O is for Octopus

Go buy this DVD right now for your child. Do it, trust me. (Well, unless this is my mom and your kids already know the alphabet...but then you could buy it for your grandkids...)

Seriously for any with a kid age 2 or up, Leap Frog Letter Factory will teach them phonics. Nannette told me how great it was and let me borrow it. She said I would want to buy my own, it is like magic. Now after about 3 or 4 viewings, James came to me and said "O, like Octopus."

What??!!?

So I began to quiz him. He already knows the sounds of several letters...a, b, q, s, z are his most consistent. He asks me if he can watch this video. He loves it. I promise he would not love me grilling phonics sounds into him. It is magic. This combined with Teach Your Baby to Read and James will be a regular little Einstein.

I definitely agree. The kids I nanny-ed for last year had that game, and the two-year-old loved it. I'll have to remember it for Caleb when he's older.
