- Leap Frog's best idea yet!
- My nonverbal autistic son loves all things Leapfrog and loves story readers. Leapfrog has combined the best of two worlds with the story reader component along with interactive features. I was worried the tip would be delicate and he would break it but no problems so far. The download is very user friendly, the only drawback is only being able to load 5 products at a time so if you have more than that you have to delete and reload but this isn't a huge deal. The positive feedback for the game features is a very nice touch - not only praise for correct answers, but hints to encourage success and promote self esteem instead of "no, that's wrong" or some other negative statement like many toys. Would highly recommend this product for both fun and education.

- Love the Toy But did have problems with internet
- I bought this for my five year old daughter. She loves the toy! It reads the storys well and the games are fun. The only problem we have with it is when we downloaded the software from the internet the server was busy and kept cutting us off and starting over. There is a FAQ on there that has an alternative download if you are having problems. After we found this everything else worked flawlessly! I wish you could put more books on there!

- It does what is says...
- The LeapFrog® Tag Reading System does what it says, it gives your child a hand held tutor for reading a Tag book. The "read the entire page" function is helpful when the child does not want to read the book, but only hear the story. Initially I thought that this feature was defeating the purpose of getting my child to read the book, but I discovered later that it actually increased his enthusiasm to try to read it by himself. I did find though, that the word games provided the most interactive experience for him. He liked the story comprehension challenges that the game questions posed.
In short, he memorized all of the words of all the three books I bought him. At first I thought this practice defeated the purpose of teaching him how to decode words, but after placing him in a summer reading program, I was informed that word memorization was actually the preferred method of sentence decoding. After trying to explain the rules of phonics and vowel usage for words like "rough", "tough", "brought", "know" and "said"...I surrendered to the word memorization method. It seems to be working for him, but occasionally he does go back to word decoding by way of phonics. - 2008-08-09, 3 of 3 people found this review helpful, Rated:

- My Kids Love The Tag Reading System!
- I originally bought 1 pen and 1 book for my 5 year old daughter to try out. She loved it! Then, my 3 year old son started to play with it as well. Needless to say we now own 2 pens and 8 books. They are great for riding in cars or just sitting on the couch. The only downfall is that you can only store so many books on the pen at once. Other than that I am a very happy owner.
