LeapReader Junior
Get set for preschool! Between the ages of three and five, children acquire the skills necessary for school. This bundle helps toddlers explore books and build confidence as they begin their reading journey toward academic success.
Includes LeapReader™ Junior Violet book pal, LeapReader Junior Ready to Read book set and LeapReader Junior Scout and Friends and ABC Animal Orchestra board books.
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 Violet 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 Violet 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!

- Short vowel words
- Children learn to read and spell words with regular short vowel patterns (bed) and regular long vowel patterns (bake, meet).
- Position words
- Understanding position words, such as top, bottom, inside and outside gives children ways to describe the world, fostering language development.
- Sharing
- As children interact with one another during group play, they are taught to take turns and share, building their sense of empathy and compassion.
- Animals
- Even very young children can begin to categorize animals by species, imitate their sounds and learn interesting facts about them.
- The Alphabet
- Children who can recognize letters with confidence have an easier time learning letter sounds and word spellings.
- Music
- Making and listening to music can increase a child's creativity as well as support language, math, and physical development.
