Leap Frog - Learn to Read at the Storybook Factory

I have long been a fan of the rest of the Leap Frog videos and products. The first 3 videos in the series Leap Frog - Letter FactoryLeap Frog - Talking Words FactoryLeap Frog - Talking Words Factory 2 - Code Word Caper helped my oldest son (now 8 and reading at the 9th grade level) learn to read in kindergarten. I picked this dvd up for my 3 1/2 year old who knows all of his letters and their sounds and could sound out simple 3 letter words without assistance after faithfully watching his brother's Leap Frog video series for the last 6 months. He loves his new Storybook Factory dvd. It is teaching him concepts of print like punctuation (commas mean a short pause etc...) and how to read more fluidly. Since we got the dvd he is now reading to me from his kindergarten level reader books Brand New Readers Red Set (Brand New Readers) The Learn to Read dvd also teaches the concept of taking your time to do a job right instead of rushing through it and making a mess of things. A wonderful product for anyone looking to give their preschooler a head start or help a struggling older reader.

THIS IS A GREAT ADDITION TO THE LETTER AND NUMBERS FACTORY SERIES. MY ALMOST 5 YEAR OLD HAS BEEN THROUGH ALL OF THE PREVIOUS EDITIONS AND HE LOVES THIS ONE. WE WATCH THEM ALL OF THE TIME. THANK YOU, LEAPFROG, FOR COMING OUT WITH THE NEXT LOGICAL EPISODE IN THE SERIES.

These leapfrog dvds have been a great asset in our educational dvd library. I love knowing that my kids are learning while being entertained. My three older kids ages 2, 3, & 5 really enjoy these.

This particular dvd seems less about learning to read than some of the previous titles,(it's basically enthusiasm about books in general) but who knows what information their sponges minds are absorbing?

EXCELLENT - has done a world of good for my autistic child

Like all Leapfrog DVD's it is straight to the point with a story that does not distract the reader from the task at hand: sounding out letters, blends, learning rules for reading, etc. This DVD is for a child who already is confident and fluent at reading short vowels and perhaps some long vowel words. It's advanced. If they were numbered in sequence, it should be:
1.Letter Factory
2.Talking Words Factory
3.Code Word Factory
4.Storybook Factory
