Selected User Reviews For LeapFrog® Tag Reading System (16 MB)
I swear, I blew a bunch of money. ] as well as five or six books on the Tag Reading System. I made this decision based on Amazon's glowing reviews. com. In October of 2008, this occurred. September of 2009 has arrived. My children, who are now six and four years old, have paid very little attention to the Tag Reading System over the last year. Approximately five. It has been a huge letdown. br>br>The truth is, it's a fantastic product: you upload a bunch of books onto a green-screen device, and you've got yourself a great product. as well as a white pen Then you take the pen and go through a book, going over each word. You take the pen and place it on something in a picture, the pen makes a noise, or one of the characters speaks. The pen will read the entire story to you if you press a button. Great. It's brilliant. It's quite effective. Leapfrog deserves a pat on the back. My children, on the other hand, are completely uninterested in the Tag Reading System. Despite the fact that both of my children are intelligent, I have been unable to engage them in this product. Nobody touches anything that you cart out. When you try to use it with them, they prefer to play something else with you instead. br>br>I would wholeheartedly recommend this product and the accompanying books if they were a lot cheaper, but 50 big ones for the reader is a bit much to pay, especially when the books are only 12 to 15 smackers each. I mean, if you get it and your child uses it, that's great, but don't expect it to work every time. br>br>Purchase a book for your children.
I was initially skeptical, assuming that this would be yet another fad for our child who would quickly become bored with it. Granted, she doesn't play/use it every day, but she has used it frequently enough for us to purchase two additional books to accompany it. br>br>She genuinely enjoys using it. Despite her inability to read, she appears to be "getting it" more now that she's been using the Tag for a month and occasionally reading out a word she's come up with on her own. The best part is that once your child has grown bored with the "reading" part, they can move on to the interactive games that are built into the books. It introduces you to an entirely new world. The games ask you to "tag" things in the pictures that relate to the story to see if you understand what you're reading (listening to). br>br>I have yet to download the tag pen to my computer in order to track its progress. I believe it is still too early to see significant advancement. Besides, I can tell how far my daughter has progressed simply by spending time reading with her. If you don't have that much time with your child, I'm sure the online progress tracker would be useful. br>br>Even my two-year-old enjoys the tag! Even a book was purchased for her. She doesn't quite get it yet, but she understands that she can move the pen over different words and pictures to hear the word read aloud. It keeps her occupied for almost as long as our older child does. I would have gotten a Tag system for our oldest child much sooner if I had known about it.
Leapster products are a big hit with our family. The videos, Leapster games, and Tad and Lily dolls are all here. We held off on purchasing the Tag system for a while because it appeared to be too young for both our older child (age 6, who is already reading) and our younger child (age 4, who is not yet interested in reading). We eventually decided to buy one Tag system for them to share in the hopes that the Tag system would motivate the little guy to learn to read. br>br>The Tag books have been a hit with both of our kids. They're very interactive, with lots of pictures that'll 'talk' to you in a fun and animated way. The books even have a few simple games embedded in them. A phonics lesson is usually included at the end of most books. br>br>While the Tag books have been well received, they are not as popular as the Leapster games. Furthermore, I am not convinced that either child is learning much at this time. They aren't reading or listening to individual words with the Tag pen. Perhaps that will happen in the coming weeks. (It's been about two weeks since we've had the system. ) br>br>Fortunately, we haven't had any problems loading books into the pen due to technical issues. It took us about 5 to 10 minutes to complete the process. br>br>The T-shirt is a T-shirt with a T-shirt on the front and a T- The four-year-olds' favorite books are Rex and Ben 10. year- old boy. The Ben 10 book is reminiscent of a comic book. The majority of the other books we've purchased are in a more traditional format.
based on the opinion of a three-year-old. I bought this as a gift for my three-year-old niece, and I was worried that it would get lost among her many toys in the "boring, educational, stash-worthy" category. away- quickly- a set of options" This was especially true after reading reviews that suggested it would be better suited to older children. Wasn't I completely wrong? This was the Christmas season's smash hit. And, even after a few months, it's still my favorite toy! br>br>My niece refers to it as her PS3 (a portable computer game that she plays with her 9-year-old nephew). My nephew, who is a year old, plays with a lot of fervor). She pulls out her leapfrog tag every time he takes out his game. Despite her age, she was able to complete the first two levels of games on two of her favorite books that I gave her with it, and she is close to completing the third level now. (The books were as follows: .
