LeapFrog LeapReader Reading and Writing System, Green, Interactive Learning Toy for Kids, Enhances Reading, Writing, and Phonics Skills, Perfect for Preschoolers and Early Learners, Ages 4+

Se presenta muy completo y fácil, cuando no lo es. Para empezar, no lo puedes instalar en cualquier windows, debe ser uno de 32bits... cuando ahora la mayoría de windows 7 y 8 vienen con 64bits. El libro que trae, es una especie de libro-ejemplo con las cosas que puedes comprar para el lápiz, pero muy básico y rápidamente pierden el interés en él. Pensado para enganchar a la gente, y tener que comprar accesorios cada poco tiempo. No lo recomendaría...

大変良い。オークションより安く買えました。バッチリ使えます。

20150811 My daughter(3 years) loves it. A great product but costlier in India. If you can buy it from the amazon.com it'll be cheaper even after counting the shipping and taxes.

Update in 2020: I ***would*** like to purchase one of these for each of my niece/nephews as this has best learning toy we've found so far. This is especially since all parents of little kids right now are looking for screen free activities to engage their kids during COVID lockdown!!! Unfortunately, leapfrog is no longer supporting products for this pen. So you can't easily purchase the books/activities that go with the leapreader. So frustrating! I know they have a new "pen" called LeapStart Go, but my impression from briefly looking at reviews of that product suggest it's just not the same. The leap reader is completely screen free and encourages a lot of interaction with books (even for kids as small as 3.5 years old). ==========old review============= We have used leapreaders in our house for approx three years now. The oldest one I had finally gave out b/c the optical scanner malfunctioned. Even so, I think it's a great value and I purchased new ones for both kids. (And really, I cannot blame the company, my kid was NOT particularly careful with his LR). ******Why do I love it? It's a great way to keep young kids entertained without the use of a screen!!!****** You can download audiobooks and music via their stand alone computer based app. My older kid (approx 5 yrs) listened to a geronimo stilton mouse mystery on constant repeat during our last car trip and it kept him very engaged. (we had to beg him to listen to a stink and a junie B jones story to give us a break sometimes). My younger kid (approx 3) listened to a laurie berkener song on constant repeat during that same car trip. Of course, it is not just a mini MP3 player for kids. The interactive books you purchase are GREAT, it's not just about having the pen "read the book" for your kids. Each page of the books is interactive, so when your child touches an image there will be a corresponding sound or dialogue. It really brings books to life for them. Furthermore, there are great games/activities in some of the sets, we particularly like the body board "book" that includes a fun song about brushing your teeth and a game naming different parts of the body. Pretty much every book has an activity associated with it - for instance the beginning reader books have activities that help them with phonetics. PLEASE EVERYONE LET LEAPFROG KNOW THAT THEY ARE BEING SHORT SIGHTED. I believe the company is focusing their efforts on tablets, which makes sense market-share-wise. But they could also provide the leapreader as a choice for discerning parents that are looking for screen substitutes. Right now I've decided to stockpile leapreader supplies in case they get harder to find in the future. Keep supporting the leapreader please!!!!!! Our family LOVES them! I want to be able to give them as gifts for nieces and nephews, but it's hard to do when I'm not sure about the future of the product! (you know, since some of them are still infants).
