Leap into Reading with the Leap Frog Tag Junior Reading System

You have heard me sing the praises of the Tag Reading System and all it has to offer your child's literacy development however literacy skills should be developed at a very young age and the Tag may not suit the needs of a book exploring two, three, or even four year old. Educators and parents have known for decades the significance of early introduction to books and book publishers--who have been publishing children's literature since the 15th century--also know this to be significant and have created children's board books knowing little busy hands require graspable and durable tomes!

Leap Frog wants the exciting benefits and enjoyment of the Tag system to be available to these blossoming little readers and accordingly created the Tag Junior. Again my admiration for this company's forethought and consideration of the needs of children of various ages and skill levels must be duly noted. Leap Frog is a company which continues to evolve and improve on their ideas! As a parent and educator I respect their efforts Leap Frog expends to create Fun well thought out learning toys.

The Tag Junior is a durably constructed, "person" shaped unit developed to be easily grasped a toddler's hands which are not yet adept at fine motor movement. Unlike the Tag, Tag junior requires less exact movements on book pages. A toddler need only stamp the page with the Tag Junior for reading, songs, and other auditory surprises to be activated. The Tag Junior also corresponds with children's board books rather than traditional paper paged volumes which means you need not worry over drool soaked, torn pages, or paper cuts on precious toddler hands.

Just as the Tag Reading System, the Tag Junior connects to your computer via USB so you can add the audio for various books you purchase and to allow you to track your child's learning progress. Tag Junior can also be programed to greet your child with his/her own name!

The gift of reading is a gift that last for a lifetime and Leap Frog's Tag Junior is a wonderful tool to start any child on this magical literary journey!
