confusing labeling by Leap Frog,
Apparently the Leap Frog company keeps changing the titles of their products. This lead me to some confusion about which products to buy. Sometimes both old and new are still on the marketplace, I guess until they sell out. The content of this book was previously published under the title “Kindergarten–Learning Letters and Sounds”.
This product, if you look at the larger image, is confusing in that it states “Leap Pad Phonics Program Activity Book–more practice for lesson 1–I know my letters and letter sounds”. First off, apparently at first there was something called “Leap 1–Phonics” but they did away with the “Leap 1″ phonics line and renamed it “LeapPad Phonics Program”. Second, …, there is no longer a “lesson 1″ so this title confused me, in that it says “more practice for lesson 1″.
The manufacturer also does not do a good job of providing descriptions for their products, even on their own website. It was unclear to me if we must buy each of the “phonics books” of which there are 10, then the 4 “activity books”. Fortunately at the back of this book there is a better guidebook than is available on the Leap Frog website. In the end it is apparent that to cover all the phonics lessons and have readers to coorespond we must buy all 10 readers. For more fun practice we must buy the 4 activity books. Yikes, that adds up to a big expense.
Here is the breakdown as provided inside this book:
a. Phonics Activity book 1 is to be used with Phonics lesson 1 “alphabet adventures”. Phonics activity book 2 is to be used with readers: 2-Tad’s Good Night, 3-A Day at Moss…and 4-The Day Leap Ate Olives. Phonics activity book 3 is to be used with reader #5-Lost and found. Phonics activity book 4 is to be used with reader books: 6- cake and mice cream, 7-mole’s huge nose, and 8-Rainy Day Play. Lesson 9-A Bark in the Dark and Lesson 10-A Fisherman’s Tale stand on their own as “more phonics fun”.
… Page 2 of the book gives the parent an overview of the ontents which is very detailed and excellent. (Unfortunately this is unavailable for browing online or at the store, you must buy it and cut the plastic wrap to read this.) This book covers letter recognition for all 26 letters in the upper case and lower case format. There are games and activities to learn with, this is not a story book reader. There is an activity to match the lower case with the upper case of It covers consonent sounds and the short form of the vowel sounds. For long vowel sounds you must buy a different book in the series.

|Make learning to read, fun.,
This book is just another example of the quality educational learning tools that LeapPad have learned to expect. This book has so many different ways to learn with games. Just touch a word to hear it sounded out and you can hear letter sounds as well. My daughter repeats every sound as she decides which letter she wants to hear next. It’s wonderful to watch a child be able to enjoy learning all on her own.

|Boring, boring, boring.,
My son loves his Leap Pad and we have bought some really good books for it, unfortunately this is not one of them. This activity book is not fun at all, and it is hardcore learning there is nothing engaging about this book. Usually my son will sit and go through a whole book, but with this one, the few times he has chosen it he has only done a page at a time. Your kids will learn from this book, but it will take a lot of time because there is nothing really to engage them.
