Whatʼs a Word Whammer?
Itʼs a machine that teaches all about letter names, letter sounds, and how letter sounds blend together to make words! WORD WHAMMER™ FRIDGE PHONICS™ Set allows you to create over 325 three-letter words, using magnetic letters that sing and teach! These interactive, magnetic letters are based on LeapFrogʼs TALKING WORDS FACTORY™ video.

3 Ways to Play!

Letter Hunt– Learn letter names and sounds through fun songs! Put a letter in the spot with the blinking red light.
Word Builder– Explore letter combinations and create over 325 words! Place any 3 letters in the magnetic reader to see if youʼve spelled a word! Tadʼs 10 special words (bug, cat, dad, dog, hen, mom, pig, pop, tad, ten) will trigger a special response!
Word Hunt – Spell three-letter words, then replace letters to make rhyming words! The WORD WHAMMER™ FRIDGE PHONICS™ Set will say a word and guide your child, letter by letter, to spell the word. Then, itʼs time to make a rhyme! When you build a word that has related rhyming words, the WORD WHAMMER™ FRIDGE PHONICS™ Set will prompt you to change the starting letter to make a rhyming word!

Parent Alert: To protect sensitive ears, certain letter combinations that might be perceived as foul language will not be sounded out. The WORD WHAMMER™ FRIDGE PHONICS™ Set will only pronounce letter names for such combinations.
