How do leapfrog books work

Leap Frog Tag is an interactive learning tool meant to help children from ages 4 to 8 learn the fundamentals of reading. The Tag is an electronic stylus, designed to look like a pen, that children can use with books in the Tag system to hear words, sounds and phrases sounded out for them. Software also comes with the game, which parents can use to view what their child learned as he read the book.

Parents can also track the progress of a child's learning through the software. This game is especially suitable to children who are just beginning to learn the alphabet and starting to read. Children will hold the pen as they read through a Tag book, one that is designed to work with the pen. Inside of the pen is an infrared camera that can take up to 50 pictures per second and store 16MB of information.

The camera reads the series of dots that are printed in the book when the child touches down on part of the page. You can press down on characters to activate audio dialogue that comes from the pen between them. You can also touch letters to hear the sound of the letter, or words to hear a word pronounced.

Because children learn to read and write most effectively when practicing these skills together, LeapFrog developed the LeapReader system with integrated reading and writing fun. Now, children can practice not only sounding out letters and words, but they can also practice writing those letters and words using LeapReader.

As children gain reading confidence, they can also practice reading complex sentences and playing games included in LeapReader books, flash cards, and play sets.

It provides a magical way to learn how to write with interactive feedback! As children first trace letters and then practice writing on their own, LeapReader provides step-by-step audio instruction, so they learn to write letters and numbers the right way, with proper stroke order. LeapReader will even correct the child in an encouraging way until children master the activity. Listening is an important skill for building overall literacy—which is why LeapFrog created LeapReader with a built-in audio player.
