MY REVIEW:

Today we had the joy of celebrating my son's 5th birthday with his school friends.  Mind you his birthday isn't until Tuesday and he made sure everyone knew it wasn't today!!

  So, I received this fantastic party kit.  My kit included to 2 LeapReaders, Learn to Write Letters With Mr. Pencil Writing Workbook, Talking Words Factory Writing Workbook, LeapFrog Disney-Pixar Monsters University 3D book, Get Ready for Kindergarten book, Talking Word Factory Flash Cards and 2 LeapReader Sampler books, among some grown-up paperwork.

 All of the children had such fun.  I must admit I have seen these "pens" in stores and been very skeptical, I mean really?! a pen that can read to you.  How is that even possible, how is technology getting so advanced that a pen can touch a piece of paper and tell you what's on it?  What's in the paper that can enable that to happen?  Well, I may never know, do any of you?  Not that it matters at all.  What matters is that my children and the other party guests loved reading with these LeapReaders, they had so much fun.  The Talking Word Factory Flash Cards seem to have been a favorite, although the kids didn't always match up the words that were associated with the picture on the card it was fine because the cards still let them know what words they were making.  I love this product.  I really think that this is a great learning tool for children just starting out and learning the sounds of the letters, those learning how to put the letters together to form words, those learning to read on their own.  Even my older two girls played with it after the party was over.  My 3 year old was playing with her LeapReader in the car and within half an hour she could perfectly recite the alphabet... no this doesn't work magic, she's been learning the alphabet for a long time now but not always getting them all in the right order. Now she can.  I'm so proud of her.  My eldest daughter (almost thirteen) says she wished she had this for all her books... she's a bookworm and loves to read, and I'm sure one day in the future they will!  But for now, for all those children just starting out or the ones who need a little extra reading fun, I suggest you go out and grab yourself a LeapReader, it's a fantastic learning aid, you will not be disappointed...at least I don't see how you could be, it's a wonderful tool!!

We give this product 12 out of 12 thumbs up!!
