Toys and Games Reviews of LeapFrog WordLaunch Learn-to-Read-It System
Customer Review: One of the Best!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an AWESOME learning tool & my boys & I love it. The graphics & personalities of the letters are the best! They are very cute & memorable. (Examples: letter "m" holds a muffin & when it appears on the screen it goes, "mmm, mm!" Then it eats the muffin. Letter "a" looks around smiling and then makes startled/jump back look & screams, "ah!" Then it smiles again. My boys laugh at that. -very cute expressions & personalities for the letters & we really like the graphics.) Also, the gentleman/narrator's voice is easy on the ears & I think the sounds are enunciated well. I like how on the silent e show, when it's teaching kids silent e words, it will show a picture of the word. That way your child will not only learn how to spell those silent e words, but will also understand what they are! Example, "pine" ~after you build the word & it says it, it will show a pine tree. It also shows action words like "ride" (mouse riding on a dog) & "hide" (a dog hiding behind his dish.) And adjectives like "same" (rabbit & mouse wearing same shirts,)etc.
Great invention this toy is! It's an imaginative, helpful, & engaging learning tool! It's definitely a Leapfrog learning aid toy that we come to depend on! It is very entertaining, we use/play/learn with it at least once a day most days. Also, would like to add how sensitive Leapfrog was about screening words. Certain offensive words are not allowed... even on the screen. The machine will nicely tell the child to remove the letters. The machine will not only neither say the word nor individually pronounce the letters but will not even show the letters on the screen... very smart! :) Thank you, Leapfrog!!! P.S. My boys were laughing & playing with the Word Launch as I typed this review. And we've had it for about a month now. It's used alot!
*Kids can learn with the machine by choosing "games" & following instructions (good practice at following instructions & it's made to sound & be fun while doing it) or "explore" where they can make their own. When they make their own words, it will say the word if its on the word list or say "that's a nice word, etc." If it is not a word it will sound out the letters individually then make a cute animal sound or other sound that lets the children know it's not a word (just a sound but nice try!) It says things like, "that's a nice sound," or "that sounds good to me!" It encourages kids to explore with letters & sounds. My boys laugh when the machine makes one of the silly noises that lets them know it's not a word. Under the "games" part they can also play other types of fun learning games like: driving a bumper car forward & timing it to miss the other cars, or hitting the whammer button when they hear the music stop to get a coin, or when they see the target word on a whirly cup or bumper car, they hit the whammer button to get a coin, etc. (Lots of activities!) Target words are a great reiteration of the three words they just learned that round. (There are four different areas: magic silent e show, bumper ride, whirly cup, & roller coaster ride.) With the coins that they earn/win in the first three areas, they can buy parts to add to their roller coaster ride. Fun educational toy!
Description of LeapFrog WordLaunch Learn-to-Read-It System
Simply plug the Word Launch base into your television to begin this carnival-themed adventure. Children build 600+ three or four-letter words by placing combinations of the 32 included letter tiles into the Word Launch base and watch each letter and word spring to life on the television. Thirteen hands-on learning games help children progress through three learning levels. Children begin with sounding out letters and learning to build simple three letter CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words. Children then build four-letter words with beginning and ending consonant blends. In the advanced learning mode, children learn about long and short vowels and how vowel sounds change when a silent "e" is added to a word. Fun and games and rewards encourage children to learn as they build the ultimate roller coaster. Join the fun and launch your child on the path to reading! Introduces: phonics skills, word building, consonant blends, and short/long vowels. Requires 4 "AA" batteries (not included). Measures 7" x 10" x 2.5".What a fun way to read! The LeapFrog WordLaunch system combines tactile play with animated onscreen learning activities in an exciting, carnival-theme game. Recommended for ages four through eight, children build words with the included tiles then watch them come to life on screen.
