Animated characters act out the story \""Three little pigs\"" to help young children with reading, story structure, and story comprehension.
Genre: Children's Video
Rating: NR
Release Date: 20-SEP-2005
Media Type: DVD
Reading is simply putting words together to discover a story. When Mr. Websley glimpses Tad and his friends rehearsing "The Three Little Pigs," he reminisces about favorite childhood stories and is struck with an idea for a new invention--a talking storybook. Frog and Quigley are called to construct a new factory and Tad and his friends begin to rehearse in earnest since they're slated to be the stars of the book. Problem is, Tad has been cast as the narrator, but he doesn't know how to read. Professor Quigley and Leap reassure Tad that he already knows everything he needs to know to be a successful reader: he learned his letters and the sounds they make in the
Letter Factory and that sounds combine to make words in the
Talking Words Factory. All that's left is to combine the words to make a story. Tad learns some new tricks like "chunking" words together to sound like talking and that punctuation markings like commas and periods help with inflection. In no time, Tad is reading fluently and it looks like the talking storybook will be ready right on schedule. Viewers age 4 to 6 will develop their reading and comprehension skills right along with Tad thanks to on-screen highlighted text. DVD extras include a read-along storybook of a somewhat untraditional version of "The Three Little Pigs" that can be played with or without a voice track and five sing-along songs.

| If you don't mind your kids watching men dress like girls for theater then this may not be bad for you. I know that in the old days that is how they did things. I however, have two boys who I don't need to watch Mr Frog dress like a girl with lip stick and all. Also, they changed the characters voices. I am wondering if they were bought out and changed everything. |

| It's amazing how my daughter 30months is learning now with it. I bought together 3 of them: Letters, Words and Reading factory and since then it's a non stop, she keeps watching them from hours, days and weeks!!! She recognizes all the letters, the sounds moreover she recognizes the "sticky" vowels, which help the rest of the letters to make words. I consider them a pretty useful tool for her language and reading skills. For sure I will buy the next dvds (maths,etc) |

| My son loves this DVD. He is 3 and can only read certain words. But this video helped him understand how sentences, stories flow. Now, when we read a book together, he will say "that's a comma...that means to pause." He does the same with any punctuation now. I definitely recommend this DVD. |

| Not as great as the Word and Letter Factory but the song teaching Punctuation is definitely a great one. |
