Product Description
Simply plug the Word Launch base into your television to begin this carnival-themed adventure. Children build 600+ three or four-letter words by placing combinations of the 32 included letter tiles into the Word Launch base and watch each letter and word spring to life on the television. Thirteen hands-on learning games help children progress through three learning levels. Children begin with sounding out letters and learning to build simple three letter CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words. Children then build four-letter words with beginning and ending consonant blends. In the advanced learning mode, children learn about long and short vowels and how vowel sounds change when a silent "e" is added to a word. Fun and games and rewards encourage children to learn as they build the ultimate roller coaster. Join the fun and launch your child on the path to reading! Introduces: phonics skills, word building, consonant blends, and short/long vowels. Requires 4 "AA" batteries (not included). Measures 7" x 10" x 2.5".

2 out of 5 stars Boring!!!!!!   August 31, 2008
It's a cheap version of the word whammer. My four year old son loves the word whammer, but is bored with this product. He uses the word whammer for about an hour daily. I can't get him to sit for 30 seconds with this product.


4 out of 5 stars Great   July 25, 2008
This is a great tool for kids to learn off of. I to expected more from leapfrog, with the sound. But kids can learn off it and that is what it is for.


1 out of 5 stars Terrible Graphics   July 15, 2008
I can't believe more people haven't commented on the awful graphics. They are fine on up to a 19" tv, but anything over that, they are just blown up and extremely grainy. It's so terrible on our 50" plasma that it can't even be played. Don't buy if you have only tv's larger than 25" or so.


4 out of 5 stars lots of fun   February 8, 2008
I have purchased this game for my home daycare. The kids love it and don't even realize they are learning! They are just having fun slamming the whammy!It is also easier because they can learn at their own level and it advances based upon the words they have learned/ recognized so far.

There are 2 things that I don't like about it: 1 is there is sometimes a noise that comes from the tv during certain gameplay, and there is no place to put the letter tray (rather large) for the kids to be able to play and easily reach all the tiles.



4 out of 5 stars Just a little messy!   January 23, 2008
This is a great game for those of you who have kids learning to read. It does have letter blocks, so it tends to be a little messy. However it has helped my 6 yr old with reading a lot!!!
