Review of LeapFrog: Word Whammer Fridge Phonics

A NOTE ON COMPATIBILITY:

When my little girls started walking around, I purchased the Leapfrog alphabet for my fridge that she could learn her letters.As our little girl got older she started being able to tell between lower case and uppper case letters so we got her a lower case set.

A short couple of years later my little girl was spelling small three letter words so we picked up a three letter word speller from Leapfrog at a local large discount store.To our shock the letters from our original leapfrog set did not fit into the new set....not very smart on the part of leapfrog unless they want me to pay two or three times for letters.

So we did some digging on Amazon and found this set which uses the standard size letters from leapfrog so we don't have to go buy a whole other set of letters.

So I guess what I'm saying is CAUTION, leapfrog sells several sets of alphabets and spellers and sometimes the letters are not interchangeable.

REGARDING THIS PLAYER

It does what its intended to do.It has a couple of modes one for spelling and one for word games where it prompts the child to enter letters to form a word.Overall, my kid doesn't sit for hours in front of the fridge playing this game but every once in a while she'll stop there and play for a while.

If you have an old set, make sure you get the compatible player so you can reuse your words.
