Toys and Games Reviews of LeapFrog WordLaunch Learn-to-Read-It System
Customer Review: Big Disappointment!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I have been SO pleased with all things Leap Frog until now. I have recommended and given the videos to friends. I credit Letter and Word Factory with teaching my kids to read, but this game is worthless. There is only one game for three letter words, one for four letter words and one for silent E words. But the games are slow and dull. If you put in three letters to make a word it takes at least 10 seconds for that word to "register". We tried "ay" (ray, hay, pay, say ...)words and the game eventually pronounced a couple of them but seemed not to recognize the others. If it takes 10 seconds and then doesn't even tell you what you spelled every time then what is the point. I tried to play it with 5 different kids and none of us thought it was any fun. This is the first item that I have ever returned to Amazon because of dissatisfaction.Customer Review: Great Educational Game

This was given to my 2 year old for her Christmas present. We figured she could use it with her older brothers since it is for 4 +.
She just loves it. She has learned a lot in just one day.
She is quickly picking up what the letters are. While watching I can see how it will help with phonological awareness. I wish I had it for my first two boys before entering school. They would have done a lot better on the testing for nonsensical words!
I'm glad they don't say it is not a word. There are plenty of Dr. Seuss books that don't have "words".
My kids all like it. It was well worth the money for a gift to my 2 year old. Better than other learning toys I've bought for her age range. I see it reinforcing letter sounds for my 1st grader. I can see that it would help kids score higher on the DIBELS.

I bought this for my age 6 son for his birthday. The first one we received was defective, as the sound directions were absent. Amazon replaced it right away - fantastic customer service. The new one works well. Both my son and daughter enjoy playing with it, and I am amazed how well it has helped my 4-year old daughter learn her alphabet letters. I agree with another reviewer that it would be helpful if the toy would tell the child when he/she has not actually spelled a word. In some of the activities I know my son has believed himself to have spelled a word, when it wasn't. The graphics could perhaps be a little more imaginative in some ways, but the kids like them, the toy has provided good practice, and I do think the "silent e" presentation is very memorable to little ones.Customer Review: F-U-N...F-O-R...K-I-D-S!

Okay, regarding Amazon.com, the product was immediately available and reasonably priced. The quality of the merchandise is above average, and falls in line with its advertising, so...kudos to Amazon! Now as far as the product itself, I have to admit that I agree with a couple of other reviews that I read. The music can be annoying because of it's sound level, but my son seemed to overcome it. I wish there were more sets of letters, even though an increase in the product cost would occur; it would be worth it. All that aside, my son loves using it! He enjoys being able to build a roller coaster park, and acquire golden coins, while figuring out three and four letter words. The unit hooks up easily to your television set, which is always a plus!Customer Review: Amazon- WOW!

OMG again Amazon rules! Okay so my newphew is three years old. He loves to watch television (who doesn't) so I taught what better way to make his christmas a wonderful one by combining something I would love for him which is enhancing his reading and spelling ability and television (an asset he enjoys). This gift was loved by all and I loved it as well not only is it a great way to bond with your kids, but as a college student I barely had money to satifsy my needs this CHRISTMAS! The price was great, my newphew loves his gift- and so did his Mother. My goal here were to combine television and reading together- hence this great product. Hence Amazon
