Your child can also opt to hear the entire story as if listening to an audiobook. When they touch the book with the tip of the pen, it reads the stories out loud as they touch each word. You connect it to your computer to download the audio files for each book your child owns. It has a speaker and buttons for your child to operate it. The LeapReader is designed to look and work like a pen. It’s great for Curly because he’s now showing interest in all the above. It’s LeapFrog’s first reading and writing system of its kind for children (and a world first) and is designed to help children get started with their writing, reading and listening. In his case, Curly is learning faster because he’s learning through modelling.īut with the LeapReader, it’s helping him to improve but also control his listening as well as learn to read, write and draw.
LEAPREADER AUDIO COMPANION TV
I don’t believe that TV turns your brain to mushy peas. So him listening to real aussies is helping. My boy was growing up! Well, he did turn 6.Īnyway, the watching bit has been very useful because ever since, his communications level has improved and his pronounciation – from listening to real people talk – has gotten better. He started to switch the TV to ABC3 for 6 to 15 year-old kids when all these years he was only allowed to watch ‘the baby channel’ aka ABC4Kids for pre-schoolers. It came at the right time because Curly was starting to show more interest in reading, writing, listening, as well as watching programs with REAL PEOPLE – not cartoons, real people. Last year, just in time for Christmas and the school holidays, we received a gift in the mail for Curly, and we all fell in love with it. This review is brought to you by the clever people at LeapFrog.
