Great game, solid phonics review, everyone wins
By Mom of 5 boys
I bought this game for my 5 year old after he has played the Leapster Letter Factory and watched the dvd of the same name. His kindergarten teacher is going to purchase several for the classroom. She says he has an amazing and solid handle on phonics. This game could be a bit too easy for him, but he likes the quasi-competitiveness of it. The nice thing is, the game makes sure that every child wins. It keeps track of where each child should be on the board and it allows a couple of misses before it gives the answer. And though my son knows his phonics so well, the game allows him the opportunity to test his knowledge, he has to think about the answer. I think it is nice also, because a single child can play alone.

By K. Whitcomb
My 5 year old daughter received this game for Christmas. She loves it and so do I! Not only is she learning her letters and letter sounds, but it is so fun to play! I love that she doesn't have to read anything to know what to do or how to play. Whenever I have a gift to give someone in the 3-6 year old age range it's my favorite gift to give.

Not so great for every youngster!
By Mom of 2 boys
I bought this game for my boys after they already learned their letter sounds from the Letter Factory DVD (like everyone else, I HIGHLY recommend the DVD!)I've been disappointed because:1) Professor Quigley talks too much, and if several people are playing, it takes forever to get through everyone's turn! There's no way to skip Quigley's whole monologue with every letter. One active 5-yr. old boy thought it was "boring". His 3-yr. old brother played for a while, but also lost interest.2.) The harder level of play asks for matching letters to letter sounds (which my kids can do) and also asks "What letter comes before B?" (which my kids totally don't understand.) The easier level of play asks kids to get a certain color of card, and then move forward a certain number of spaces. Too easy for the 5-yr old, but it works well for my 2-yr. old if I help move the marker.3.) I lost a letter card from my set, and was thrilled when I called customer service and they offered to send a whole replacement set of cards! Several weeks later, I called back... found out the cards aren't in stock and they'll send them when available... I've been waiting THREE MONTHS now for a replacement set (although I'd be happy just to have the one missing card!)
