Giveaway! LeapFrog Tag Reader
And now, for something completely different!
I’ve gotten such a cool opportunity for a giveaway, I’m all excited to share it with you. You see, it’s National Reading Month, and I’m not sure there are many causes more worthy of celebration. M and I were both big readers growing up, wasting pair after pair of batteries in our flashlights, reading entirely too late into the night. We can only hope to inspire the same willful disobedience in our kids, who seem to be getting a good start as they ask for more and more stories every night (and morning, and afternoon). For as tiring as two toddlers can be, I can never turn down a request to read a book.
Well, the folks at LeapFrog are all over this. Head over to their National Reading Month page and you can pledge to read a certain number of hours with your kids this month. And to celebrate, they’re letting little ol’ me give away one of their Tag Readers. It comes bundled with three books, including The Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs & Ham. How cool! I think it’s great to have more ways for different kids to interact with books, and this is a nifty tool to help encourage independence in young readers. (Not to mention like a $75 value……)
Here’s the rules for the giveaway. First, check out Christy’s review at About.com’s Family Computing site. Leave a comment below between now and Sunday, March 22 at 5pM Eastern, telling me one thing you learned about the Tag Reader from that review that you didn’t know before, and also what book you most hope they have included in their library.
For additional entries, you can tweet all about it (just don’t forget to include me: @etowndz), and/or write your own blog post and be sure to link back here. Just leave an additional comment for each additional entry (no more than one Twitter entry per person, per day, please).
Remember, this ends next Sunday! Good luck!
Also, be sure to check out Christy’s Family Computing blog for lots of super info and reviews on technology and kids. And, check out the other mom blogs featured that will be participating in this giveaway

Hello! I love how the LeapFrog Tag Reading System is able to read one word on the page, the entire page or the whole book to a child. Please enter my name in your fabulous giveaway drawing.
Many thanks, Cindi
I hope they have included Clifford Books in their
library…..

I had no idea that the pen had a headphone jack! My daughter thinks that headphones are a special treat, so she would love that. I checked out the library, and my daughter is a big Olivia fan, but I was hoping to see Scooby Doo as well…

I didn’t know the pen held only one user profile. Stupid world not designed for twins.
I just find it odd because the ClickStart allows you to set up multiple user profiles, so LeapFrog knows about multi-family homes.
The book I most want to see with the Tag is Fox in Sox. My late grandpa Bob is the only person I know who could read that whole book without slipping up once…it would be fun to try to beat Tag!

I love that it encourages them to read independently. My boys love Curious George books so that would be nice to see with the Tag.

Tag Reading System has one user profile, which means it tracks data for one person

What an awesome giveaway!! I had no idea that it came in a different color
Easier to designate a different pen to each kid that way..as long as one kid doesn’t mind pink (although, Burke would probably fight Maggie for the pink one at this stage. heh)
I’d love to see some Busy Town books (Richard Scarry). Or maybe some from the “If you Feed a Mouse a Cookie” series. Those would be fun.
Seriously – how do you get such cool giveaways?

Please enter me in this contest. I have seen this before and really didn’t know how it worked until I read the review. I love that it is an independent thing that encourages reading skills. Awesome! I think that my oldest would love. I hope that I win.
I am going now to tweet about it.

I have had my eye on this product for my 4 year old for a while now. While he loves for me to read to him, the independent nature and versatility of this product appear to be just what he needs to take the next step in reading on his own. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Oh, and any Dr. Seuss book would be divine!
March 16th, 2009 at 10:04 pm
I learned that the pen not only reads each word…but tells about pictures and allows you to play reading comprehension games too!! I’d LOVE this for my son, he’s a Math whiz but struggles in reading.

I learned that the Tag system requires Internet access to download audio for new books, and I’m really hoping they include Olivia. Thanks for the chance!
March 17th, 2009 at 10:49 am
I did not know about it could hold up to 5 books in it’s memory. I would have thought it would hold more, but I guess 5 is a fairly good amount. I would like to see some Disney books included, like Nemo and Wall-E.

I never thought about the TAG having only one reader profile.
I would love the book “Rikki Tikki Tembo” to be in the TAG library.

I learned that you have to have internet access to use it. I hope they have Curious George books because my son loves them. Thanks for the chance!
March 18th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
I didn’t know you needed internet connection to get audio for the new books-that might get tricky depending on how often you have to do that. I hope they have Is your mama a llama-one of my kids’ favorites.

What I found out that I didn’t know is this: “They can make a guess at a particular word and see if they are right. Or they can memorize the words, which is an early stage of learning to read.” So cool!

It’s good to know the ups and downs of the system. How can it be that bad though if it’s encouraging a little one to read! I’d love to see a Bible story book in the collection! Thanks for the giveaway!
