Leapfrog Tag Reading System Review

Remarkably, those who produce the Leapfrog Tag Reading System are able to claim that their learning aid has proven to be as popular with its young users as it is with their parents. Because the device arouses such joy and enthusiasm in those exploring new worlds through their reading, large numbers of children are discovering that reading isn't a grind or a chore - it's really fun!

Leapfrog have introduced an electronic learning aid - the Tag Reading System - which has been getting rave reviews from kids and parents alike - an unusual situation as it's not often that the little ones share their parents' enthusiasm for gadgets which are designed to "be good for them".

The Tag Reading system allows children to touch a word or phrase and get a response from the book. The touching device is in the shape of a pen and it elicits words, songs and various sound effects when applied to the surface of the page. Children love having this sense of power in being able to control their own learning experience.

Leapfrog have provided a library which to date includes over twenty books and games and the characters are taken from TV, movies, and even classic tales.

The activities have proven to help children expand reading and vocabulary skills, improve word recognition and comprehension of what is read, as well as build listening skills.

The involvement of the child in the story-telling allows them to set their own pace and they can follow the stories at a faster or slower rate, depending on what is comfortable for them.

It's also possible to connect to the online Leapfrog Learning Path and this enable parents to monitor what their child is learning and how they are progressing. This also makes it easier to plan the child's learning stages and reading choices according to the level of reading skill that has been achieved.

The device uses a little camera which is stored in the tip of the "pen" or reader. This identifies words and symbols which have been stored on specially printed paper. The children soon recognize that they have many options and and starting points for the stories. As well, if they stumble, there is an immediate and non-judgmental aid (the Tag Reader) to come to the rescue and help them get past the difficult bits. As result, their confidence in reading is greatly enhanced and they feel able to attempt books which previously they might have found too difficult.

A special selection of books has been assembled and prepared for the library. Naturally, these are compatible with the system and include much loved characters as Sponge Bob, Kung Fu Panda, and Square Pants. These help the children become involved with new stories. Leapfrog have also made arrangements with National Geographic Kids and the team effort has produced activity cards that depict different animals. The sounds produced by the Tag Reader bring the animals to life in a thrilling "as if you were there" experience.

This innovative system undoubtedly makes learning to read memorable as well as enjoyable. Also, the system has been designed to grow as the child's skills develop. The world of fact and fantasy which this opens up for young minds to explore is bound to endure long after the Reader is no longer needed.
