The LeapFrog Tag Reading System will change the way your kids experience reading. Combining fun, interactive activities with help for sounding out challenging words, this unique reading system will engage children in the reading process. Recommended for children ages four to eight, the Reading System uses the innovative Tag Reader to bring books to life. A simple touch to the Tag Activity Storybook will prompt the Tag Reader to speak words, ask questions, sing, and engage your child in over 17 learning activities. The Reading System has received over 28 awards in six countries!
- The Good: The interactive LeapFrog Tag Reading System engages children for hours of reading fun.
- The Challenging: We wish there was a protective covering for the optical reader tip to store when not in use.
- In a Nutshell: A creative, award-winning learning tool that can store audio for up to 10 interactive books.
- With just a touch, the Tag Reader will read, sing, and ask questions to your child.
- Kids can select from a growing library of interactive books and store them on the reader.
The durable Tag Reader is cleverly shaped like a pen, with the optical reader at the tip. It's easy for children to operate independently and the pen fits well into small fingers. The lightweight Reader has a built-in speaker in the front for clear sound with volume control buttons located below the speaker. The adjustable volume ranges from very soft to loud.
Your child can also use the Reader with headphones (not included). An adult can help pry open the flaps that hide the headphone plug and USB port. There's also a handy audio book feature -- perfect for traveling -- that plays aloud an entire story. The battery is securely placed behind a screw-locked compartment for safety.
Advice to parents: the optical reader is exposed at the tip of the Reader so be sure to keep liquids away from it.
Amazing Response with Every Touch
Your child will instantly gravitate to the entertaining, interactive way the Tag Reading System opens up the world of books. She can touch virtually anywhere on the special Tag Activity Storybook and the Reader will respond with music, sound effects, amusing phrases, and other fun activities related to the book. There are special symbols placed throughout the pages that cause the Reader to read the entire page, play a game, prompt children to answer "yes" or "no" questions, repeat a phrase, or simply stop the Reader from speaking.
When children want to read on their own but need just a little help, simply pointing to a word on the page will let them hear just that word. This feature is perfect for children that are just developing their reading skills but get frustrated when faced with a challenging word. The Reading System will help them gain confidence and enjoy reading. Each TAG Storybook features games and activities that will help develop age-appropriate skills such as building vocabulary, reading comprehension, and other core reading skills.
Store up to 10 Books
The sample full-size book comes conveniently pre-loaded onto the Tag Reader. Additionally, 10 books can be loaded onto the Reader giving children the opportunity to switch back and forth between different books with ease. The Tag Reading system comes with a LeapFrog Connect CD and the Reader can easily connect to a computer with the USB cable (included).
There are currently over 30 books in the Tag Reading System library and it will continue to grow as LeapFrog constantly adds new books. Books range from classic children's books to contemporary, cartoon-based adventures, so there's something for every child. They also range in varying reading and skill levels allowing parents to tailor the books to their child's individual needs.
Reviews:
->We bought the Tag for our four-year-old's birthday, and she loves it! Her attention span for any kind of toy isn't the longest, but she has no trouble "reading" the story to herself with the Tag "pen." (And for those who are wondering, she still wants us to read to her at bedtime.) It remains to be seen whether the Tag can help her learn to sight read earlier than usual, but for now keeping her interested in books and interacting with them on her own, is enough for me.
->The TAG was very helpful for my girls as they began to read stories and recognize words by sight. Leapfrog has an extensive library of books, so there's lots of variety to choose from, with characters the kids recognize (Dora, Diego, Spongebob, etc), as well as kid's classics like "Cat In The Hat" and "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom".
I also appreciate that there are many "levels" of exploration with this toy. The child can use the pen alone, and listen to all of the audio for all stories downloaded to the pen just by pressing a button. The TAG will cycle through all of the stories. The books themselves are also multi-dimensional: You can just read the story, or you can play the games embedded in the books and earn rewards on the Leap Path website. My girls also like to explore the books, and place the pen on the pictures of the characters themselves - Leapfrog has embedded some cute dialog as well. For instance, when reading the Spongebob book, if you place your pen on Spongebob's face, he'll say something funny related to the story.
The LeapPath website allows parents to drill down into each book the child has read, total minutes the child spent exploring the story, and cool info on what skills the child is building.
->My daughter has been using the Tag Reader (normal, not jr) since Christmas 2008, 3 months before her 3rd birthday. She LOVES it!! I prefer to keep computer games out of her hands, so this is a great alternative! This interactive book helps teach kids how to read and recognize words. They can use it anytime & anywhere---excellent for travel! I'm glad they came out with the higher-capacity reader. All kids should have a Tag Reader :-)
->One of the best investments we have made all year, LeapFrog's Tag Reading System is an Anya Favorite.
A little on the pricey side, but well worth it. Your little one will have a blast touching the pages with his/her Tag and hearing the story played through the pen. There are also a ton of other tid-bits buried in these books: games, reading assistants, the actual character voices.
->My 2.5 & 4 year old got these for Christmas. They started wanting to read more and more and the book really helps. The two year old took a little time to get it, but he has caught on. Many of the books have the nice game features at the end that add to reading comprehension, but don't involve having to read the story. They make the same books entertaining over and over again.
->I have two boys, ages 3 1/2 and just turned 6, and they got two Tag systems for Christmas. We also got them some additional books, and they received more books from relatives. Currently they have the Cat in the Hat that came with it, Star Wars, T-Rex's Mighty Roar, Bakugan, Up, and Cars' Tractor Tipping.
We have the old leap pad - it was handed down to us - but it's not as easy to use, it requires a child to sit at a table to use it, and you have to have the cartridge in just right for it to work. This is so much better and more portable. We gave the boys sets of headphones for the car, and they take it with them everywhere. Since Christmas I doubt a day has gone by where they are not "reading" one of the books. My 3 year old needed no instruction, just figured it out. He loves T-Rex's Mighty Roar in particular, and though I got Bakugan for his older brother, he "reads" it too. He's memorized nearly all of the books.
It only takes 2 AA batteries, works very well. We keep the whole system plus the two pens in a small backpack to keep it neat.
We don't allow our kids to play video games or go on the computer so this was a big deal for us - we didn't want a toy where they are getting a lot of screen time or zoning out. This is truly an educational toy that they love and learn from.
->This is by far the greatest thing I have ever received for my son. I love it! It has opened his eyes and mind to learning. He has letter recognition down, but actually putting the letters together and making words was our next step. This was a surprise present, and one I now recommend and buy for others! I was a little hesistant with the tip, but it seams to hold up to my son's roughness.
->I was a little skeptical of this when my husband bought it for our 5 year old for Christmas 2009. But wow...I'm converted. Our son is in kindergarten and learning to read, and this is really motivating him. I often find him and his 3-year old brother in their room reading books together (we have Ben 10, Spongebob, Scooby Doo and Dr Seuss). It really is great. He often has it on the mode where he is "reading" the book (repeating after the voice). I have had other products, and the kids seem to loose interest pretty fast or can't hear it or something. This, however, so far has been a great buy. I love that they are learning the joy of reading. I highly recommend it.
->This product is VERY educational and I think my daughter will continue to use it for years to come. It is also great for long car rides, which we take on a regular basis. It is also very durable - The "pen" has been dropped many times in the car and there are no signs of wear or tear.
->This is an awesome toy for children who are interested in reading with someone or on their own. Each page allows you to touch each word allowing for word recognition or you may touch the icon and it will read the entire page. Also each page has a game that may be played as well. My 3 year old loves to sit and read and play on her own as well as sit with us and show us all the fun stuff.
->I bought this for my 5 year old daughter for Christmas 2009 and she can't get enough of it. She can literally spend hours sitting in her room listening to every single sound on every single page. And she enjoys playing the games over and over again. She also likes to touch each word individually and hear how they are pronounced, so I think this is a great learning tool.
We used to have the old leap frog system with the crappy paper spiral books. These are so much better. You get actual hardback books. So even if you don't use the leapfrog pen, you still have a nice book to put on your shelf. And there are some good books in the series, including two Dr. Seuss classics.
->This toy is amazing! My 6 year old daughter spends a lot of time playing with her tag,and she is also learning at the same time.She has even read some of the pages to me,word for word.She has only had it for 5 days,and im not sure if she has honestly learned the words or just memorized how the story goes.But either way,im very satisfied with this product.Every single thing on the pages interacts with your child in some way.It is also nice that you can go online and track what they are learning.
->We bought 2 of these, one for my 4 year old and one for my 6 year old. They love them and they have been a great purchase for Christmas. They have played the longest with these than any other toy we've bought in the past. I like them also and are fun to bring the book alive.
->I am so excited about this purchase, my 2.5 year old grandson enjoys the stories and using the tag pen. I can see the successful potential of learning to read.
->I am such a fan of Leap Frog, and this system does not disappoint. We've been using it for about three months now, and my kids absolutely love it. It makes each book come alive, and has helped to make learning to read fun. We started out just using this on car trips, but it soon became a daily favorite in our house.
It is so easy to use! My 2-year old can actually handle it quite well, especially after watching her older brother with his. It's easy to grip and navigate around the pages. Each page also has several modes - you can read specific words, an entire phrase, or press specific objects in the book for sound effects. The library of 30+ books that go with this system is also nice - we have six of the books so far, and after three months my kids are still actively participating in reading each one. The best part about this specific Tag is the increased memory, which is a big plus as your child accumulates more than five books.
->We purchased the Leapfrog Tag reading system for our 5 year old in the summer of 2009. It's now Christmas and the first thing on her wish list is more Tag books!
My daughter loves to take the pen and books in the car on roadtrips and often sits on her bed and entertains herself by "reading" to the pets. The fact that the books do more than read to her is wonderful, she enjoys the sounds that each picture makes, loves the games that nearly every page offers and is learning easy reader skills that keep her wanting more. She even asked me to chart her progress on the Parent page on the computer so she can see how she is progressing!
We love this system and will buy it for other young readers as gifts. Not alot of parts, not loud and annoying, not a hassle to deal with, but fun, educational and leaves the kids wanting more. What more could one ask for!!!
