Well, by now you have probably seen the Leap Frog commercials on TV or played with them while visiting your local toy store. Leap Frog learning materials have been around for a while, but you have got to check out the new Tag Reading System. The Tag is large pen-like device that houses an incredibly small computer processor, a stereo audio system and a small infrared camera. The child holds the pen and taps icons, words, and images on specially created Tag books and the Tag reads words, sentences, pages, and sounds and music associated with the pictures. Leap Frog has partnered with book publishers to provide a growing selection of popular children’s books adapted for the Tag. Check out the activity boards, online tools that track the child’s progress, and try the demo at www.leapfrog.com/tag. Tag creates a fun and independent reading experience for children ages 4-8.
