Jet doesn't speak loud or clear
By triplee48212 from Fraser, MI on 8/1/2009
Pros:
Interactive
Cons:
Heavy, Poor Design
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about LeapFrog Word Whammer Fridge Phonics:

I forgot to add the volume and clearity of the Jet is horrible too. You can not clearly understand the sound of each letter or sometimes the sound of the entire word seems garbled.

Comments about LeapFrog Word Whammer Fridge Phonics:

Wish I could have bought one of the old word whammers - Cause the new JET Wordwammer is not as good as the orginal. As stated below... 1)THEY CHANGED THE LETTER SIZE (Can't use your old letters with this) 2)IT WON'T STAY UP ON ANY APPLIANCE (Too heavy) 3)IT BURNS THROUGH BATTERIES 4)THE AIRPLANE "VRRROOOM" SCARES MY SON (He wants leap back...not a plane.) My son still plays with his orginal single capital letter one at the age of 3 years old...NEVER DOES HE TOUCH THE JET AND KEEPS TRYING TO THROW AWAY THE LOWER CASE LETTERS OUT OF FRUSTRATION. THE JET WAS A BAD PURCHASE AND WASTE OF MONEY IN OUR HOUSE. I guess because of the basic principle of what the toy is designed to do I would recommend, but with the above precausions.

Comments about LeapFrog Word Whammer Fridge Phonics:

The LeapFrog Word Whammer is a wonderful tool for tots of various ages. Elementally, each letter has a basic phonetic sound effect, but this allows the babies in the bunch to explore as well. The progression (Stage/Level Two) is to create three-letter words out of those individual letters. Finally, the culminating activity (Stage/Level Three) is to hear a word spoken & to assemble the letters in order to spell it. Also, there are delightful auditory effects & rhymes to help your child familiarize himself/herself with the letter shapes, sounds, common words that begin with each, etc. It's a toy that will grow with your child, so it will not be readily dismissed. It is absolutely worth purchasing the Word Whammer, & the hours you will spend with your child, helping him/her learn would be, in my opinion, time well spent.

Comments about LeapFrog Word Whammer Fridge Phonics:

Love this toy! My 4 year old will play with it for an hour at a time and then repeat to us what words he's spelled throughout the day! It's definitely loud enough ... maybe too loud! Ours has never mixed up letters. I was going online right now to buy it for a friend's son's 4th birthday.

Comments about LeapFrog Word Whammer Fridge Phonics:

The toy is nice, but my daughter has not got the whole concept of it yet. THe voice on it is very low so you really can't hear what they are saying.

Doesn't work with OLD Fridge Phonics
By Mom of 3 from Sandy Hook, CT on 1/1/2009
Pros:
Educational, Engaging, Interactive, Lots of Fun
Cons:
Poor Design
Describe Yourself:
Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about LeapFrog Word Whammer Fridge Phonics:

This is a great toy, BUT I bought it thinking my 3 and 5 year olds could use the other fridge phonics letters in it too, but they are a different size! They had an old version (word hammer) that used to fit both sets, but this one doesn't. Why would you change the size??!! Now we have all different size letters on our fridge and it gets confusing over what ones go in what. A BIG pain and BIG booboo from Leapster...
