LeapFrog Tag Reading System: fun, educational toy that really encourages independent reading!

The Tag Reading System by LeapFrog is an optical pen that can read aloud from specially designed story books. Touch the pen to any word in the book and it says the word out loud. It can read a page of the story, the entire story, or just one word at a time. The pen also interacts with pictures in the book and can be used to play simple reading comprehension games. This is the up-to-date version of those read-along records (or tapes) many adults remember from their own childhood (when you hear the beep, turn the page).

For example, with Activity Storybook Disney/Pixar Cars: Tractor Tipping you can use your LeapFrog Tag Reading System to bring this story about Lightning McQueen and Mater to life as they stir up trouble amongst the sleeping tractors.

Moreover, parents can connect the LeapFrog Tag Reading System online to collect fun rewards their child has earned and to see their child’s play and learning on the LeapFrog Learning Path!

Unique Learning Experience
Creating a flying UFO from “scratch” with rudimentary electronic pieces was highly satisfying to us, and we think Electronic Snap Circuits may well help young students gain and foster an appreciation for, and interest in, how electronics work and are built.

For students who are already learning about electronics in school, this set creates a hands-on experience that makes for more fun than reading about how these things work in a textbook.
So don’t be surprised if report cards come back with higher grades after playing with this toy.

The Snap Circuits SC-300 is available now for US $39.67 (You Save: $20.32 , -34% and free shipping too!)
