Toys and Games Reviews of Phonics Radio
Customer Review: Great for take along!
Summary: 5 Stars
I like this toy, and my son does also. He takes his phonics radio along with him during our travels, like his little own brief case. It is loud when on the loudest setting I push it to the lower and it is fine. My son sings the songs on the radio and constantly loves to hear it say D.J. leap here, welcome to leapfrog which he repeats. It is excellent; plenty repetition which they need at this age, my son is 2.

this is wonderful to go with flash cards. I am preparing my son to go to school for september. now what i do and please let me know if i helped out or not. I take the letters on the first two pages left page and right. you might only want to take the first page. i take out only those flash cards to start slow, i incorporate this with the talking letter factory with leap frog as well as the phonics radio, we watch this during the morning. now the letters of the flash card that i take out are A,B,C,D,E,F. Now i don't spend more than 15-20 minutes on flash cards i go over them with him about three times or four times a day. I tell go over them with him, then when he tells me he wants to do his work he grabs the phonics radio and we start at that page, i pull out the flash cards and say find the letter A, he points to the letter A. if it is wrong i press the button and go that is the letter B, can you find the letter that looks like this one, this is the letter A. he finds it about 99 % of the time on the first try. then after i feel he has it, i press the middle button and it randomly selects a letter for him and boom he gets it. I incorporate the flash cards and this unit(and once every other day for the letter factory, this is only my fifth day with that video so that is just incorporated in my lessons) and it has only been 3.5 weeks we are doing letter recognition. My son now knows and this is after not knowing anything but the song abc's and counting, no recognition and no colors or shapes. 3.5 weeks he knows A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,J,M,O,R,W,Z. square, circle, triangle, oval, heart, star, and diamond. the color purple, and blue. Am I proud? of course I am. I use the shapes and color flash cards along with little touch leap pad shape and color lessons, and shape wooden puzzles. I don't run it in to his head all day, I go over it with him about 3-4 intervals of 10-15 minutes a day, he actually brings me things and say i want to read, and know he does not know how to read words but he reads letters. and for a child whom I have only been teaching for 3.5 weeks, he is doing great. his age is 2.6 years old.
