Some kids are bound and determined to learn things all on their own, and the more they sense that you, their well-intentioned parents, are trying to teach them something as you chat, the more they resist. Got one of those? We're here to help. And frankly, even if you've got one of the more amenable kids on the block, sometimes we all have to turn to an outside source for either teaching or reinforcement. These two videos, sold separately or as part of a five-part set by LeapFrog and bundled by Amazon at a discount if you buy both together, are amazingly effective in teaching the hard part about letters - the sounds they make and how they fit together to make words. Again, LeapFrog works magically in this area. Give the kid a little time with the DVD - and we are the last people to be advocating tv as surrogate teacher or parent, but the fact is, sometimes things are taught really, really well by smart people behind a video - and you'll be astounded by how quickly they start to get the way this whole alphabet thing works. We can't make this stuff up: One of our associated little ones conquered the whole thing during a car trip with a DVD player, and another one was driving his parents a bit nuts when they were awakened at night by his muttering from the next room of various phonic noises as he taught his stuffed animals the way it all worked. We can't guarantee the same success for you, but we sure know where to tell you to start…. -- Review by Being Savvy
