Summary: An absolute MUST for parents and daycare providers
Comment: As a daycare provider, I have utilized these videos for several years and found that all children benefit greatly from them. All of the children have learned their phonics prior to completing letter name recognition due to the catchy song, and since I do quarterly assessments on these skills starting at 2, I have data to prove it. It really enhances what they are exposed to and learn through standard curriculum. Most of the parents end up buying them as well so that their children have something truly educational and worthwhile to view. I just asked my school-age son what the vowels are and he told me. I asked how he knew that, and he said it was from Letter Factory. He also learned silent e from it. Even though his teacher and I have gone over it before, he REMEMBERS it from the videos and songs. I have seen these DVD's listed on several pre-school and daycare MUST HAVE lists, and STRONGLY agree. There is no better out there, and through these, children simply absorb the knowledge through repetition. I also recommend Rock and Learn's Shapes, Colors and Numbers.

Summary: Amazing
Comment: At first I was sceptical, but my 4 year old son is absolutely in love with these videos. We watch them every evening before dinner. He has become infatuated with letters and reading as a direct result of these videos alone. In 3 months he has polished his knowledge of the letters, understands the difference between vowels and consonants, the function of both in words, knows exactly what sound each letter makes individually, knows what sound combinations of letters make (e.g. s+h), regularly experiments with his bathtub crayons, trying to write words, and is actively interested in asking about how words are formed. Some of these videos take a while before the 'real action' begins, but this builds up anticipation. They run 30 mins or so and therefore never become overwhelming. I wish the Math video was as effective as the letter/words combo; the visuals seem a little counterintuitive and do not clarify concepts adequately. Overall, combo is highly recommended.

Summary: Fun and effective!
Comment: We bought this for our 22 month old daughter on the recommendation of a friend of ours. She absolutely loves the Letter Factory DVD and would ask to watch it over and over. As a result, she can identify just about any letter we show her AND she can tell us what sound the letter makes. I was blown away! I'd highly recommend it!

Summary: Not too Young
Comment: I brought these for my kids when they were 18 months and 29 months. I played the first dvd for them and after 1 month, they knew the sounds of the letters and could find the letters if i asked them to find a letter. I would recomend leapfrog dvd's they are awsome.

Summary: Bought this for my grandson who is 18 mo old
Comment: My fault. My grandson is to young for these.
I had gotten rave reviews from one of my co-workers about these DVD's. Her daughters, age 3 & 5, love the Leapfrog DVD's. Her son, age 18 mo., mimics his sisters and sings along. I thought it would be a good idea for my grandson to 'hear' the DVD's - I knew he was too young. He ended up having no interest.
