New LeapFrog Reading Products In Time For The Holidays

I have expressed how important reading is to our family several times in the past. We read regularly with our children and have many tools to help them learn how. LeapFrog has several new products that will promote learning in young children. They sent us the Tag™ Book: Learn to Write and Draw, Tag™ Junior Book Set: Ready to Read, and the Tag™ Junior Book Pal.

Tag™ Book: Learn to Write and Draw

Use your Tag™ Reader to bring writing skills to life! Learning how to write letters is linked to future literacy success. Using methods based on current research on effective handwriting instruction, this set reinforces the learning through fun audio feedback with the Tag™ Reader. As children follow the story of Dot and Dash--on a mission to find a band to play at the Doodleburg Fun Fair--they'll get step-by-step guidance in writing letters. Fun workbooks, activities and interactive stickers help reinforce writing skills. 8-piece set includes 1 hardcover activity book, 4 workbooks and 3 sheets of interactive stickers.

Evan turned 4 in August and has been learning how to write his letters. He knew how to write his own name, but that was about it. The story book allows him to use his Tag to follow the characters and complete the activities on each page.

After reading through the hardcover book, he can practice what he learned in the workbooks. The set also comes with 3 sheets of stickers that the Tag also recognizes, so the whole set is interactive and fun.

Tag™ Junior Book Pal

The Tag Junior Book Pal is easy for parents and children to use. Parents can download audio for up to five books to the Book Pal, then let their toddlers explore. Each Tag Junior board book introduces a different preschool skill - such as the alphabet, counting or social play - through 24 playful activities and more than 130 audio responses.* Open-ended questions and fun sound effects encourage children to take charge, as they touch any part of any page to bring words, pictures or activities to life. After their child has played, parents can connect the book pal to the online LeapFrog® Learning Path to see their child's progress and get printable activities to expand the learning!

It is never too early to start learning how to read!  Toddler's brains are like little sponges and they absorb more than you'd think.  The Tag Junior is designed for ages 1-4.  Leap Frog has a large selection of books that allow children to explore the page with their Tag Junior.  They can touch the words to hear them, or anything else on the page to hear sounds and interact with the pages.

Tag™ Junior Book Set: Ready to Read

Help little book explorers take the next steps toward reading! This Tag™ Junior book set includes seven board books that spring to life when you touch Tag Junior to any part of any page. Every book helps introduce early reading skills and short vowel sounds through engaging music and funny stories. Parents can connect to the online LeapFrog® Learning Path to see their child's progress and get printable activities to expand the learning! Appropriate for children ages 2 to 4 years.

At 2 years old, Isabella wants to learn right along with Evan.  This Tag Junior set of 7 board books allows my kids to use the Tag Junior Pal to learn early reading skills.  Before this set, I would have never thought to teach them short vowel sounds, but it is an important part of phonics.  The books are funny, so the kids don't even realize they are learning!
