Tracy's Favorite Things

With the school year starting, I decided that my next favorite thing should be related to learning.

I think that EVERY kid needs to have "The Letter Factory" DVD (By Leapfrog) before they start school! No child should go to school without seeing this DVD about 100 times! It teaches letter names and sounds and does it in a cute way.

They have recently changed the DVD cover, but the actual movie is still the same. Below is the old and new covers so you can look for them!





I used this DVD in my Kindergarten classroom for the past 2 years and it made such a difference for students struggling students who had a difficult time learning their letter names and sounds. I kept wishing their parents had shown them this when they were 3 or 4!

I bought mine at Target for $9.99. I have recently seen it at Costco a few times for only $5.99! Leapfrog also makes DVDs that help with numbers and sounding out words.

I have already given this DVD to a friend's son as part of his birthday gift and I am planning on giving this to all of my friends' kids for their birthdays!!
