Leap Frog Fridge Phonics Magnetic Letter Set: A Fun Way to Learn

Children love to learn when the learning is made fun and exciting. Leap Frog toys have long made learning fun for children of all ages. From infants to toddlers to young children, Leap Frog toys make learning letters, numbers, phonics, words, sounds, and phrases fun and exciting. The Leap Frog fridge phonics magnetic letter set makes it fun for young children to learn phonics.

What is it? The Leap Frog fridge phonics magnetic letter set is a small device that is magnetized and sticks to the refrigerator. It comes with 26 additional pieces that are individual letters of the alphabet. Each letter is programmed to interact with the main device when placed together. The letters of the Leap Frog magnet set are shaped like a puzzle piece that fits into the main device. When the letter is placed into the device it begins the fun of learning phonics through a series of letter sounds that fit the piece.

What will the Kids Learn? Many children have difficulty learning phonics and letter sounds. Although many kids find it simple to learn the initial sound of a letter, they often find it hard to incorporate additional sounds such as soft vowels and consonants. The Leap Frog fridge phonics set teaches children the long and soft sounds of each letter of the alphabet. For instance, the letter B would state that B says Bee and B says Bah. Two individual sounds for the same letter, just like the phonics in real world reading.

Learning phonics prepares children for advanced reading and writing. Without a good grasp of the phonetic sounds that each letter makes children are left confused later in life when they are learning more complex lessons such as how to read. With the Leap Frog fridge phonics set children are introduced to the many sounds that letters can make at a very early age (the set is geared for children 2 and up).

How does the Leap Frog fridge magnet set work? The Leap Frog fridge phonics set is all magnetized for use on the refrigerator. The pieces all fit into the main component like a small puzzle that is easy to put together. Each piece alerts the main base to sing a song related to the letter. For example, the song for the letter A goes something like this: A, A says Aay and A says Aah, Every letter makes a sound A says Aay and Aah. Each piece sings the same song with it's individual letter sound.

There is also a main button on the Leap Frog toy that makes the unit sing the entire alphabet song. It's truly an excellent learning innovation for young children. Not only does it teach phonetic sounds which many toys seem to forget, it makes it just so much fun for a little one. My daughters both absolutely love this toy and play with it all the time.

Plus for Parents: The Leap Frog phonics magnets give your child something to do in the kitchen. My daughter was always under my feet in the kitchen while I was trying to cook until I got her this toy. Now she spends most of the time playing on her own right in front of the fridge. It is so much easier to get around without a child under your feet...This Leap Frog toy is like the best of both worlds for children and busy Moms and Dads!
