The LeapFrog Tag Reading System is a fun way to engage kids in reading. The optical pen "reads" specially printed books, plays games and quizzes kids on story content. Many of your kids' favorite books are already available, including Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, Fancy Nancy and Miss Spider's Tea Party. There are other books with characters such as SpongeBob Square Pants, Disney Princesses and Kung Fu Panda. Lastly, there are other learning products like the National Geographic Kids Activity Cards that have animal pictures and facts. The Tag Reader is easy to use and fun for kids. It also connects to LeapFrog's Learning Path, so parents can see how their kids are progressing with the learning games and kids can earn special online rewards. There's even a headphone jack - great for car rides!
