LeapReader Junior
A love of books starts long before children can read, and its benefits can last a lifetime. Using the same touch technology as the LeapReader™ Reading System, the LeapReader™ Junior book pal is designed to encourage toddlers' natural desire to explore.
Parents can download audio for up to five books (sold separately) for the book pal, and each LeapReader Junior board book introduces reading basics or different preschool skills—such as letters, numbers and early vocabulary—through 24 playful activities and more than 150 audio responses.
Open-ended questions and fun sound effects encourage children to take charge, as they touch any part of any page to bring words, pictures or activities to life. And the book pal can learn a child’s name to make getting ready to read a personal experience!
After their child has played, parents can connect the book pal to the free, online LeapFrog® Learning Path to see their child’s progress and get printable activities to expand the learning fun!
What comes in the box: LeapReader Junior book pal, sampler board book (audio pre-loaded on book pal); USB cable; user guide. Requires 2 AAA batteries (not included). Internet connection is required to download additional book audio.
An amazing library awaits! Each LeapReader Junior board book is part of the Get Ready to Read series, designed to help toddlers explore books and build confidence as they begin their reading journey with the LeapReader Learn to Read System. The full LeapReader Learn to Read System library features more than 80 interactive books, puzzles, maps and more (sold separately).
- Listening and Reading Comprehension
- As children develop comprehension of books read aloud or independently, they explore the uses and functions of written language. They begin to construct meaning, eventually applying critical skills to make inferences and draw conclusions.
- Vocabulary
- The larger their vocabulary, the easier it is for children to comprehend what they read and hear and communicate with others.
- Book and Print Basics
- A child's early experiences with books greatly influence his ability to learn to read. Reading together helps a child learn how to turn pages one at a time and that text moves from left to right. Advanced readers learn how to use books for research.
