Reviews:
->Our kids love the books in this set! We're amazed at how the pen reads the book. We call it the magic pen. It really is pretty amazing. Our oldest loves pressing the pen to the words, story elements, and the games. Our youngest likes pressing the pen to the pictures and hearing what they have to say. It really is a fantastic idea and great for learning. Our oldest is already starting to recognize the words. I'm glad we have the set because if we had just one book, that's all we'd hear!
->I bought my daughter the tag reader (along with several books) for Christmas. She has been playing with it every day and has already shown improvement in recognizing her words and reading on her own! Believe it or not, it truly works! I am already looking forward to buying more books for her.
->My neighbor originally bought these for her son, who is 6. They were too beginner for him, so she handed them to us. My son loves them. They are very beginning words, The cat pulled a bat from the hat. The games are really neat in the back too. My son enjoys listening to the clues and finding the answers. He really has yet to pay attention to the words, but he's 3. We have time!
->I purchased this item for my Grand Daughter. She loves it! It has her enjoying learning and she picked up on how to use everything quickly. This is an amazing teaching tool. I recommend this product and this series of products.
->Another great buy from LeapFrog. It is a great educational tool and my grandson thinks it is a toy. I bought the book so it would make learning to read fun for him and it has.
->My 4 year old nice loves this and enjoys sitting by herself for a solid 30 minutes and playing with her tag reader. It really is teaching her the fundamentals of vowels which needs to be taught rather than "inherited" through oral expression.
->The stories are simple and my grandson makes us re read them. He is beginning to recognize words and we only got it for Christmas.
->I am an elementary school teacher. Even though my family has officially banned anymore educational toys from my children's playroom (instead insisting on some "regular" toys), I just couldn't help myself. I love LeapFrog® toys. I have had my eye on the Tag since my oldest son was 2½, but finally at 4½ I feel he is ready for it.
This set includes six books: Long A, Long I, Long O, Long U, Y as a vowel, and a Review book. They are different from regular Tag books in several ways. There are no licensed characters featured in the set (e.g. Dora, Diego, SpongeBob). They are also paperback books. The biggest difference though is the educational substance of this set. With regular Tag books, a child has the option to play games (book-wide or page-wide games), have the entire page read to them (like a Story Reader), to point to the individual word and have it read, or point to any graphic on the page and have it do something. While these books have all of that, this set is additionally designed for TEACHING phonics. Each book page has three modes the child can choose from: Say It (default), Sound It, and Spell It. I will describe each:
Say It - just like regular Tag books, you put the Tag pen on an individual word and it will say it.
Sound It - (or phonics mode) sounds out individual consonants, vowels, or special grouped combinations (like "ea", "ou", "kn", etc) which are too difficult to explain efficiently in this learning format. For example: while running the Tag pen across the name Lily, it would sound out, "Llllll - ih - lllll - eeeee, Lily." You will also hear things like, "this e is silent," and other phonics rules.
Spell It - self-explanatory
->I love the Tag system, and I think it is a great learning tool for our Kindergarten homeschool curriculum. My daughter is a bit of a grumpy reader unless you get her on a great day, so it is important for me to have a variety of items like workbooks, books, DVDs, games, etc. for her to propel through reading. She likes the TAG system, and it is a great tool, but until she gets through the frustration of learning to read using phonics and sounding out words, this will be a challenge. She wants to rush, but this system is not meant for that. It is a terrific tool, but your child will not read overnight and may not "love it" for what it is - it's not playing with Matchbox cars or a Leapster, it is reading, so be patient and use in only small doses until your child's reading really takes off.
->I have not reviewed all the books I bought, but the one that came with the pen reader is loved by my grandson, He is 4 yrs old and very interested in using the pen to read. Great product. And of course he loves the case for the books and pen storage.This is a necessity to keep up with the pen.
I recommend this complete set.
->My 3 year old Grandson loves this as it teaches him to recognize words and is helping him learn to read as well as being fun.
-> the books have allowed my daughter to excel in her reading skills in a very short space of time. I thereafter went on to buy the Long Vowels series and other Leapfrog Tag books and games. Excellent products for an enthusiastic child you loves learning. Would definitely recommend.
->This was a last-minute purchase that ended up being one of my three-year-old's favorite toys. It gets her really excited about reading and helps pass the time on days stuck inside. It's so easy to use - she doesn't even need my help. Great idea and well-executed.
->My grandson loves to be able to read with this toy. He is begining to say the words before he gets to them, even though he is only 3. Great choice!!!!
->We bought this for our 4 year old son (now 5) and just bought another for our 4 year old daughter. They both LOVE this toy. Take it and a few books on every car ride. Our son really learned words just using this system. He is a great little reader at 5. My wife is a 1st grade teacher and he knows more words than many 2nd graders. It isn't all due to tag, but it sure has helped to find a toy that combines the joy of reading with fun games. Our kids have just about every LeapFrog toy and they are all without exception the best in terms of fun, entertainment, and learning.
