LeapFrog Tag Reading System

LeapFrog Tag Reading System, the revolutionary touch reading system that brings reading to life like never before. Tag engages children to make reading a rich, fulfilling experience. Children simply touch the Tag Reader (which looks like an electronic pen) to the book’s pages, and words talk, characters sing and stories fly off the pages.

With a huge library of hardcover books and games including favorite TV, movie and classic tales, each Tag Book allows children to learn at their own pace, building their skills and their confidence. Plus, by connecting the Tag Reader to the online LeapFrog Learning Path, parents can see what their child is learning — and even receive recommendations on what books their child could read next!

Includes Tag Reader, plus the “Ozzie and Mack” Book; additional Tag Books sold separately. Tag Reader requires two “AAA” batteries, not included.

LeapFrog Tag Reading System Review

I bought the LeapFrog Tag Reading System and the Fancy Nancy book to go with it last winter for use in my first grade classroom. After teaching the class how it works, I set it out as a center/finished-work option. It’s great because it levels the field between struggling readers, who will have the story read to them while they follow along, and more advanced readers who read the story and use the pen for help with challenge words. There are a lot of sound-effects and surprises worked into the pictures, which are not just entertaining but increase comprehension and the ability to imagine/mentally experience what is going on in the book. It is always exciting to find something that children find to be fun and I know is helping them practice important skills. The one downside is that you have to use the internet to download the stories onto the pen and I’m unable to use the TAG software at school. I had no trouble acccessing it from home, though. Other than that minor issue, I highly recommend this system for kindergarten and first-grade children.
