Editorial Review:

Product Description:
An "A" in spelling may be the result, but fast action-fun with Turbo Twist Spelling is what it's all about. Learn more than 400 spelling words as you jam to a cool musical beat with this electronic spelling machine from LeapFrog. Eight easy-to-remember rappin' spelling rules include helpful hints such as "i before e." Adapts to your child's current ability, then challenges him or her to master the next level of learning. Features four zany games, including "Spell a Word" and "Find the Missing Letter" add to the fun. Requires 4 "AA" alkaline batteries (not included).

Plus, Turbo Twist Spelling can play special downloadable learning games from the Internet when you purchase the LeapFrog Mind Station (sold separately).

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Fun and "Must-Have" electronic toy for your curious child
This is the best Leapfrog toy for children who love reading and spelling. My 5 year old girl play with it everyday since she got it this Christmas. The toy helps my daughter learns spelling words, without having me involved (e.g immediately correcting her spelling when she made a mistake). She thinks the toy is FUN too...



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A winner at last
We have ben disappointed with all of our other Leapfrog products. They gather dust after the first day. This one has completely captured our five year old's imagination though. He takes it with him everywhere and ahppily practices his spelling words and the other games. He has ramped up the level on the hang-man type game to 36 becuase he like figuring out the long words.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Upset Mom
This is great product, however, in order to download spelling words you must order a subscription for $30/year. How hard would it be for them to include the software? I was disappointed because I want to use this for many years and think it's a bit ridiculous. I just wanted to warn everyone because this fact was not advertised on the Leap Frog website or any where else when I was researching this. I feel a bit ripped off!:)



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This is a toy I liked better than my child did!
I bought this to help my daughter practice her spelling words because I thought she would enjoy doing that better than having me call out her words daily. She didn't seem to enjoy it much, but it did help her to study when I was able to convince her to play with it. I bought the MindStation to be able to download spelling words. There have been occasions that some spelling words were not available to download. That is definitely a disadvantage, but I guess the computer can't "pronounce" a word ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great toy.. but hard to understand/frustraiting
My son does like this turbo twist spelling a lot. He is 6. Really the only problem I have with this is that occationally the words or letters or sounds they say are hard to understand. That makes my 6 yr old frustraighted because he KNOWS how to spell the word they ask you for, but neither one of us could understand what they were asking for exactly. So he would put the wrong one in. EX. The toy would give the hint that the letter makes a VVvvv sound... but we both hear Bbbbb sound. So he gets ... Read More
