Learn Phonics by Leap Frog DVDs

The goal of English education for my children is "enabling kids to read English picture books by themselves before entering Japanese elementary school". In this way, children will be able to increase their vocabulary through reading books, even if their time for studying English has diminished significantly after entering Japanese elementary school.

The Disney English System (DWE) did not have phonics, so I wanted to reinforce it with other materials.

Since phonics is likely to take time to understand, I decided to purchase Leapfrog's DVDs, which have a good reputation across English education weblogs. The content of each DVD is short, so I had to buy a few DVDs, but I think it would not be bad if children can enjoy phonics while watching animation.

Please note that LeapFrog's DVD cannot be played on a Japanese DVD player because the region is different from Japan. You need Region 1 or Region free DVD player to play these DVDs. I purchased a Region Free DVD player.
