which you might be interested in. None are better than these originals though and they do not target the same skills.
